    As far as i would be concerned the only ones i've been in worth mentioning are griffin hawe athy, stakelums in urlingford and shooting 'fishin in waterford.

    All three have been very friendly and helpful great advice and well priced. Wouldnt take my business anywhere else

    What did you buy? and how much? if ya don't mind me askin?:)

    I ordered A B525 30inch Advanced last saturday in Griffiths and they said it would be in stock in a couple of weeks, some quick paperwork adjustments/ hand in my Lanber and my Semi won't see daylight for a week or two.

    I'd have to agree with you Psitta, regarding Griffiths&Hawe and Stakelums.

    Is that place in waterford worth a visit? I plan to buy new optics and will be pricing around.

    Nice piece of kit, very solid and reliable. Good luck with it.

    Hez i've bought one rifle off him before and another just a while ago waiting for the license to come through but he's a top bloke let me in to the gun room no problem to look around good for a chat as well and knows his stuff.

    Was looking for a brno as opposed to a CZ and the man knew exaclty what i was talking about when i rang him up no fuss told me he had one and would hold it till i got there there the next day exaclty what he said bought it and gave me it for way less than i would have paid for it.

    Def worth a look in and he's in the process of a new range in mullinavat currently caters for full clay shoot he's moving the shop up there and will have a rifle range not sure if the range is finished but its cleared.
