PLH1966 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Over the years I've spent a few quid in Churchills but after today's performance, never again. A couple of weeks ago I was passing through & asked about a some replacement woodwork for my Remmington, the young lad said that they have a few knocking about from broken guns & he'd have a look round. Long story short, I'm back in today & sure enough he rocks up with said timber, a bit chipped & dented, no butt plate, but with a bit of time could be made to look good again. How much do you think that Bell end Steve wanted to charge me? £50 - 60? not a hope ......................£200! I told him he was taking the ****, I paid less than that for the gun, greedy ********, well my lad's in the market for a new gun, so it's off to see Phillip Webster.

RobC1990 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I didn't even walk into his stand - his guns are over priced just a cock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Another dissatisfied customer of Churchills. Years ago they offered me a pittance for my gun in a p/x on a new gun. I declined the offer but bought the new gun. The arrogance of the owner is astounding and i'm not surprised at the negative posts about him. His cartridge prices are steep to say the least, too.

Will Poon Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I've briefly read through this topic, it still amazes me how some business owners conduct business especially a niche market like shooting, where bad word travels fast . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: Went over to Phillip's last week, after spending 45 minutes with us, my lad now has a new over / under, lovely mint condition Baikel for £165.00. Whilst I was there I asked him for a price on my replacement Remmington woodwork & guess what £50 for a pair ! Churchills, you have finally**** your pot full as far as we are concerned.

Pinkfeet Pete Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Bought a gun from them once, never again. Faulty. Took it back. Rude and unhelpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbust Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 These people don't deserve to be trading, but I fear they are getting the custom of the local in the money lot. Otherwise they would be out of business very quickly. After my experience the only thing I would take away from my time spent in the shop is never to return.

Paddy Galore! Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I like them but i am a bit of a masochist. i find it helps sometimes if i look down my nose at steve or that other young (ish) lad long enough they start to feel inferior and subservient.

I've shot the Airgun mornings & Steve is a top bloke, but you cannot escape the fact that so many people have so had so many bad experiences.
