Tau Brno 7 match pistol WANTED

[zooma]

Thanks Yana

I have looked at the Tau site and see that the price quoted converted to Sterling is £290

Has anyone bought direct from the factory? Im wondering if there are issues relating to shipping items - I believe that the Czech Rebublic is in the EU.

If its problematic then I am wondering whether a dealer could order it from them?

I would prefer a new one if possible

Cheers
Ian

Hi Ian,

I have just been checking and see that the TAU 7 Match is still available, but with a walnut grip - the rather nice looking laminated grip has now been deleted, and there is no mention of the nice fitted alloy case any more.

The price for this pistol is shown as 498.80 euros in the Czech Republic - rather more than the £290 you have quoted - but still a very good price.

I am not sure what the delivered price to the UK would actually work out at, but if this price does include the local vat then it is only the delivery and banking charges ( for the currency) that need to be added. That is the theory anyway - who will be the first in the UK to test it?

A new TAU 7 Match in its fitted alloy case was sold locally today for £450 - an even better deal I would say as it was able to be inspected first and tested before any cash was handed over, and the very desirable laminated grip was included. If it is kept in mint and "as new" condition it could be a collecters model of the future - but in my opinion it would be far better to shoot it as much as possible and enjoy what is a superbly accurate value for money match air pistol.

They don't cost that much new in any case ( in real comparative terms), so they will still retain a fair percentage of their value after several years of active service. A well used TAU 7 in good condition that has been looked afer by its previous owner will still fetch £250 any day, and with the current suggested retail price being quoted buy the UK importer of £880 plus it is well worth trying to find a new one in the UK for around the £500 mark, or if you can live without the laminated grip see if you can import one direct for about the same sort of price delivered.
