Established 1983 · The Cotswolds
A Home Office-registered dealer hand-stocking 4,800 rifles, shotguns, airguns, and Section 5 pieces from sixty premium makers — every order verified against your S/C or FAC, logged in our secure register, and supported by a lifetime gun-fitting service.
Quiet authority, on the record
The Specialist Range
Three aisles that anchor the catalogue — chosen for the licensed shooter who values provenance over price. Each piece is logged against your S/C or FAC by our in-house firearms team before it leaves the counter.
Aisle One — Featured
Bolt-action and semi-automatic centrefires from Blaser, Tikka, Sako, Sauer, Mauser and Steyr — alongside .22LR trainers and precision rimfire platforms. Every rifle arrives with a bench note from one of our three in-house gunsmiths and a complimentary stock-fitting consultation.
Aisle Two
Side-by-sides, over-and-unders, and semi-autos from Beretta, Browning, Zoli, and the English trade. Field-stocked and clay-ready grades both held for immediate FAC variation.
Shop Shotguns
Aisle Three
One of only 62 UK dealers authorised to transact Section 5 firearms and ammunition. Every transfer handled face-to-face, with full Home Office register notation and proof-house liaison.
