    Just had a look in my 2008 AGW buyers guide to compare RRP on a few where the same model still exists,

    model rrp 2008 - 2022
    AA s410 = £532 - £859
    AA tx200 hc = £325 - £699
    Pro Sport = £407 - £839

    BSA lightning tac £285 - £375
    Scorpion = £399 - £689

    HW 100kt = £822 - £1035
    HW 95 = £285 - £440
    HW 97k = £386 - £505
    HW 98 = £411 - £540
    HW 99 = £225 - £286

    Interesting reading AB.

    At a glance the TX has had the biggest increase in price, having more than doubled in the 14 year period.
    The list also seems to show that Weihrauch have only marginally increased the price of their products over the same period.







    All the best Mick

    Very interesting - I've added numbers in brackets to the above for what the Bank of England inflation calculator reckons it should be today - the 100KT (especially) and 99 being substantially cheaper...

    That's why i never sell to them, to be fair they have to make their mark up & cover overheads, wages etc, but if i was going to sell a gun at a bargain price it would be to a mate who really wanted it & wouldn't just flip it for a profit.

    Same as if you trade in a car back to the dealer, usually the worst deal going, because they want a profit when they re-sell it used.

    Interesting that the British manufactured guns have increased far more than the Europeans, despite the fact that the Pound has gone down the swannee over the period. One would expect the converse.

    Many thanks, it may be worth giving them a call to see if they have anything I'm after.

    Looking at the list gives me absolutely no incentive to buy a British gun.
