Hastings Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hi, Hoping someone can help me find a gun shop that stocks a range of shotguns under £500 (if such a thing exists). I'd like to buy one with help on fitting, rather than taking a punt on gun trader and then having the stock altered. Happy to travel across the Berkshire, Hampshire, Bucks or Oxfordshire. Any help would be appreciate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twistedsanity Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Park Street guns in St Albans dont have the facility to fire them but they are extremely knowledgable and have a room upstairs full of guns starting from under £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 Why not visit as many dealers as you can and get a feel for which Guns you like and fit you (any Dealer should be able to assist you - go during the week when they are quiet) then you will have a better idea of what you are after. Guns around the £700 mark at a dealer should just about fall into your reach if you buy privately and mass produced guns, if you buy exactly the same model, do not vary much in stock dimensions.

Hastings Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Really great advice, thank you.
