They weren't very desirable, compared to what else you could get for the money.

I suspect Umarex were selling off old stock, perhaps they had acquired them cheap when (IIRC) Rutten folded, or just because Rutten/Browning hadn't managed to shift them, and unloaded them to someone else.

Rarely seen - thats cos they are mega rare now .
Not desirable ? Webley level manufacture , with pro blued steel actions to match , unusual and unique cocking action .... shall I go on ?

The crux is most UK airgunners are conservative .
If they had bypassed the UK and released these in the US only , or S. America , Rutten would be still making them .
Something new comes along , expensive ...nah lets just stay with a break barrel springer .
