myersbg 1,385 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 BMI 110s direct from the company are $43 per doz , and i can assure you that i have handled plenty of other brands and all as good, having trapped in Canada. I get all my body grips sent over and even with shipping i save alot of money, lad. Quote Link to post
Matt 160 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 The 116 is only available in the UK. It was developed by Magnum and given approval by the UK authorities in '95. It's not available in the US or Canada. Quote Link to post

Matt 160 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 No one mentioned 116s I just did. If you want a multipurpose bodygripper for rabbits as well as other stuff here in the UK you have to buy the real deal. If alls you are worried about is a few quid, then import your own (and risk them getting seized at customs) or buy chinky crap and hope NE never find you using them... Personally I don't begrudge anyone making a living and there was a lot of time and money invested by Robin and Phil to get the traps approved. But each to his own Quote Link to post

But to buy direct from the company, you'd have to fly over there to get them, as you probably know! I too have used many brands of body grips, and to say that cheaper brands are as good as bmi, is not true IMO! Indeed, I believe bmi are second only to Canadian brands, but that's just my opinion! 1 Quote Link to post
Phil Lloyd 10,738 Posted November 29, 2014 Report Share Posted November 29, 2014 How do suppliers in this country come up with such high prices on 110s, in the us they can supply them for $36 per dozen, thats about £20. Because the sole importer had to submit the traps for approval and has the costs of importing the traps. He's also not in business to make a loss! I know it seems harsh, but let's not forget that if it hadn't been for two very good trappers who invested time and money getting the BMI's approved for use in the UK, we'd still have Fenns, and not a lot else True words...
