Any Good RFD's in the Cotswolds?

I'm off to the Cotswolds tomorrow for a few days shooting and general relaxing, and will be staying in Fairford. Whenever in a different area I always like to try have a look at the local RFD's.

 

Searching google there seems to be quite a few RFD's popping up for Gloucestershire in general, some look well established / others don't but some great old school RFD's i've been to aren't geared up online as it's all word of mouth and good service and have better stock sometimes than RFD's that look great online. Anybody live in the area and can advice on one of the best to visit whilst in the general vicinity?

 

Ideally i'll probably go and have a look at a couple of RFD's and may treat myself to a pump/semi so don't want to waste my time and effort travelling to an RFD that most people in the know would avoid for instance.

 

Any suggestions much appreciated :good:

Closest to you in Cirencester and quite friendly is: http://cotswoldshooting.co.uk/Guns-for-Sale.html

 

I've never visited this one in Swindon but they are well thought of: http://www.wiltsrodguns.com/

 

Depends how far you feel like traveling. Ian Coley near Cheltenham has a huge selection as well as parking and their own shooting ground to try used guns before you buy. About 25 miles from Fairford.

there are a good number around, but i drive for over an hour to dauntsey guns as they are the only one that has always had what i want, very friendly and will not sell you something you dont want just because its on their shelf. if they havent got an item they will tell you straight that they dont have it. up to you to then ask them for suggestions. thats how i like it.

Cotswolds shooting in Cirencester........ just make sure he see's you arriving in a range rover an you’ll be fine, arrive in anything less and he often cant be bothered to talk to you!!

True. A difficult man to deal with.

Thanks all! A days shooting today and will be doing a little driving Tommorow and see where end up.!

 

Sounds like Coleys & Francis Lovel & Co will work with plans the best however will try and find an excuse to visit other areas to pull in some of the other aforementioned RFD's. Thanks for the suggestions all!
