Any good gun shops in Cornwall ?

Heading off down to st Ives for a few days this week and just wondered if there were any good gun shops worth a visit (mostly looking for reloading stuff), I will be travelling via the A30 from Exeter, so if there's anything enroute?

Primer,
There is Sportsman Gun Centre just outside Exeter on M5, there is Helston Gunsmiths, guess where - Helston! Then we have Prestige Firearms run by John Williams near Wendron, nr Helston.
I seem to recall there is an optics company in Paignton that MAY deal in reloading bits. He used to be a partner in Sportsmans when they were in Paignton. Deals mainly in scopes but check via Google search.
I have to admit I save a my shopping list for the Imperial or Phoenix meetings. We don't have a lot of RFDs here.
Let me know if you want any more details and I'll PM you.
Enjoy Cornwall. It should be a bit quieter now all the emmets have gone - Oh sorry!!!!!

For reloading stuff Cornwall is pretty poor. You might get a good deal on some components but its a bit hit and miss, as far as equipment goes most only hold stocks of junk.

Cornwall :roll:
A strange far-off place inhabited by weird people who can barely speak English. Crap roads and infrastructure. Would probably benefit from being even further-off than it is now.
Pasties and apple juice are okay if that's your thing but I wouldn't hold my breath for anything like reloading equipment.
Oh yeah ... and for goodness sake, don't try stuffing your car through one of their 'hedges'

Oh dear Mezzer. Sorry you don't like God's Country.
We too would like to be further away from you lot.
Anyway, one less emmet
