VX Tactical, Harrogate: Anyone used them?

Looking to buy something from a company in Harrogate called VX Tactical (www.vxtactical.co.uk) but as best as I can tell they don’t have an actual shop, Facebook hasn’t been updated for a year and no reviews online that I can see.

I don’t get the gut feeling there’s anything dodgy about it but would prefer a first or second hand review of someone who has used them if possible.

Cheers.

I suspect there is some connection to Viking Arms .

Certainly a lot of their products come from Viking .

Ah, is that a good thing?!

ETA: Looks like you’re right, Viking Arms has same address. The website doesnt have the item I’ve seen on VX Tactical though so wondering if it’s gonna be a ghost page and not available.

There was a trader at the northern shooting show a few years back who used the same address .
They were selling chinese copies of bore snakes , shooting glasses and some very very cheap scopes .

Its probably an arms length operation to move stuff that viking does not want on their normal website.

Hmm, that’s not great. It’s a sight I’m after too.

Perhaps worth a punt if it actually is in stock and if there’s any problems fall back on credit card protection if no joy from seller.

Under the complaints section....."Complaints shall be made in writing to Viking Arms Ltd, Summerbridge, Harrogate, North Yorkshire HG3 4BW".

Unless they use a business model of getting complaints sent to other random companies, I'd guess they are one and the same as Viking Arms ;)

Update: So it is a part of Viking Arms, lady on the phone was lovely and very helpful but unfortunately the EoTech XPS2 I wanted wasn’t in stock... though they did offer a discount on the XPS3 for the inconvenience so I took that.

So far, so happy, I’ll update when it arrives!
