Gunshop Visit – Range & Country Supplies

Green shoots are emerging apparently, and as a raft of economic indicators begin to point in the right direction, businesses across the land are breathing a collective sigh of relief. New shops opening of any sort, are heartening to see, but when a brand new gun shop suddenly appears, just off the local high street, it has to be cause for celebration. When it’s my high street, I get doubly excited!

Sleaford is a modest sized market town in South Lincolnshire, and with no local gunshop to its name, the opportunity was of course there for the taking. Peter Rose is the man behind this brand new venture, and he’s not only a thoroughly affable sort of chap, but a genuine enthusiast too. His wife Cheryl, runs a jewellers on the high street, and the new gunshop is actually the commercial unit to the back of this premises. A clever move, and with security an existing feature of the jewellers, much of the necessary infrastructure for the new business was already in place.

Passion

Peter’s a qualified electrician, but his retail experience via involvement with his wife’s business will stand him in good stead. Yes he’s new to the gun trade, but a lifetimes passion for shooting in its many forms, gives him a good grounding. That all started from when Peter was 12years old, shooting airguns, and dabbling in target shooting. Rough shooting and clays soon followed, but today, his big passion is Practical Rifle and Practical Shotgun.

All disciplines are catered for too. A good selection of shotguns from top names such as Browning, Beretta, Remington, and many more, sit here, alongside rifles from Sako, Howa, and Anschütz, to name but a few. With airguns becoming increasingly popular, you’ll find models from the likes of Weihrauch, Air Arms, and BSA, as well as all the associated accessories, normally found in a gunshop!

Air pistols are here, lamping kits, and of course a full range of outdoor clothing. In fact, think of a shooting accessory, and the chances are it’s tucked away here somewhere. Peter charges £5 to charge any size air bottle, and undertakes servicing, repairs and general gunsmithing too.

Enthusiasm and good service are the name of the game in any face-to-face operation, and that’s what Range & Country Shooting Supplies aim to deliver.

Customer Service

Peter is keen to stress that whilst the internet is often perceived to be the cheapest route, customers should be pleasantly surprised at his highly competitive prices. Customer service and knowledge are of course the big factors missing with faceless transactions through the ether, and I can’t help but endorse the philosophy that your local shop is a vital link and an invaluable asset to be treasured. On that note, the very best of luck to Peter and his wife for the new venture.
