Anywhere in Sussex that allows you to test a shotgun before you buy?

Hi,

 

I'm mid-way through the process of gaining my SGC.

 

As per the above, are there any grounds with attached shops etc that with demo guns?

 

I'm looking at the Silver Pigeon, Browning 525, 725 or Miroku for first gun

Being in the West Country I've no idea sorry.

 

But a starting point may be to google "UK Guntrader dealer search" the website then offers select "county" and you get choice of East or West Sussex - you can even search nearest (by selected miles) to your postcode. You can then start a ring around and if your first victim doesn't offer a try before you buy you can ask him/her whether they know anyone who does.

 

Just a thought. Good luck.

Ah Yes. They've just had a refit, and have just opened up a new showroom. I'd thought of them, but when i looked before it was being refurbed.

 

I've dropped them a note on facebook

They are up and running now, rakers used to run the gunshop but didn't perform as Southdown wanted so they took it on themselves.

Was there Thursday and they were open.

Had to abandon my attempt to go up there today. The road ( swiss cheese holes with a bit of gravel ) was just not conducive to my car. I'll have to nab the missus's 4x4 on the next attempt
