I am looking for a gun and they seem to be the only ones who have it but at a more expensive price (£100 above list)
I sent a message asking if there was any movement on price and got a reply of "no its cheep enough" and then another "£30 RFD"
Due to my Yorkshire genes i can't get over the price hiking because they seem to be the only shop with 1 in stock and also the the very seemingly (how i read it) sharp reply.
 
I often drool over some of the used guns they have. Very well received dealer I believe but never bought from them.
Fired a few emails between ourselves and always cheerfully too
 
That’s not very good form in my book 😕. I know that’ll they’ll have overheads but that’s a bit steep. I have heard that they are rather expensive……dom
 
Used Perkin Guns for a few years now and always find Martin and Rachel really helpful, whether you're buying a new rifle or just a tin of pellets, always some rare and interesting rifles to look at,well worth a visit if you're ever in the area, can highly recommend 👍

I've dealt with them, they have a really nice well stocked shop with friendly knowledgeable staff. I bought what was supposed to be a Zenith tuned Walther LGU which was beautiful to look at but shot like a dog with every type of pellet I could find, but to be fair to the guys there they made no fuss and just too k it back with a full refund on the spot.
 
I've bought a pistol off of them, I found them friendly and helpfull, even giving us directions to a few nearby ranges where we could go and have a shoot while we were in the area. Smallish shop but an alladin's cave with a lot of very nice guns and shotguns in stock when I was there. But moral is I didn't spend a fortune that day but they were polite and more than happy to answer all of my questions.
 
The "trouble" with Perkins Guns is that they seem to be able to source many of the exotic toys that aren't easy to get hold of, and they know this, and price their gear accordingly knowing that people will eventually hand over their hard earned for that special piece, and i dont have a problem with this personally.

I often see people claiming they are the reason some sought after items are selling for crazy prices in the private sales .
If people selling private copy their prices then that is on them , You can't blame Perkins for it .

To source that gear usually means they will have to offer decent money to get it and then add on something to make being in business worthwhile.

No-one is being forced to buy, it is up to the individual if they wish to purchase.
 
Anyway.........
Just spoken to them and bought it.
From what he told me RAW had a price increase in March by £100 and that is why i thought it was overpriced and i apologised to him for thinking that.
Lovely people to buy from so far and if i can get a lift from here to there on Saturday to pick it up i will be going or he can send it tomorrow for delivery Tuesday to my RFD of choice.
It seems as the people who don't have any stock are still at the old price but still have them advertised.
So just to say to Perkins i apologise for having the wrong opinion and reading the messages in an incorrect way! which as usual i did.
I will now await the comments giving me a bollocking regarding me jumping to conclusions which are of course most deserving
 
Used them over the years and always had great service. Prices are a bit steep sometimes and I wish they'd sort out their bloody website ... no search function and ads that aren't actually guns for sale, but a wanted ad Head bang 65
