    Have never bought a gun from him, but bought pretty much everything off him over the years.

    He is a decent bloke to deal with, but is on the more expensive side of things compared to other dealers. After saying that he is also on a par with other dealers so it's really a matter of perspective.

    He has a huge selection of guns, especially .223 at the moment, but also carries a good selection of high end firearms especially the "designer" shotguns such as DT10's, top end Perazzi's, etc.

    He does a large selection, larger than i've seen elsewhere, of Swar. scopes/bins/spotting scopes, and always seems to have gear that others find to expensive to carry including a great selection of knives including cold steel.

    All in all it's a good shop. My only hesitation would be the prices, but if i had money to spare/burn then there are a few things he has that i would like.

    I'd echo Ezridax's comments.

    Have bought a good few guns from James and wouldn't hesitate to go back. Has always had a great selection of firearms when I've wanted something. Can be pricey on some items.

    Yes I second the above comments, he has a great selection but pricey.

    I like buying from James cause he has best brands and he doesn't sell. I bought my first rifle of him but he's way too expensive for ammunition but best for everything else.

    I got my first rifle off him a few years ago, I found him sound, I had visited nearly every dealer in the west before I bought!!

    Good guy to deal with and as others have said he has a great selection.

    Can be expensive yes but don't be afraid to haggle with him!
