fenboy Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 They have a decent enough reputation , the guns are a fairly good price but unfortunately this means px price is not the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastlincs Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I bought a air rifle there and I'm going to buy my 1st shotgun from there. P/x prices are about the same as you would expect from any decent gun shop. But new guns you will struggle to find a shop selling them cheaper.

Gordon R Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 One of the straightest shops I have ever dealt with. I trust them - which I would not say for many shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbrian Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I'd recommend them - good value, from what I can see and to go by what I have purchased on one occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastlincs Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 People say its a expensive shop, it's not he just sells more top end stuff that's why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeker Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 One of the straightest shops I have ever dealt with. I trust them - which I would not say for many shops. Completely agree with this comment .... I have bought from, and sold several guns thro them. Always found his prices very reasonable for the quality. Also seemed to be choosy over the guns he took as commission sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenlander Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 went there once to buy a new Maxus,came away without one,the bloke was a complete **** ,I still regret the wasted time and fuel. People had told me he gives very poor price on a px,and I ended up getting £250 more from another gun shop,for the Teknys I was part exchanging.

xav Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 2 years ago, I was after a second hand Browning Waterfowl. Derek Lee had the cheapest in the UK so I travelled from the Wirral ! Great service, good advice and lots of choice. I also got a good part exchange for my Escort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I bought my Benelli there, was a very pleasant and painless experience. No, he doesn't usually give cash discounts/high trade in, that is because his guns are usually very good prices in the first place - I got the Benelli at over three hundred quid cheaper than anywhere else I could find in the UK at the time. And to echo one of the other posters, he doesn't have many 'cheap and cheerful' guns, because there is not the usual rusty and scratched old things that some shops seem to fill their shelves with, nearly every gun is in excellent condition. If you are looking for a cheaper, more 'used' gun, MGR in Woodhall Spa, about five miles away, has a fair selection and also seems a nice guy - although when I last went there about 18 months ago, the sight of a fairly new Cynergy Black Ice with home drilled 'porting' (NOT done by him) at the end of the barrels almost made me weep. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewisbeechey Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Bought a lovely Lanber Sporting Deluxe from him (travelled all the way from Leicestershire as his prices and the guns wood were the nicest I could find) and found it a very pleasant experience for my first shotgun purchase. Very happy to of done business with them and would use again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I find that if your not a 'Tweedy' they tend to look down on you a little in Derek Lee's and charging £10 for a diving bottle fill is a rip off! I go to Mgr's at Woodhall for most of my shooting related kit whether its shotgun, air rifle or rimmy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastlincs Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) £10 a fill is a bit expensive, maybe thats his way of syaing he doesnt want to do it lol? but his gun prices are fair from What I've seen on his site Edited August 5, 2012 by joss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 £10 a fill is a bit expensive, maybe thats his way of syaing he doesnt want to do it lol? but his gun prices are fair from What I've seen on his site I filled my 12l dive bottle for the first time and was charged £5 the next time i went i was served by a different person and charged a tenner (two months later) the bottle was empty both times. That said i do still buy my .17hmr ammo from there as its well priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
