Gordon R Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 As you say - each to his own. I have been a few times and found them disorganised. Service seemed to depend on which day of the week you found them. Malmo, Bamfords, Derek Lee, Jim Neville, McAvoys - just a few better shops that spring to mind.

I would disagree with Bamfords - when I have made the trip I have always found them disorganized, arrogant and unhelpful if you are not a regular, almost to the extent of Cheshire Gun room!

Thanks for the input guys I have dealt with them all over the years ( apart from swilling tons, and as mentioned they were polite and took my query seriously)and have had no problems, the only one that I walked in once and told him to buzzer the door for me ,so that I could get out was " the shooting shack" in Bolton , but he got what was coming to him ( not off me!!!) We all have our own personal opinions of RFDs but Swillingtons have what I need , the above mentioned can get it me in a week or two, but you know how we all are, WE WANT IT NOW ,haha Atb Flynny Edited February 6, 2015 by flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 It's my local shop i have bought everything from Whistles to rifles to boots from them and ammo in between. They will deal if they can and service is normally good. I also recommend Brown Trout in Harrogate, an excellent shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Got my X LOCK mounts for my xbolt rifle off them as they were the only stockists at the time. Must admit their service was polite and fast. Defo do business with them again. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
