During June we will be taking delivery of Yildiz Shotguns to meet the demands of the shooter looking for a high quality, reliable and sensibly priced small bore shotgun.

 

Initially we will be stocking the Elegant A4 model in .410g. This is a traditional style side by side with 28” barrels, 3” chambers, Anson & Deeley Boxlock action, top lever opening and a Single Selective Trigger. This gun received and excellent review by Jason Harris in Sporting Gun Magazine. This gun has the option of a 3.5cm shorter stock for young shots. Great value at just £440.

 

The Yildiz SPZME will be stocked in 12g and 20g, this is a traditional Over and Under. We will have this available as a multi choked, single trigger ejector in 12 and 20 bore for £499.

 

We will also be stocking the 20 Bore Yildiz Elegant A5ME which is a lovely little side by side with Pistol Grip stock, Single Selective Trigger, Ejector and Multichokes – a awful lot of gun for just £499

 

As we extend the Yildiz range other options will include a fixed choke 20g ejector at £470 and a non-ejector 20g at just £399. The latter gun should prove to be an excellent entry level gun for a young shot.

 

To top of our range it is our intention to stock the 12g Over and Under “Special L” model which comes with a high grade stock and exquisitely engraved side plates.

 

 

We have just taken delivery of our first batch of Bettinsoli Shotguns and have available the Bettinsoli Diamond X MKlll in 20 Bore and the Bettinsoli Silver Diamond. The Bettinsoli has have excellent reviews in the shooting press and is regarded as one of the “Best Buys” and offers exceptional value for money at just over £600. All Bettinsoli Shotguns come cased with 5 multi chokes and profilo system recoil pads. They are proofed at 3” for Steel Shot and have the usual features of ejectors, vented top and centre rib. The quality of wood and overall finish is exceptional on the Bettinsoli and well above that expected of a gun in this price bracket.
