Introducing the September Issue

Welcome to The Vintage Gun Journal, your free-to-view monthly magazine for all things British gun and rifle.

The season for gamebirds in England arrived on August 12th, with grouse and I have been lucky enough to shoot a few this month while spending a day walking-up with some friends and dogs at the Raby Estate.

The walking was hard and the shooting challenging but there isn't much more enjoyable and pure than this kind of sport. This is how our forebears cut their teeth in the shooting field.

September offers more - a couple of driven grouse days in Cumbria to look forward to.

Meanwhile, the market continues to favour best quality, best condition and unusual patents. Classic between-the-wars sporting rifles are in demand and the auction houses have been selling out every sale, though prices continue to be a lot lower than a decade ago. Good news for buyers!

We will try to bring you more articles in the coming months.

I have stopped writing for some of the print magazines I have been working with for years in order to devote more time to the Vintage Gun Journal.
