Duckandswing Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I also get mine from WH smiths. Most supermarkets don't stock it. Comes out once a month, at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Just buy half a dozen copies from Fleabay and read them over and over-never anything new or really worth reading-same old tosh every issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaunda Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Same really with all the current magazines,and they have just brought out yet another !.Same old publishers and reviewers,90% adverts (which I suppose goes to show the strength of the industry and the public's willingness to buy),very few good articles nowadays.Just look at Shooting Times,hardly anything there nowadays,the crossword takes up most of my time.

button Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 What's the new magazine? Maybe iShoot? Have to say not a bad read. The only magazine I think is worth reading now is Fieldsports, plenty of good features and not too many adverts! I did once have a subscription through Blaze for the Double Gun Journal from the US, which really was fantastic and if you like classic guns and see a copy on ebay get it, helps pass the winter evenings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't been up there for awhile, and was going on what I saw there last. All my magazines are by direct debit, which save me a few £'s a year.

Old Boggy Posted August 13, 2015 Report Share Posted August 13, 2015 It is noted that the articles by David Baker are conspicuous by their absence in the latest edition. His articles were always of great interest, him being a very knowledgeable authority on the history of gun making as his excellent books on the subject confirm. I also understand that Sporting Gun gave him an ultimatum of 'Take a 40% cut for his articles or cease to write for them'. He chose the latter option considering their offer to be an insult. Cannot say I blame him. How many other writers for SG will go the same way, I wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
