Yeah, I didn't see it coming. Of course, I don't follow PCP's, but if I recall correctly, it's only been a few months since it was rolled out with a big splash. I'm curious how it went sideways.
What (I) think is you can only repackage old stuff so long before the consumer will say, nice but that is not anything new.
Personally I love my Maximus, it is really a go to rifle for me, very easy to hole, does not weigh much, and with the euro version it is like it is on a reg, it just spits out pellets the same speed for ever.
I see them resting on their heals....trying to milk everything they can out of existing platforms. Mrod is getting pretty long in the tooth along with disco. There are other guns out there that are doing the same job, or even a better job for less money.
The only thing they have going for them is word of mouth, and this is slowly going away.
With the new crop of air guns out there why would anyone buy a disco....get a chief, be money ahead and have a better shooter, same with the Mrod.
You can't keep making the same thing year after year and think people are not going to look around and go...hay that is cool.
They are not even making cool new "fun stuff" The new umerex lever guns are huge fun...just flat fun.
I think they are missing the market here.
