Knowing you, you want something more ruged to do a job perhaps. Honestly, it'll look great and you hit everything, but would you take it out on a wet Dorset night on bugs... no, you wouldn't, you'd take your Ultra 1 Quote Link to post

villaman 9,983 Posted March 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Well i said i might even think about Daystate , I contacted one of the local RFD and asked about daystate guns FAC . Yes he said we can do that for you about a 4 week wait ,then he said " i would like you to sign a disclaimer so if anything goes wrong then you contact daystate and deal with them , we are not the only ones doing it but another 3 local RFD are as well " . Apparently nearly every daystate they have sold had to go back , that includes sub 12 and fac and when it does go back then daystate say nothing wrong with the gun and charge you for looking at it and postage . This is the same problem i had before with them . A leopard never changes its spots as the saying goes Quote Link to post
philpot 5,005 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I guess they are coming off the list then Mitch. My local rfd will not deal with them at all now after having so many issues with the company. You need a trip over to Sweden mate and get the testing done and order placed. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
