Shotguns: expert reviews, buying guides and advice for every shooter
Few purchases matter more to a shooter than the gun in their hands. Sporting Gun’s shotgun section delivers independent reviews, detailed buying guides and practical advice to help you find the right gun for your shooting – whatever your discipline, budget or experience level.
Our team of experienced shots and reviewers covers the full spectrum of shotguns available to UK buyers: classic side-by-sides, versatile over-and-unders, semi-automatics and pump actions from the world’s leading manufacturers. Whether you’re investing in your first gun or considering a significant upgrade, we assess handling, balance, fit, reliability and value to give you a verdict you can trust.
We also cover maintenance, storage, customisation and the gunsmithing services that keep your gun performing season after season. Brands reviewed include Beretta, Browning, Caesar Guerini, Perazzi, Miroku, Rizzini and beyond.
