Sporting Gun Magazine Apr / 308 Back Issue

Welcome to the April issue of Sporting Gun – ushering in both the promise of springs renewal and the controversy surrounding our sport. We dive straight into the issues shaking and indeed shaping our sport. From soaring shotgun certificate fees and the relentless push for a ban on lead ammunition to the heart-wrenching rise in gundog thefts, our pages are packed with in-depth analysis and no-holds-barred reporting. Yet, it's not all grim – we also bring you exclusive features, including a double dose of Geoff Garrod, rigorous shotgun tests with Rob Speed and Jonny Carter, and some old-school walked-up rabbiting with Nick Ridley.
We have a comprehensive binocular roundup, a top-five guide to shotguns for hide shooter, and fresh insights from a female perspective, as new gun and BBC journalist Leigh Milner’s debut on the Sporting Gun team, alongside contributions from familiar voices like Ryan Kay, Ellena Swift, Howard Kirby, Mark Ripley, Bruce Potts, and Chris Rogers.
