rich_morris Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi All, I am planning going to the shooting show this weekend. Maybe to see if I can find a shotgun for my son. Am I likely to find any bargains/discounts? If so which is the better day to go. Saturday or Sunday. If originally planned for Sunday.

Rich In my opinion, depending on what it costs you to get there, plus entry fee, you may be better off visiting your local RFD. I didn't find any 'bargains' apart from high end priced shotguns/rifles. A good place to visit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy91 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 In 2 years I can't remember seeing anything and thinking 'wow I have to have that at that price'. Steve summed it up pretty well, what exactly are you looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taileron Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 We arrived at 09.10 yesterday, none of us were looking to buy guns. Having looked around the show most of the dealers had “sale” signs up, upon closer inspection the “sale” prices were RRP. I could not see any guns in my price range 0-3k that were bargains and a lot of the 2nd hand guns were battered but that’s not to say the mid to high end guns were not cheaper, I just don’t really know the prices as I can’t afford them. One of us did manage to drop onto an XLR5 velocity in good nick for £695, which is about £300 cheaper than any on gun trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_morris Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Well, we are going anyway, so we will see what there is. We'll go tomorrow. If there are no bargains, well leave without spending. Only looking for something around £500 mark. Not high end! Thanks Rich 2 hours ago, Farmboy91 said: In 2 years I can't remember seeing anything and thinking 'wow I have to have that at that price'.
