You can win a stunning William Powell shotgun worth £13,000 in our Autumn gun draw.
We are pleased to offer our members the chance to win a superb-quality shotgun in our annual autumn gun draw.
This time, a bespoke, exquisitely crafted, next-generation William Powell 12 bore 28”, side-by-side Viscount shotgun is up for grabs. Made in Italy, this gun is made to last and serve you for many years to come.
Sleek and elegant, the Viscount makes a real statement of precision and skill; this isn’t just any tool, it’s a beautiful accessory worthy of attention both in action and when carried over your arm.
The Viscount is engineered using the latest technology and is a gun built for the future. It’s true sidelock offers ultimate balance and crisper trigger pulls. It is high-performance steel proofed (up to ½ choke) and handles smoothly even when using modern high-performance cartridges.
Engraved with a fine rose and scroll to the locks and underside of the action, the coin finish on this gun works beautifully with its highly figured, walnut stock. This shotgun is an absolute work of art and boasts a range of extra finishing touches, such as teardrops in the stock, elongated trigger tang, and hand-crafted chequering.
What’s even better, the Viscount is crafted to the owner’s individual needs and measurements as standard. A complimentary gun fitting session is available as part of your prize to ensure the stock is made to fit you like a glove.
So, what are you waiting for? Enter our prize draw now.
Each ticket costs just £2 and you can purchase up to 250.
The closing date for entries is 25 October 2023, with the draw being held on 27 October.
