If you love guns, this is the publication for you! This is not a glossy photo spread magazine, its more of a newspaper type 'classified ads' publication. Lists pages and pages of every conceivable type of firearm for sale, at dealer (FFL) prices. You will comb the pages for hours and never get bored. Use it to find what you want, and then contact your local FFL dealer to get it slightly above wholesale cost. Save big bucks over inflated sporting goods store price!

I have purchased many issues over the years and hope to receive a subscription for christmas. I have found it to be a very complete resource for firearms as well as many other military surplus and survival based products. The classifieds are arranged for easy use and the articles are very informative.Shotgun News

SN is an odd publication. It is a large-format shopping magazine like the old Computer Shopper magazine used to be, but it also has great articles. There are vendors that sell everything related to this hobby. So, you can dig thru it looking for that odd item, or you can see what is brand new to the market and what it will cost you to get your hands on one. In the past few years, SN has really picked up its feature articles too. They contain really great, informative, articles about subjects that I appreciate including DIY projects, history, and collectibles. This is not like any of the other mags that mostly show the latest and greatest with super-tech photographs and reviews. It is great for those who are building collections, buying&selling, and keeping a finger on pulse of their industy or hobby. It is also a great place to look for Curio & Relics, military surplus arms, and militaria that being imported/re-imported. So, it is unique amoung other magazines, but it is a great one to keep around.

SHOTGUN NEWS has been around for decades now. If you're interested in firearms, militaria, collecting, reloading, or simply need some ammo and a sling for your Japanese Type 38 infantry rifle, you've got a pretty good chance of finding it in SHOTGUN NEWS.

It also includes shotguns, rifles, pistols, revolvers, black powder arms and kits from which you can build your own. After you get that Model 1860 Springfield together, you can find a socket bayonet and forage cap in SHOTGUN NEWS.

Most modern firearms require you to make the purchase through an FFL dealer in your community. Most such dealers charge a small fee for taking delivery, but you can save a significant amount of money purchasing from dealers who advertise in SHOTGUN NEWS. Some of the arms are deeply discounted at certain times of the year.

SHOTGUN NEWS also includes some great articles on guns, ammunition, collecting and market trends. It's like a big classified section with a lot of notations, comments and a few articles.

I've always enjoyed SHOTGUN NEWS and I gave it five stars. If you're a shooter, collector, hunter, outdoorsman, military historian, re-enactor, or living history enthusiast, you'll love SHOTGUN NEWS.

I have been a subscriber of Shotgun news for a very long time, and have even bought gift subscriptions for friends. I always subscribe to the 36 issues per year.

My latest 3-year subscription was expiring June 10th of this year, and I called Shotgun news to renew it. I got a lady who refused to renew my 3-year subscription. In fact, the only thing she would offer me was a lousy 1-year subscription at an inflated rate.

I couldn't believe it. I told her that I would not renew at that length, or price and that I would never have another subscription to Shotgun news. I don't know what their problem is...but lack of good customer service is a start. Subscribers beware.

Ex-subscriber

Well 2 months and still not received. Seems to be impossible to contact anyone after they have your money. Im a bit set back as I have bought many things from Amazon and usually really happy about the service. This time If I could give a zero star, I would do just that. Think I have been ripped off.

Well I know I like the Shotgun News, just wish it would come.... Don't think I can recommend ordering thru Amazon due to the long wait to get your subscription started :-( Over 1 1/2 months and still nothing. Have ordered other subscriptions for other magazines in the past and have had poor service and long waits. Wont order another magazine thru Amazon.

I have not received my order of Shotgun news as of yet ???
cannot rate since i haven't received it yet

Both my husband and my brother love this magazine. They can't live without it!

Maybe I was expecting too much but this publication typically has NOTHING to do with SHOTGUNS??
In fact the most recent issue I have has not 1 story about shotguns...if you are into rifles and pistols this may be the magazine for you, but if you are into shotguns, don't even think of picking this magazine up...they really should change the name, it is misleading.
