gun shops

[davyt63 1,845]

hi evey one

i rang around for a scope to buy last week,but could not find a local shop who had one.or who was in my price range!

i rang wiltshire rob & run who were to dear!

i rang country pursuits who didnt pick up!

i rang the gun center who to be honest is hardly ever open!

as a couple of my friends on here will vouch! for

 

then i decided to go further a field about 20 miles which only took me about 25 minutes to get there

and it was this place

 

http://www.glosguncompany.co.uk/

 

i rang Alistair the night before, and he had what i wanted. and i got it for the price i wanted to pay

 

 

 

 

well what can i say about this man,he was a very nice person! made me and chaz fell welcome,although he was still feeling under the weather from a virus.he still had the time for a chat and advise he answered all our questions and had a bit of banter! with him .

he will be getting more of our custom me tinks!

just thought i would share this with you guys in case you ever in the area or need any thing or advise! give him a try!

 

regards

Davy I completely agree with you and your comments. As you know I have recently experienced a pretty awful experience with 'a local' gun shop and definately won't be recommending or buying from there again unless I can help it!

 

Due to this I have been looking around at the local gun shops and too have drawn the conclusion that http://www.glosguncompany.co.uk/ is pretty much the best around, although I haven't yet shopped from there.

 

A couple of other things to mention is that they have an on-site gun smith and something I thought quite nice; they have taken the time to post vids on youtube covering various subjects like setting up night vision sopes etc.

 

I for one will definately be taking my business there in future. Good thread, it will be interesting on others views.

If you treat people with the respect that you expect yourself it certainly pays dividends in the long run

 

I was stung by decoying.co.uk once but never again

Exactly as it should be, offer a service you'd be happy to receive yourself and you shouldn't go far wrong.

 

As for Decoying UK ................ :censored:

 

Decent shops will survive the downturn, and those that don't seem to give a poo will be gone, just as they deserve.

I use BAR in Blackpool top service everytime. I've had two scopes one a BSA essential that fogged up - replaced straight away with a Hawk nighteater for an extra £20 and the Hawke night eater for some reason stopped zeroing in the elevation took it back, left the gun setup with them for two days went to pick it up...... brand new scope on it That's a great service in my eyes plus they order the stuff I want if they don't have it in stock

Sorted for the summer's shooting now then Davy? Did he have any of the MTC Taipan's in stock??Quite like the look of them...going to have to travel meself to Northallerton to get a look at one tho .

 

How good to you rate the glass on the Viper at full mag Davy??I would like to put a Nikon Monarch on top of the HMR but i don't have the £££ as i need a rangefinder & other bits & bobs before i can get out with it....oh & the price of the rounds...

They deserve it mate, they dont have a website as far as I know, all new custom is obtained by word of mouth, and if you want advise on something, they will give good advise, they're not interested in selling you something at any cost, they want you to be happy with your new purchase so you'll go back to buy something else, and they're open until 8 in the evening, 7 days a week
