Gordon R Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Fausti Stefano - they seem a lot of gun for the money. Only handled the one, but wood to metal fit was excellent. Hard to tell what many guns are like until you take the stock off and see the quality of the trigger / cocking / hammer mechanisms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwizard Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) I,m tempted to go and have a look but don,t think they do a try it out option/facility and once I look if they are as good looking as the photo,s will end up buying , My mate is selling his Berreta 686 or so he,s been telling me for past six months ,evertime i ask him to view and try it he makes an excuse so getting bit peeved about asking now !

Shop is new, treetops now under new ownership and new owners have extended the lodge and opened a shop wasn't much there last time I visited (some time ago). There is a FT air rifle course and zeroing range there was talk of more but not sure what's happened recently my personal opinion is could be better and was with the previous post litts management.

OvEr_KiLL Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) get a gun which fits you mate! go and handle a few and see what you think...theres loads to choose from with a budget like that Edited April 3, 2013 by OvEr_KiLL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 probably, £25 from them and £25 for your local Worth asking I recon they would probably send one on "approval" and there are cheaper RFD's. If you're only going to look local you will be limited quite severely we don't have a lot of big dealers in the area.... Avalon in somerset are worth a look not too far away.
