villaman 9,979 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 My mate said he would like to have a look at the Brocock bantam ,so we phoned all the gun shops in a 100 mile radius of Bournemouth but no shop had them in stock . We decided to travel up to Solware Tamworth about 150 mile , we arrived I thought Christ this is small from the front , but what a shop when we got in there . As soon as we opened the door and walked in we were asked if we would like a coffee and biscuit which we did , then we had a good look round . My mate had a look at the Brocock and decided its not the gun for him , in fact he hated the thing , which I did tell him that would be the case . Next gun which he handled on my recommendation was FX Crown synthetic stock and fell in love with it . So we travelled all that way just to prove I was right on all fronts , just proves I am never wrong We then decided to have a look at Sandwell field sports , well what a disappointing shop ,disappointing experience after visiting Solware and all I read on forums about the shop , yes big with nothing in it ,not many guns Will not be going back that's for sure. 3 1 Quote Link to post

Rimfireboy! 1,463 Posted August 4, 2018 Report Share Posted August 4, 2018 I went in ‘The Airgun Centre’ a couple of years ago. That was surprisingly small. I always imagined it to be a big place. Little shop on a service road, my wife spotted it as we drove past, I hadn’t even noticed it. Still turned back to have a look inside though most stuff up on the wall behind the counter as well. 1 Quote Link to post
