ChrisO Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 I am in the process of applying for my first SGC, currently being held up by my massively over worked GP (despite the surgery being shut, for all but the most serious of emergencies, who are then told to go to A&E anyway). But assuming he finds fifteen minutes to tick and sign my boxes, and enjoys his £ 35 fee, I’ll be good to submit my application and wait at the mercy of GMP. In many months from now, I’ll be in the market for a gun. I’m leaning towards a B525, I’ve handled one with a trap forend which suited my huge hands, it felt as “right” as it could to a total novice. However, the whole point of this ramble is, I’d like to shoot one before I invest £ 1600 only to find it’s not for me. So to avoid that scenario, I’d very much appreciate if any of you seasoned shooters could point me in the direction of a shop, with TBYB facilities in the NW. I’m in Oldham, but would travel, within reason, around Lancs, Yorks and Cheshire. Thanks in advance chaps ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a super generous offer. A pal of mine keeps inviting me over there, he has a Beretta sp he’s offered to let me try. But your offer would make the trip over with him even more worthwhile. Is it ok to pm you if and when I can arrange a day out with my mate and see if we can meet up for a try ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
