B725 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 All the time as its only 4 miles away, I buy almost all my shooting stuff from them. I have only ever had top service from them and I've been well looked after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyshooter Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 I have been a few times for cartridges and a shotgun repair. They are an excellent gun shop and well worth supporting with your business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Thanks for the replies all; mate has seen something he fancies, and spoke to someone on the phone, whom he says seemed a canny enough bloke. They have reached something of a verbal agreement, and it's over three hours away for us, so just wanted to check he's as genuine as he sounds. Many thanks again. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sako7mm Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 They are actually even more genuine than they sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akey Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Great shop, its my local (as I live in the town ). If you are down this way and travelling so far, its worth a trip to one of the local clay grounds, Nottingham and District Gun Club is about 25 min away as is Cockett Farm. Mr Neville also has a ground near Matlock (about 10-15 min away). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Having visited Neville's and the Countryman, there is only one winner. Neville's is a top flight shop, with excellent stock and decent trade-ins. Neville's is second only to Malmo in the best gun shops around.

Walker570 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Do they stock reloading supplies ....powder/shot in particular ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsalmons Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I'm up the road too - planning a visit tomorrow to talk about when he'll be getting his hands on the 2020 browning 725 models! Fingers crossed on the 'decent' part-ex valuations...... Another thumbs up on Cockett Farm - if you're passing buy a slab of their own carts.

Fuddster Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 I bought a 725 pro trap hi rib from them last november. decent px on my trap gun. for me it was a 90 minute drive although there were many nearer rfd's closer. basically its a two room,old style, gun shop. I paid the balance and upon leaving was personally thanked for my custom. for me it was well worth the 3 hour round trip for that service. f.

Marccus Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Top quality service from these guys. The first time I went I was asked if I needed assistance when I replied I was just looking......the next question was "a cup of tea then?". I have made a few purchases from Nevilles and will always return. The countryman is worth a look while you're down this way but for service and a natter Nevilles are streets ahead in my opinion.

gsalmons Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Popped in, and fingers crossed they'll be able to source a forend for my 725. Great service and had a good chat. If only the bank balance / missus would allow more £ as they have some beauties in the shop..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Never been offered a cup of tea in 40 year's of going there, I must point it out next time I go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
