What a palava..................

Well, despite them saying that Mitch, Sportsman must be fcuking mental for buying in this way but there again, it comes as no surprise. Perhaps they have only been able to do the deal / pricing structure they have by linking into the German stock. Still sounds like bullsh1t to me mate.  I wouldn't trust them for all the tea in China, nothing seems straight forward with that outfit and I am seriously sorry they have got hold of a great brand like FX.

Phil , nothing wrong with the sportinggun

had some cracking deals from them 
Tikka HMR £480  , CZ 457 royal £640  ,GRS hunter far cheaper than anywhere else . 
Don’t forget ASI had a good slagging off about FX guns by most who tried to order them , most of the time ,shooter waiting between 10 -12 weeks for fx guns and some never got them at all

I am sure you have Mitch and I don't doubt it,  you have a higher regard than I do.

I have had three NONE dealings with this mob and each time it has been to follow up on adverts for guns on Gun Trader which they don't have or ever have done, in fact on one call they tried to tell me they could get the gun for me when I know for a fact that the gun was not available in the country / importer.  You have had fair deals with them Mitch, forgive me mate but I don't share your faith.

[villaman 9,983]

Yep I understand Phil
it’s a bit like me and The scum up at Blackpool air rifles

Not on my list of dealers, I've only heard bad things from them, I remember pav had a load of hassle , that I know first hand, there pure liars ! Sell stuff they don't have or that's not even due in ! It was the same a few weeks ago, they were advertising that they had a tikka t3 left hand varmint in stock .223 ! Turns out yet again they didn't & the expected delivery into the country was over 6mths !

I suppose I am lucky they are virtually on my door step  , I buy most of my ammo from them £12.40 for Hornady 17 and  £5.75 for .22 Winchester’s and like I said had some great  other deals , wasn’t that long ago people were now Moaning about ASI

Yes I found Tony great to deal with and helped me out with some parts free of charge , saying that sportsman gave me a 10 and 5 shot mags  for the cz .22 two days ago for nothing

When I wanted a hw99 I phoned clay pigeon /babylon Hill branch as it said online they had one in stock, some thing told me to phone them up to double check before I drove all the way out there. 

And turns out they didn't have it, it was in their Exeter branch and I could drive up there put a deposit down and then drive back out there in a week to collect it, I declined the offer.
