PUSC Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi all, Not sure if this is the right area, but I was wondering where would people look for second hand rifles, other than Gtrader and Gunwatch^ Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PUSC Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 what search queries are you using? I tend to come up with the same shops repeatedly (suppose they're the ones investing in SEO) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Guntrader is useful, Gunstar is impossible to navigate, you cannot look for specific models or barrel lengths for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malik Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Gunstar has a selection of pretty much everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catweazle Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thestalkingdirectory has a few for sale, mostly sporting types. I just bought one there and the guy was an absolute pleasure to deal with, top fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmie Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Gun trader is a good one, bought a few rifles off there. Can get some bargains if your quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUSC Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I think to start with I would like a .17hmr rig. So a cz with a 16" barrel and £400 approx is budget. Although if someone has a Anschutz 1517 set up for a sensible price I'd consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Top shooting forums like this one and Stalking Directory. You can easily check up a member's history and get a pretty good idea whether they're genuine. I bought my current .308 from a member on SD. An absolutely mint m595. I almost didn't PM him. It was nearly a fortnight since he'd posted it for sale and I thought there's no way that rifle won't have gone. But it hadn't. The guy was an absolute gent and I got myself a superb rifle which any RFD would bite my arm off for. Keep your eyes peeled and as Fister says post a wanted ad.

I've sold and purchased some cracking rifles on the stalking directory...17hmr still in its box, un-fired £200 was my best find....they don't suffer fools on that site...all the story tellers get banned, if you make stupid comments your banned...serious shooters only.

al4x Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 The stalking directory is well worth a look generally the gear that crops up is pretty good and few on there have much work for a hmr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
