    Anyone know of any gun stores in Edinburgh City?
    I think there maybe one on george street.
    Am heading over there on business for a day or two
    so will have a few hours to walk around the city.

    Was hoping to buy some 30mm Mounts for my Nikko scope
    for a CZ. (Since the local store does not have any)
    (Not that my licence has arrived yet or anything still
    waiting since the 15th Jan)

    Soundist thanks.

    will give them a Look when I get some time to myself.
    My Boss will be off playing golf so that will leave me do a bit of wandering
    by myself.

    Bullets,

    Definitely take the time to visit Dickson & MacNaughton, one of Scotland's premier gun makers since about 1810, I believe. An experience to remember.

    Just back from Scotland a few minutes ago, did not see the extra
    replies until now.

    I only made it to John Dickson and Son. Small and Posh.
    Feck all gun accesserys, plenty of shotguns and 4-5 rifles.


    CRAZY CRAZY prices.

    Leather slip cases were 2-250 UKP!!!!!
    The (few rifles) Looked 2nd Hand with marks/scuffed stocks.
    There was a CZ 452 .22 for around 350 UKP
    Marlin .22 for roughly 200UKP

    Shotguns were 5000-6000 UKP.
    American Tourists were in viewing and disscussing
    a deal with some Brown Barrelled shotgun.
