Hastings Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Alright, need your help with recommendations on gun shops. Can anyone recommend a decent gun shop in Berkshire (or close to Berkshire)? Looking for somewhere with a decent selection of second hand shotguns. Searching on the Internet isn't bringing up the best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregthegreat Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Where are you exactly? Berkshire's not small. Greg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastings Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sorry, should have mentioned, in Reading. Happy to make a journey though for a good recommendation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevewall968 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Try the Royal Berkshire Shooting School. Nice selection of guns there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) A.E Clarke 55 London Road, Blackwater, Camberley, Surrey, GU17 0AB 01276 35616 K C Sports 24-26 Barkham Road, Wokingham, Berkshire, RG41 2XP 0118 9781712 Royal Berkshire Shooting School Tomb Fm, Ashampstead, Reading, Berkshire, RG8 8SD 01491 672900 Etoncastle 103 High Street, Eton, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 6AF 01753 670170 Woodland Enterprises http://www.woodlandsltd.com/ Sheephouse Shooting, Maidenhead 01628 771446 TFSA Bracknell http://www.tfsa.co.uk/ There is another over Newbury/Hungerford way I seem to recall, gunsmith as well, but I've forgotten their name. Thomas Turner in Reading eventually went about 6-8 months ago! If anyone knows of any others I'd be pleased to have a look. Clarkes is just over the border but depends where you are it may be worth a look. Best bet would probably be Royal Berks Shooting school, but they will almost certainly be the most expensive as well!

Gregthegreat Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I'd take a trip to The Oxford Gun Company at Oakley personally and perhaps also up to Witney to visit Adenbourne Field Sports and Francis Lovell. I grew up in Maidenhead, Thomas Turner was my usual port of call then Oxford Gun Co. as I got more into my shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I thought that Adenbournes closed recently. Could be wrong but I seem to remember their website having a closing down sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, they may well have done. I haven't been there for a fair while. Oxford Gun Co. is still going strong, popped there the other week. Great selection of shotguns and great advice.
