    Long established uk company allies itself to a cheaper manufacturer abroad and slaps its names on their inferior products. Call me cynical but it’s Webley all over again.

    Yeah Chris, unfortunately my mixed feelings are certainly swinging that way

    I hope I’m wrong though as it would be awful to see AA go diluted and end up not just like Webley but Diana as well

    The Precihole guns have caught my interest earlier, they seem to have an interesting combination of features:

    AA have rebranded good guns earlier, so I'm hopeful that this might be an opportunity to finally see the Precihole springers here in Europe.
    Too many airguns!

    Interesting evert,

    It’s not a brand I’ve ever heard of before.

    Just had a look at the precihole website they actually look fairly good I hope you are right with the rebranding of good guns as the CZ200 as we all know was superb.

    IF they can make good money on rebranding imported guns of good quality, it might be a needed move to keep the company alive in today's economy.
    Lets just hope the Precihole guns are good, and that AA also keeps the local production going.

    Indian in origin.
    They had a break barrel rammer that does 20Joule, don't see the point myself.
    They do a spring version, supposed to be better quality than the budget offerings.

    Air Arms are not branding these guns, just the importer and distributer.

    They haven't got any. They don't know the prices.

    Air Arms are only acting as an importer and distributor. Whatever the quality will be like, one thing is for certain.... It'll be miles better than that shite that comes from Sweden.

    Has there been any further updates with these hitting the dealers yet?

    I’ve lost track a tad since the OP

    I suspect they will start cheaper but not vastly, then if they prove popular expect steady price rises.

    I've just read through this whole thread with great interest in the differing opinions on this subject.

    I then put 'Precihole Arms' into Google Search, up popped the relevant page, with a box on the right hand side which shows the company name, address etc along with a map and a pic which says 'see outside'. Clicking on it took me to Google Earth 'street view' outside the Precihole factory.

    Two words instantly sprang to mind.........Oh Dear!!
