Re: Sig Sauer news
Hi Duane
I see you have posted last year that Sauer supplier has changed. I have recently reviewed the comments on the Sauer 100 which seems very positive, however overseas it sells for under US700 for it is aimed at the entry level. Locally it sells for double that amount(R18500). Which is only a fraction lower than the Sauer 101. Most of the other Sauer models are on level price overseas and here. It seems the local importer is cashing in on the Sauer name on what is suppose to be a entry level segment rifle, which is disappointing.

Re: Sig Sauer news
Sadly, a price multiplier of ~26 isn't too surprising. Let's say the order was placed 6-9 months ago - the exchange rate was around R14/$1 at the time. That multiplier gets 15% customs duty, 7% ad valorem, and VAT added for a base price multiplier of R19.88/$1 (ie. R13,916 per rifle) before you even look at shipping, export permits, import permits, and any profit.

Re: Sig Sauer news
First off, my rifle knowledge is limited, that's why this thread is about Sig Sauer handguns. Second, South African firearms and related pricing has been discussed a few times on Gunsite, I suggest you do a search. it's not as simple or straight forward as you may think.
And please do think that anyone in the SA gun business is out to screw anyone....it is a tough old business to survive in.www.480bc.co.za
