Had a good experience with a gun shop or rifle maker? Found a good deal? Tell us about it. Had a bad experience, TELL THE GUN SHOP!

Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Sad news, Wilson & Wilson Fieldsports

#1 Post by Sim G »

Have been told by club sec, that Peter Wilson, of Wilson & Wilson Fieldsports, has unfortunately died, and reportedly, due to Covid.

Anyone who had been to Peter’s shop couldn’t help to be amazed at how much stock he managed to fit in there! Or indeed, the sheer breadth of what he held! Likewise, many a visitor couldn’t believe how bloody grumpy he could be! But, for safari rifles, in particular doubles, there was probably no place better. And back in the pistol days, more Smith & Wesson’s than NYPD!!

Will be sadly missed by all shooters in Kent and across the World.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Sad news indeed, a very interesting man if you caught him on a good day and he was in the mood to talk. He’d decided that he was going to grow a vin yard and produce sparkling wine , last time we spoke he’d had a good few acres planted and was hoping to have his first bottles ready in 7-10 years.

That's planning for the future all right. If you are over 60 covid is a serious risk, and even under it can last for a very long time.
Careful now/that sort of thing
