Verney Carron going under!

I was very impressed with the VC rifles I've handled and it saddens me to hear they are going under.

I posted mid year and at the end of 2024 that I thought now will be remembered as a great time to buy these rifles. New and especially preowned.

Materials and labor costs are never going back to pre Covid times. Many companies have been absorbing those costs. Some have either been incrementally raised. Or will need a drastic increase reset to survive. If you look at the books. Most are upside down and are being subsidized by another profitable entity.

Then when fewer new rifles enter the market. The used market will increase in value.
Buy, Buy, Buy

(If the African hunting model continues as is.)

Sad to hear this news. I have owned a couple VC's.
