Yes, these avoid the tariffs as we get it directly from the manufacture in Italy.
You can also check with your local club as we supply many of them or at least the members of the club put in a group buy.

How do you figure cheaper than Challenger?
The Clever are $105.00 for 100 roughly $260.00 for a flat while can get Challenger for $110.00 a flat.
Their website clearly lists Clever Mirage at $119.99 per flat (250). Multiple options in shot size and velocity.

New stock Challenger is $179 a flat, a price I would never pay for a “budget” shell.
Also where are you getting Challenger at $110 a flat? I only know of one store in Canada doing that and it’s holding old stock. But if you compare Challenger at $110 and Clever at $119 I’m taking Clever every time as it’s a better shell and $10 is worth it.
I’m really impressed by Italian’s offerings. Definitely worth a drive for bulk purchases. Really glad I saw this thread.
Yes I am familiar with the NB dealer you are referring to, but that is all old stock. New inventory is much higher. I honestly feel Challenger is gouging their customers hard due to the tariffs. I emailed them directly and they said their costs have only increased around 7-10%, yet on the shelves we are seeing a massive spike, many stores went from $134.99 to $179.99 in a matter of months.
At any rate, the prices ISG is offering is the best I have seen in Western Canada by far and they deserve recognition for that in addition to importing top European brands.

$49.99 is sadly a great deal these days. On Vancouver Island, the 100rd Wal-Mart and Canadian Tire 100rd Challenger packs are $69.99

They sell it by the 250rd case on their website for $119.99. It's not like Cabelas how they list it by the individual box only. Just search Clever shells on their website and adjust the filter to size 250rds.

I can guarantee you that the gun dealer is NOT selling old challenger stock !! I was in store 6 weeks ago when the semi was unloading skids of new challenger shells !!!
The Handicaps, bith sizes 7.5 & 8s, even the lower velocity loads. STILL...109.99 per case. All his Fed Top Gun & REM GUN CLUBS are also 109.99 a case !!!
Our local club Nova Sporting Clays took the last 100 cases he had on board his unit when he was down here in NS @ the end of April for the Rizinni shoot.
Do a little research..stop assuming..watch the stock inventory numbers for yourself....no problem to know when he gets another shipment in.
