Another Trip to Intershoot
Options
-
18-09-2010 12:16pm#1yesterday I made the journey to (ta-rone) to make a few purchases with Mr Intershoot.
Whilst I was there I said to myself I'd spread the word on what equipment was available there.
As a picture paints a thousand words, here is a flavour of what is available and keenly priced
And for you Remington Shotgun owners out there €25 for choke tubes

I have spent a lot of money here, I could not get the ammo "I" wanted here.
I tried, nobody would bother getting it for me.
I spend a small fortune here on firearms, scopes, gear etc.
I've given many dealers the price of their dinner.
Never once was I even offered a cup of tea in most of them.
I was shocked when I was treated as a family friend in the North.
When I have spent close on €15000 at a guesstimate on stuff relating to firearms down the years.
I Always support local enterprise. if you notice today i have advertised 3 home grown business as opposed to Sportingservices.co.uk
Was that a dig at me Tack ? It was I who recommended sportingservices.co.uk today and you know that.
I recommended them to Norwayviking simply because I didnt know of anywhere that he could buy an AI stock within the republic of Ireland.
While you on the other hand went north to purchase items that could be easily bought on our side of the border, theres a difference and lets face it Tack, sportingservices.co.uk were a much better recommendation to NorwayViking then your one where you told him to check out:
http://www.stockysstocks.com/servlet/the-108/mcmillan-a5-stock-tactical/Detail
Which is an "AMERICAN" Supplier - Not Irish and the weird thing is is you also told NorwayViking that YOU know some "Top Class Target Shooters" that use stocks from the above AMERICAN supplier - but on the bottom of their shipping info page they state that they "DONT SHIP OUTSIDE THE US" Funny how the shooters you know managed to get theres ?

It was most certainly not a dig.
In regards to sportingservices it was the first name that came into my head.
Just for the record AICS stocks can be bought here. I've held two in my hands in the past two weeks, I've seen the stock apart and I have completely gone off them as a result.
I also showed a link to Andy Walshs stocks which are of extremely high quality.
And Edi Graef PSE stocks, both made in Ireland!
I said correctly that many of teh top shooters in the country have Stocks made by these individuals.
i went to the North BECAUSE I could not get any ammo I wanted here Simples.
If they sold it I'd buy it.
I'd prefer not to have to travel 600 miles for a few boxes of ammo
in regards to the American stocks, RFD's can get them. I have seen several of all makes and shapes lately!0 -

Hey vix and tackleberry i just wanna say thanks for all the help.
I think vix,that tackle only posted it to help me,something i really appreciate,and he also found me a local dealer here in Ireland,so dont have to go through the hassle of gettin it from the US.I know i can easily get it in norway,but its so much more expensive there.
When it comes to ammo,i also have the chance of reloading in Norway,and bring the ammo back here,something i am considering since its all about money at the end of the day.0 -

Agreed. I never buy straight away. I always shop around. He didn't and literally, paid the price.He was smart enough to be able to haggle the price down by 150, was happy to conclude the deal and now has a moan?
Also true, but when dealing with certain dealer for years you come to trust them and their word. His mistake, but it was naive on his part and pure greed on the dealers.He should grow up.
Everyone is entitled to moan. I was faced with a situation like this years ago. Was told...... " its the last one in stock and no-one else has one. It'll be months before anyone will have another one". I told the dealer i'm in no hurry to sell away and i'll look again in a few months. Got a call 2 days later and the rifle suddenly was cheaper and available in different stocks. Told the dealer to keep it and bought elsewhere. But then again i'm a stubborn f**ker, if someone tries to milk/screw me i never darken their door and advise all others to avoid them. Word of mouth can build or destroy a business.Yes, some retailers have got an attitude problem, but it is the customer that created it. During the Tiger Years the number of ‘I want it NOW’ customers was a PITA and we all know of cases – and laughed at them - where fools and money were parted all too easily. Don't get me going on that topic!
Nor me. Its the same with car dealers and most other businesses. They are acting like there is no recession, then they wonder why their companies are folding.There is no point in a dealer of anything selling at a loss or break-even;
I think you've taken me up wrong on this point. One dealer inparticular has always "minded" me. He has given the best deal possible, good value for money and ONCE, a deal where he broke even. By that he covered his minimum costs and the firearm cost me very little if anything over retail. He done this because of my previous custom. As a result i have left many thousands in his shop, so has my father, and i refer all family, friends and anyone asking me for dealer opinions to him. The same dealer bought in ammunition that i wanted for me alone. He buys it by the batch and i buy it in blocks. As it runs low he orders more. He done this off his own bat, to keep a customer happy. THAT is a dealer.
There is no doubt the lad i'm refering to has been stung nor the fact that he did not do his homework. As you know though, he knew his mistake and i was not going to kick the chap when he was down. Dealers can blame Joe public for the way we as customers demanded items previously, however the same applies in reverse. If the dealers got their attitudes from people "demanding" certain firearms regardless of the costs when times were good it means they had to adapt and change then. So why can they not do so again now that times are hard. Firearm prices and other items have not really come down, but the sport seems recession proof (to a degree). I mean lads are still buying, not in the quantities they were, but still buying all the same. Lads are still getting custom builds as is evident by the work load of John Greene and Fergal White.
If dealers can take a "hit" and encourage customers to return and possibly bring along new customers they will ride this storm well. If they are in it for a quick sale with no regard to return business they will fail and IMO they deserve it. As does any business/company not willing to "bend" a little.

Ezri, as you know I always promote dealers who treat me well.
I paid a lot out over the years.
I've learned a lot, every days a school day though.
A cup of coffee is a very simple act for a dealer to do, after all we pay for the pot
I never will say this lad is brilliant "unless" I BELIEVE they are
Pedro,
At some point Dealers will have to cop on.
G&B would not even take a phone call off me even though I have owned 4 Remington's all out of their shop!
I have heard others have been treated differently, as they were the Big players.
if i make the effort to drive to a dealers on a cold wet night in the winter, they can make the effort to look after their customers
The Land of Cead Milé Failte, has turned into how much can we squeeze out of ya!0 -
