robbiep Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 We often hear the brickbats thrown at various RFDs. Here is a plaudit. I own a Bettinsoli Overland EL (left hander) which was purchased privately, second hand. Occasionally, it would fail to fire on the lower chamber. Top always fine, no issues at all. However, the lower would not engage from time to time. Totally random, too. Took it in to Valley Arms on a saturday, spoke to Phil there. In addition to the repair, I also wanted it changing to a non-auto safety, as I do a fair bit of clay shooting. Obviously, couldn't give a quote for the work there and then, so Phil said that if it was looking expensive, he'd ask Jimmy to let me know, so I could decide what to do. On the following thursday, phoned up and was informed it was all done. Cost was £25. Yes, twenty five pounds. Shot with it at LLandegla on sunday, absolutely perfect.

Kes Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 Valley arms is a great shop and really helpful staff - I'm a member of their gun club which is also great and very welcoming - worth a call and they do .223 privvi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay222 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I've always found it pretty good, they let me off the rfd transfer fee on my .223 as I was buying ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.philmypower. Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 May be I've been on bad days, but I've found them unhelpful, can't make a decision and keep you waiting. Never had what I want when I want it, I.e. duck decoys during wildfowling season. But like I said that's just my experience, I know people who like the shop.
