Good Gun Deals This Week

My research has been about $5-6k on this side and $1k-1500 for overseas. No VAT since exporting but a hefty tariff and importation taxes and fees.
 
13% US tariff is cheaper than the European 19% or 20% VAT, thought. Holts occasionally has good buys.

There should not be a VAT, but depending on the auction/seller, sometimes they assess the VAT (improperly), and you have to seek a refund. I grew weary and just wrote it off.

Kinda/Sort of ….
If the winner uses the exporter Holts provides or someone who’s UK based then the VAT is assessed and the winner needs to try and file for it back.
If the winner uses a US based company who initiated the export following the close of the auction, then the VAT typically gets removed from the invoice.

Unless they’ve changed some things; on select auctions, Holts sometimes specifies that VAT will be collected regardless.

It’s not hard to replace the stock with an American stock. Shouldn’t keep you away from a good buy.

I just took delivery on a rifle I bought from Holts. It took 15 months to get to the U.S., and you are correct about the additional costs. That $500 rifle turned out to not be such a bargain. ;)

While a few AH members have gotten some true bargains on Holts even after all the up charges I would bet my farm most people end up like you not really getting much of a bargain after all costs factor in
 
I commerical import and export firearms ...the cost of just one or two is insane...But did you know it is possible to import without having the rifles import marked.

Nope VAT is not charged in any case with Holts..Just poor paperwork from the exporter or purchaser. Why am I so sure ? I purchase 100 guns a quarter from Holts.

As you stated in your post above, you’re a commercial exporter. You’re initiating the export from outside the UK, not just functioning as an individual buyer. I’ve personally had holts tell me what I stated above and have purchased from them numerous times. I’ve got multiple invoices from Holts where they charged VAT assuming I was using their exporter.

You are however right that doing 1 or 2 guns at a time is very expensive. 15-20 is where I’ve found a pretty decent price break/savings.

That link is for one of the pictures. Here is a link to the listing itself:


Agreed, not a bad price these days. Crazy to think that Cabelas used to have these on Clearance for sub-$500 in the late 2000's.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
