What a Terrible company to contact rang…

What a Terrible company to contact rang 69 times over 3 days, just go's on to answer machine, if you can't contact them for a sales question what chance have you got to discuss a problem with a purchase.
Very poor and would never think of purchasing anything from them .

Highly recommended air rifle dealer

Having never purchased an air rifle online / over the phone understandably I was apprehensive to say the least. Having owned several fx impacts I knew what I was looking for. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and honest in his selling. Taking his advice on the stock available I purchased a used but new condition impact. Tried it out today and its very good. I'll definitely be looking here again for any future purchases. Highly recommended.

What a brilliant company to buy from I…

What a brilliant company to buy from I had a problem with my first delivery but that was my choice. So the guys quickly sorted it for me and I got it all couple of days later. The gun is excellent for a second hand one and the kit they put together for me was top notch can't thank the enough

Lee and Sean do there very best

Lee and Sean do there very best
the shop can very busy at times (which means they can’t answer the phones)
that is understandable
I personally trust these guys
as had an issue with a new Urugan 2
this was dealt with professionally
and i was kept up to date by Lee
so overall spot on

Poor service

I travelled 150 miles to pickup a used rifle advertised on the shop website, when I arrived the gun could not be found, after a while they realised it had been sold four days earlier but still advised for sale, if you earn your living with this equipment don’t waste your time, not professional!!

Blackpool Airguns - Excellent.

Blackpool Airguns is one of the few gun shops that actually specialize in Air rifles. Its refreshing to speak to the owners who actually use the products they sell and know the guns inside out. This year i have purchased 3 rifles from them, Prosport, Webley Tracker, FX Ghost and they have all be perfect. They even held the FX Ghost with a small deposit until the end of the month. Genuine shop that is geared towards the Airgun enthusiast. Because they take the time to speak to you in the shop it can be hit and miss to get them on the phone but a quick Facebook message or whatsapp and they call back.

customer care and satisfaction has always been a strong piont with these guys.

Been coming to this place since I was a teenager . Ive always loved the warm inviting atmosphere, and sense of enjoyment in shooting sports that the staff encourage. On this occasion I went in for a brocock ghost and they'd already given it a thorough check over to make sure everything was present and correct in advance And they were ready as ever with the usual mixture of technical knowledge and humorous banter. Very likely the best airgun shop In the country.

Without doubt the best gun shop I've visited, and I've been to quite a few.
If your passionate about air rifles or just getting started you must visit this place.
Lloyd and Sean have a wealth of knowledge and there passion for all things shooting related shows. (Checkout there YouTube channel) Brilliant friendly atmosphere, with none of the pressured sales you find in some stores, excellent eclectic mix of makes and models all under one roof.
So what you waiting for?
Get yourself on route!

Passionate about the sport. Clear trustworthy advise

Excellent

Service, knowledge and passion
Lloyd can be forgiven for the silly hats

Lloyd and the team will listen to your needs and offer suggestions no hard sell, I get the impression of its all about matching and exceeding the customers needs instead of selling a top end air rifle the client maybe unhappy with. Stock, well a load of choice in Air weapons, scopes and accessories, B.A.R has been operating for over 25 years serving it's loyal fan base, I am one of those repeat customers and grateful for the service. Others should learn the lesson, if you don't look after your customers, somebody else will.

Thanks Lloyd and Team

A Rare Jewel in Blackpool

I'm slowly getting back into shooting again after nearly twenty years of my air rifle collecting dust in the attic, the very same rifle I purchased from Blackpool Air Rifles 31 years ago! So imagine my surprise to find last year that they were still trading when I started researching what to buy! In June I was on holiday in Poulton so popped over to the shop and what a place! Its like a sweetshop for adults! Whilst waiting, Lloyd allowed me to pick up and try a few of the CO2 rifles, Sig Sauers and Crosmans. I was drooling. I was in the shop to look at the Sig Sauer P226 and was duly shown it. The pistol was taken out of its box, I was allowed to hold it, get Lloyds opinion on it and SOLD! I returned to the shop a few days later and purchased more stuff, so impressed with the service and friendly staff! Use Blackpool Air Rifles people. Guns shops are a dying breed. Thirty years ago we had a number of them in central Manchester, and I believe there are none now. Well worth a trip! Thank you Blackpool Air Rifles.

Outstanding Customer Service

Placed an order for a LMBR R2A chronograph. Easy ordering process online.
Shipping process and speed of delivery was faultless from BAR. A minor issues from my side (the purchaser), but BAR were outstanding dealing with it. Following a quick telephone call to BAR they resolved the matter instantly giving many options as to when to resend the parcel and all just days after the New Year. BAR’s customer service was exceptional. I highly recommend BAR to everyone and will have no issue purchasing from them again or seeking advice.

Top guys

Top guys! Had an issue with a recent purchase, and contacted the shop via FB. They told me to bring it back after they opened on 5/1. Upon inspecting the gun they said it would need repairing and it would be about a weeks turnaround, after asking they let me pick a different rifle which I paid the difference for and walked out of the shop with. Very impressed with the service, very knowledgeable staff also. 10/10 will purchase from here again.
