Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Of late I've been struggling to find my usual reloading powders at my local-ish stockists so did a quick 'net search over the weekend for other stockists that weren't too far away and was surprised to find one that was almost literally just down the road, ok, 15 minutes away but that'll do me!.

A very quick response to an email I sent them on Saturday to confirm they had what I wanted in stock saw me head just over the Shropshire/Staffordshire border after I finished work this afternoon and I have to say I'm very impressed.The shop is well stocked with a selection of scopes and mounts, ammunition in most popular calibres, reloading and cleaning supplies, clothing etc etc as well as a good selection of quality new and used rifles and shotguns.I was told that if they didn't have a particular item in stock they could get it ordered.

The staff, Dan and Will if I remember right (I'm terrible with names!), were very helpful, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about shooting and although I hadn't been before I was made to feel welcome from the word go.

As I said I was very impressed and I think I've found my "go to" shop, for anyone in the East of Shropshire/West of Staffordshire or further afield it's worth a visit.....I shall definitely be going again!
