hamiclar01, the long wait was well worth it..
I received this well used venom vantage as a gift. Then sent the 77K for complete tuning, re blueing, engraving & stock refinishing to steve pope.
Inder,
Custom officers initially said they would have to detain the air rifle for a appraiser to come & value the 77K, they refused to believe it is a 7-8 year old air rifle which has been re furbished inspite of showing old pictures. We did not have the original invoice.
The officers on duty was always very polite. The value of a HW77K was then seen on the internet, all attempts to convince them that the duty is 35% failed, after close to 4 hours we paid 53% duty.
When the district rifle association membership letter was shown it did make a difference, they were overheard saying that a shooter has brought in a air gun which should be released after paying duty.
Sat
, and the stock is simply fantastic! happy shooting!
