    Sportsman gun centre has a nice website with a good selection, not sure how the prices compare.

    A lot of the Irish dealer web sites will give you the price of both new and second hand guns. You'll just need a rainy afternoon for a trawling session. You'll be surprised at some of the price differences between one Irish dealer and another.

    Same thing with UK dealers.

    Sportsman have a good selection of everything, but are on the slightly expensive side. I use multiple sites including Utting.co.uk for scopes and other European sites. Once i get an average price i know what i'm paying either over or under the odds.

    I give out fro time to time on the prices we pay, but its mostly aimed at what we pay compared to the States, but compared to the UK we are actually cheaper on some things. CZ rimfire rifles are cheaper here than the UK, some scope brands, etc. Compared to Europe we pay far more but that is a combination of two things that i've found. Europe is a bigger market, but also the second hand market here can be artificially high and you'll find the same firearm, scope, gear for much less in Europe than you'll get it here.

    Prices are much better in Uk but allow for the obvious, conversion of € to £ on your card , shipping and they will only send to a RFD so he will want a payment too.
    I found a really cheap new shotgun in the uk but when everything was added up it ended up nearly the same as here.
    Used guns in the uk are much better value than here some of the prices here are ridiculous.

    I was in outdoor depot in tallaght today , and he showed me the book of prices he had. Its from this website here. The prices on the site are about 10-20 euros dearer than in his book.The dealer said that the price thats in the book is the price he sells them at
    so for people looking. these prices should be close to outdoor depot prices
