Hi,
So there are a few things going on that need to be in a more dedicated thread (They will be in the other Hoplite Arms thread too) due to their importance and relevance pertaining to Hoplite Arms business side of things.
The other thread is more of a free for all type posts and updates. This one will be mission critical
UPDATE 1: DOWNPAYMENT PROGRAM
We are in the final stages of testing the Aspis weapon system and will begin taking down payments toward the end of next week; with an anticipated lead time being 8 weeks (Dependent on barrel specifications as I have mentioned a few different times) for the Lapua Magnum boltface cartridges.
In the 8 weeks anticipated lead times for the Aspis model rifles we are hoping to be testing the Kopis conversion kits that will allow users to go from Lapua Magnum cartridges to regular magnum cartridges (300PRC, 300WM, etc) to short action cartridges (308, 6.5CM, etc).
NOW here is the important part of our down payment program!!
Apsis Weapon System (Base model): $6900
Down Payment: $3500
Balance Due: 30 Days AFTER DELIVERY!!!
YES you read that correctly!! Hoplite Arms will be offering Net 30 Payment terms. Pretty sure that might be an industry first; if not it has to be pretty close to it.
UPDATE 2: LAYAWAY PROGRAM
We will be offering an interest free 1 year layaway program in which you pay a deposit of $1000 and you make monthly payments; interest free until paid off. Until you pay it off we will send you monthly pictures of your rifle posing for you, lol.
UPDATE 3: LEFT HANDED RIFLE PROGRAM
Ok, so after a brief inquiry this morning from a potential customer in regards to his desire for a Hoplite Arms rifle it was brought to attention that he is left handed.
So to put our money where our mouth is in regards to we absolutely want our customers journey to be as awesome as the rifle, we made an offer to him and we (Hoplite Arms) had already decided that depending on his reply to our offer we would make it public process or not.
So here was the offer:
"After looking at the procurement schedule and availability of specialized materials we utilize along with R&D production schedule we would like you shooting sooner rather than later.
Shooting is a hobby and passion and not one that we should wait around for; at least that is our opinion.
So after real quick internal conversation we may have a possible solution to your "wrong handedness" lol.
May we suggest purchasing the Aspis in its' RH configuration initially and when the LH action has been tested and passed our satisfaction you can send your rifle back in for us to give it a complete quality check was well as rebuild it with a new LH action for an extremely fair prorated price.
By extreme we mean shipping, processing and paint. The LH action at that point would be virtually no cost to you."
So with his acceptance of that offer we are implementing it as its' own program.
Pretty sure that might be an industry first too, lol!!!
Sincerely,
Theis
