Because I never realised there were so many guns that I "must have" for my collection. Happily to then discover that by fortunate coincidence the Oxford Gun Company may have that very make, model and variant in stock! Callooh! Callay! Oh frabjous day! Which, Lewis Carroll, I find myself bringing to mind as the lad does remind me somewhat in appearance and manner of one of either Tweedledum or Tweedledee. But, as Alice, I look from one to the other and can never decide... Edited February 18 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallguy Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 Well I have bought cartridges from there in the past (and shot there) many times without a problem. Will no doubt shoot with them again in the very near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, it was a very long time ago, A PCP pump i bought as new was a throw back from the manufactures, an Air rifle that seized up , that was 4 wasted journeys, and there was a lady serving who constantly kept bragging on her clay shooting but most likely retired now, it may be ideal if your located near the M40 or Oxford, i do not shoot clays so cannot comment on this aspect of this Company, Edited February 25 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 The Bin End prices are more of a realistic proposition and bear comparison with driving a distance to collect shells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HantsRob Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I find it amusing that guns and cartridges are 2 constants in a gun shop that are never on sale. There may be a bargain every now and then with stock passing through, but you never get a 25% discount code! I guess there is such a demand they really never need to.

There is not a 25% margin in the first place, in many cases it is around 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, that's not how retail works in major mults for example. I appreciate the retailer is probably only making 10-15% in the shell industry. A manufacturer will often discount a product as long as the retailer passes that on. Or, will offer a refund or credit note against products sold at a discounted rate. I am just saying that doesn't happen in the gun industry by and large, as opposed to FMCG for example. Edited March 2 by HantsRob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 This may well not be the latest news as I've not been paying too much attention - unless there's a truly miraculous increase in pigeon numbers locally, I have no need to buy any more cartridges. However, it is good to see the number of 6&1/2 shot loads which are available as opposed to previously. There's one glaring omission in the case of Express but suspect that may just be a printing error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to use the eley pigeon back in the day that were 6&1/2 and brilliant but can’t say I’ve noticed many others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can filter by shot size. For your convenience I was there anyway: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 Hello, There is also a chart on shot sizes as some made abroad are bigger than what we term 7.5s ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
