Gun tests

 Every month in Sporting Shooter, Mike Yardley tests a shotgun and gives his honest expert opinion about whether it's worth the money.

He lists its strong and weak points, and gives advice on which types of shooter would find it most useful.

Here is a list of the guns he's tested in the past couple of years, and the issue of the magazine they appeared in.

Some of these tests can be downloaded as a pdf file by clicking on the link (provided you're logged in as a magazine subscriber). Other pdf files will be added in due course.

Alternatively, if you want to order a back-issue of the magazine, you can call 0870 830 4960
