FX Crown

[Terry D]

The market is moving to reduced cost high quality offerings ...

Is it, Rob? What makes you think that, mate?

The Crown is selling beyond supply, Daystate's order books are crammed with shooters who want the new Red Wolf and Wolverine R, and Air Arms still can't make enough Galahads and Ultimate Sporters. I'm sure there will always be a high demand for high quality/more affordable guns, but there will also be a permanent demand from those who prefer, and can afford, the 'designer' rifles.

Many, many shooters of all types indulge themselves with guns that provide pleasure of ownership, in addition to simply doing a job. It's not about 'need', it's more about 'want' and 'enjoy'. There's room for us all, and may that always be the case.

Terry,

I used to buy the TBM (trail bike magazine) and every month they did a column that showed what bikes that were at top of the sales list the previous month .Like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/dvv47jt2w9...61343.jpg?dl=0

Is there anything like this for Airgun sales ?

I know it may be difficult with private sales for the european sellers . Iit would show whats being sold in the UK market.

I hope for all our sakes your right Terry. In my opinion the closer we get to Brexit, the more we will see inflation rise which is going to tighten the purse strings of just about everyone. Coupled with the impending licensing, which is very likely to happen if you read between the lines. The American market is already awash with low price high quality offerings and they will find their way over here. Until the above happens.

You're reading between lines that are WAY different to the ones I'm looking at, Rob. I'll be absolutely amazed if licensing happens, and we still don't know what the full effect of Brexit will be, do we?

I've studied things from every angle I have have access to and I'm staying positive. You should try it, mate.

I hope your positivity is right.

Not convinced Brexit will increase inflation, what do you base the assumption on?

Licensing may happen some time in the future, but think it unlikely..

What quality offerings in America, the US forums I read are all about DS, FX, RAW etc. nowt American.

According to the Bank of England it already is rising.
