Albiscuit Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Yeah the system is flawed (like most of the ones in this country) in favour of the stealing directors who can steal workers money, rip off the people and fold the company and restart it with a similar name and a different director. I had a boss like this once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Ignite Tactical. Not an overly imaginative name change. It's definitely the same guy, while the site isn't overly forthcoming with contact details or company info, the privacy policy contains our good friend George's name and address at the bottom of it. So either they're changing the name and are going to be Xtreme Tactical trading as Ignite Tactical which is perfectly fine ...... or ....... they're setting up to liquidate the former and replace it with the latter. There is no mention of Xtreme on the Ignite page, so the evidence suggests that history is about to repeat itself. Yes, the system is flawed and that is why we need to look out for this kind of stuff so that people don't get ripped off. It's up to banks etc to do their due diligence , if it's something we can do as a community pretty quickly then they should have no problem finding out the same info. That said, as BIGShow knows/is Mr Gibbons/Quantum Tactical/Xtreme Tactical/Ignite Tactical then he has had the opportunity to fill us in of the details of what actually happened to the last company and why SIG optics are no longer for sale - if we are so wrong in our conclusions then this is the perfect place to set us straight. However, judging by the previous outbursts and pretending to be someone else, I don't think it'll happen and if it does it's likely to be as honest as a cheque from Quantum Tactical.

AirSniper Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Well both pages in links provided are gone... so I say that this is suspect having seen this before as a move by some unscrupulous people to then deny warranty claims or refunds and claim that they never stocked the item. So this would be suspect trading and based in the UK the guy is risking heavy fines, especially selling knockoffs or the method he is using, bait and switch which is illegal to do.

Moderators Tackle Posted September 28, 2021 Moderators Share Posted September 28, 2021 Only thing we can do is get the word out & ensure it remains current, forums/FB/review sites, for the benefit of any potential customers, airsofters or otherwise. that sounds like I'm advocating a hate campaign against the seller, obviously I wouldn't do that😏, just important to protect the community.

Thank you for replying my message, Xtreme Tactical emailed me this night said his contact in USA couldn't found available stock, and he suggested for a refund, so I decied to take my money back. I also ordered a holosun hm3x magnifier with the sig red dot and light. He said the magnifier is coming, should I keep the magnifier? I brought it during black Friday discount sales.

Moderators Tackle Posted November 29, 2023 Moderators Share Posted November 29, 2023 Sounds like you dodged a BB there (😏), yep grab the refund, but he might not be so keen to refund the magnifier if he's ordered it from a third party. If you do want it refunded, better attempt it ASAP before it gets shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I am a lucky person. Just asking, where did you guys bought your optics? Is there any store you guys would like to recommend to me?

sliverfish is not fish Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Alright, here is the update, surprisingly he gave me a full refund this morning. I would take your advice and try to buy optics from USA. Do I need to pay taxes for buying optics from USA? If the answer is yes, then how am I supposed to pay it?

I would just buy from U.K. retailers, if you want solid no quibble lifetime warranty buy Vortex from any approved stockist , if you want Eotech go through UKtactical , if you want Aimpoint go through Edgarbrothers .

Never mind the optics, look how many types of bacon they've got to choose from, lucky bastards 🤤🥓 I wouldnt worry too much about the optics, if you're purely an airsoft shooter then your average AliExpress kit is more than up to the job👍 Rogerborg and sliverfish is not fish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme Tactical Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Hi All I wanted to clear a couple of things up. As this post has been around and obviously is making people nervous about me and my company. I understand completely as there is a lot of scammers out there. So let me be an open book and explain 3 years after this post My first company Quantum Tactical UK which was Rifle Optics UK, I had to change the name because I was struggling to get a Bank account due to the name having Rifle believe it or not. This business failing was an extremely hard pill to swallow for me but had no choice. I lost may supplier for over 6 months plus, 2 months before covid lockdowns. I thought this would be permanent. So I had no supplier with debt to service with no products to sell. The banks won’t wait for there money. There was no lending options at the time as they were not giving out the FREE COVID money when this happened. You will get in serious trouble if you continue to run a limited company knowing it is in trouble. So I took the very hard decision after speaking to my accountant to liquidate. This wasn’t cheap and I had to find the money which was everything I had saved. Quantum Tactical is now dissolved which proves no issues or wrong doing occurred it was just bad luck. There is a lot more happening now as people can’t pay back the bounce back loans… anyway Bigshow was a friend who thought he was doing me a favour. And clearly didn’t he was working with me on Ignite Tactical. Let’s say no more Ignite tactical was another name for the company which I decided I was sticking with Xtreme Tactical and I closed down ignite Tactical website. It is a simple as that. No hidden agendas or schemes. I am not a criminal or schema nobody lost from the liquidation, supplier was paid in full I had no staff apart from myself. Lloyds bank and Paypal lost as I had loans with them. That is it. I lost my savings my business and had no salary for a year as I tried to build Xtreme Tactical. No COVID money either as I was a Directer. February 2025 it will be 5 years in business with no major issues at all. Please ask the over 3000 customers I have had. My reviews don’t reflect this as it’s extremely hard to get reviews. It is a battle today to tried and build a business so I wanted to put my own comments on here. Please send me a message if you want to discuss anything. Please read website reviews https://xtremetactical.co.uk Trust Pilot Reviews https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/xtremetactical.co.uk Google reviews - just google the company Social media accounts have all new images up. Facebook is brand new again as Facebook censorship is real issue and they hate anything to do with guns. All links are on the website. Any question please message me on any of the socials. Thanks and happy shooting. George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest all this sob story has done is remind me not to buy anything from whatever name this guy is trading under now People wanted me to explain all of the questions so I did not a sob story. The SIG sights I sell are 100% Authentic. I have sold loads and yet no complaints they are fakes or clones. look at the reviews its speaks for them selves proven this author of this post wrong almost 3 years on not 1 review saying I have sold a Fake or a clone! Thanks for your comment. If you have never been a customer of mine how can you still say I'm selling fakes. 17 hours ago, Tackle said: Yeah I'd forgotten the details of original post, care to comment @Xtreme Tactical ?🤔 The author of this post put up I am selling fakes and clones which is complete lies. I did nothing to him apart from him to start attacking me on eBay and reporting things to everyone. I see he is no longer a member here. I don't appreciate people on this post also attacking me and nobody has any proof, ever been a customer or know me personally. But I suppose it's easy nowadays just to type whatever you want about somebody. I have read all the comments and I don't know any of you but the assumptions made and the attacks are out of order.

blobface Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 (edited) Hey guys, came across this thread when I asked an airsoft WhatsApp group I was in what they thought about Xtreme Tactical as I was about to place a pre-order and heard some worrying comments then was eventually directed to this thread. I'm here to speak in defence of Xtreme Tactical with no affiliation to them, but simply a customer of theirs since they were Rifle Optics UK on eBay and more recently Xtreme Tactical in their own store. 2016 July: Elcan Spectre FDE for 7.62 from Rifle Optics UK on eBay. 2016 November: Eotech branded handheld thermal sight X320 from Rifle Optics UK on eBay. 2024 June: Holosun 509T in FDE from Xtreme Tactical from their site 2024 July: SIG Romeo X Pro FDE (Released a month ago, which the owner listed on their site within a few days at my request, received just under 2 weeks later) I have had nothing but good experience, these optics are all difficult to source even with other sites which I buy from often, such as TacticalKit or Uttings. Prices have been within market range and they are also VAT registered for those this is relevant to. I can't speak for the way the owner behaved or how it "got personal" given none of the exchange were made public by either party, if you are a legitimate shop that deals in genuine optics and accessories, which in my experience Rifle Optics / Xtreme Tactical proved to be, being called out by someone who isn't a customer of yours that you are a fraud is understandably frustrating to say the least, especially when the accusation seems mostly from observing screenshots and markings, which any collector of real optics can tell you, markings can change even for the same model between batches, and just because something is real and costs a lot, does not make them immune to bad QC (I've had to exchange the Trijicon SRO with Beechwood due to visible glue residue in the diode lens reflecting through the sight picture, every one of my Eotech has delaminated and I own Surefire(s) with at least three different type of markings). I can however speak to my experience as a customer, every one of these purchases have been dealt with swiftly, shipped within the stated time windows, there were no troubles with customs as they were shipped from the UK, and the products were as advertised (i.e. genuine). I'm going out of my way to do this because it felt like the dogpile was unfair, as an optics and accessories collector in the UK and a happy customer, the service Xtreme Tactical offers is rare, hate to see the attacks against them go unchallenged.

bladerunner168 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Another happy customer to vouch for @Xtreme Tactical. Again, I have no affiliation with the company whatsoever. Put simply, I've had no problems with this company, every time I have ordered from them, service has been on point. The products I bought were genuine and items arrived on time as advertised. I don't know or understand the beef that occured earlier on in this thread, I'm simply here to say the Xtreme Tactical is a reliable seller. I've attached some orders that I could find, (eBay records only goes back to 2017 for me). The reason why there are no further orders after 2019 is because I left the UK. For full transparancy, @blobface and I are on the same WhatsApp group and I also came here to speak up after he DM me. Let's get real, there are much greater opportunities to benefit from scams than "pretending" to be a RS optics/accessories seller. RS gear is such a niche market in the UK, we need to really support the good and reliable sellers like @Xtreme Tactical.
