The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Excellent service from Tim and his family, helped me out on Saturday and happy to order something for me that they don't have in stock at no extra cost.

Best use of an old pub yet.

Yes, McAvoy have always given me a good deal on trade-ins etc, and they carry a decent range of old and new airguns/rifles/ shotguns etc. Their prices aren't exorbitant, either.

I saw them take a large chunk of time explaining different rifles and calibres to a new shooter who was in there seeing what was available for when he finally got his FAC. They were very good with him from what I saw.

Bought my last rifle there, good service

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

Surely it would make sense to comment further? If you feel that the service is lacking, it would be in everyone's interests to explain so people can form a balanced view before choosing to purchase from there.

that is not what the forum rules dictate....

If you scroll up to the very top of this page and have a look at the "Scotsgun ruling" you'll see the forum rules on this sort of comment.

I've had nothing but good service from the staff at McAvoys.
They can be a bit 'chatty' at times with newcomers to the shooting world and this may entail a short delay but if the advice given saves someone a bit of cash / grief ... then it's worth the wait. Remember also that this is the North West where people actually have time for each other
Anyway, there's plenty of kit in the shop to look at while you are waiting.

I have only ever used them for reloading bits either online or over the phone, good people to work with but sadly dont sell pink guns
