Mungler Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Does anyone know of a good gunshop in Essex where you can try before you buy (shotgun)? Ideally I suppose I am looking for a gunshop next door to a clay pigeon ground that doesn't have daft opening times or shooting restrictions? Cheers all.

Catamong Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Mungler, Carry on up the A12 to John Bidwell's ground at High Lodge in Suffolk. If you are after a quality gun, then he is well worth a visit, phone to book a time to see him, he will sort you out as he has forgotten more about shotgun shooting than most people will ever know.

Mungler Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Thanks very much for that. I have money burning a hole in my pocket and am looking for a OU 20 bore and a 3 shot semi (fancied a Berelli comfort). I thought I was at being about a week away from getting my certificate but the FAC told me today that I am now looking at 6 - 8 weeks for it to drop on the door mat. I suppose it will give me time to do a bit more research. In the meantime I have already bought a second hand silver pigeon which is currently languishing in Leech & Sons gun shop.
