Welcome to the ShootingUK gear section, your comprehensive guide to shooting equipment reviews, hunting gear tests, and those “5 best” listicles that definitely won’t enable any impulse purchases. Our shooting gear reviews cover rifles, shotguns, air rifles, optics, clothing, and all the kit that somehow becomes essential once you’ve read about it.
Discover honest rifle scope reviews, shotgun cartridge tests, shooting jacket comparisons, and gundog equipment guides. We announce new product launches, test shooting accessories in actual field conditions, and create those dangerous “best of” roundups for shooting boots, gun slips, rangefinders, and bipods.
Whether you’re researching shooting clothing, comparing gun safe options, evaluating scope mounts, or just browsing shooting gear you don’t strictly need yet, our equipment reviews come from shooters who’ve actually used the stuff. From budget-friendly shooting kit to premium firearms and optics, we test, compare, and occasionally save you from expensive mistakes. Your bank account may not thank us.
