Benthejockey Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Anyone know if the gun room at Oswestry is open? Tried to call but no answer. I'm over that way but I'm in a rush so if they're not I won't waste the extra 10 minute detour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmicblue Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) The Web site is very much alive https://www.wynnstay.co.uk/wynnstay-gunroom with links to gun listings on GunTrader: https://www.guntrader.uk/dealers/oswestry/wynnstay-oswestry/guns They might just have an aversion to picking the phone up...the world seems to love Email and messaging platforms - sadly.

WalkedUp Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 At least 3 years. They still sell cartridges from the farm shop downstairs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walked up are they reasonably priced ? What brands do they stock ? Mother in law lives not a million miles away so always looking for an excuse To escape! Oak ridge shooting ground good for a couple of hours but can prove expensive as a regular escape ! atb Agriv8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cage is in the back warehouse, I buy the cheapest fibre 6s in 28-32gram I can so never recall brands. Was an ok selection from memory but not worth a special trip.

redial Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Last time I called a lady called Helen appeared in charge in the gun room. I am talking about Wynnstay. Edited January 18, 2022 by redial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about Wynnstay. Helen and Dave went back in the summer. There was a new bloke there when I nipped in July/August who hadn't long started. I still need a box of bigger cartridges incase a fox appears on our final seasonal outing next week but I can probably get side from a closer Wynnstay.

WelshAndy Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Called at my local wynnstay yesterday and asked about the ‘gunroom’ and the lad said it was closed. He said they now buy direct from gamebore etc. I nearly fell over when I paid for the cartridges tho… £90.50 + Vat for a slab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted January 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 By the wonder of Facebook a post appeared yesterday that was a share from a gun shop in Llanyfillin that's now being run or is possibly owned by Helen from Wynnstay. Looks like a smart shop so I'll surely venture over next time I'm over that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
