I understand they also do Shot guns any one had any of there kit if so what are your opinions.

Turkish guns are popular at the minute because there’s a plethora appearing to offer what people want at a great price point. Have some good features and have decent finish and in some cases, lovely Turkish walnut on shotguns.

But you get what you pay for. I have seen some horrible internally finished guns and the robustness is not what you’d think. Broken parts are a nightmare to get hold of and residual and resale value is very poor.

This be better off spending money on a decent S/H Tikka…

Alpha, if you just want something cheap that goes bang - check out Fox Firearms - he's got loads of rifles, usually from members who have died. He might even take your Creed in px.

Alpha, you can shoot with my club at Ponteland or indeed Otterburn, it's only up to 300yds but better than 100!

Thanks for the offer but aren't Ponteland and Otterburn MOD ranges if so 6.5Creedmoor and 6.5x55 are not allowed.
To be honest Shooting is not a big thing for me any more I have other hobby,s and stuff that I enjoy. I would quite happily sell all of my firearms if I could get the right price for them.
