When I first encountered Longthorne when they launched at the Game Fair, I knew I wanted one! 10 years later, and I finally purchased their trigger plate model with custom stock. I made two visits to the factory to select my wood, then to have the stock fitted by James. I collected the gun a few months later in September 2021. Since then, the gun has performed faultlessly, and drawn admiring looks and comments wherever I use it. It is by far the best gun I have ever owned. Elaine and James Stewart have been a pleasure to deal with, and I would like to say a big thank you for supplying me with such a quality, 100% English, shotgun!

I moved last year to high performance steel cartridges and quickly found that the guns that I was using from another well known maker despite being suitably proofed were simply not up to the job. I had two guns develop loosening of soldered ribs by the end of the season. I determined I would find a new gun that was both strong enough to shoot high performance loads regularly and was still a true game gun. Having read about and spoken to fellow guns to were already using guns from Longthorne I visited their factory and was confident I had found the best manufacturer to make my new gun. It is clear that they can make a gun that is as elegant and beautiful as any in the world but which due to their machining their barrels and lump out of a single piece of steel is intrinsically stronger than any other maker. Jim, Elaine and the rest of the team make simply beautiful, perfectly balanced and very pointable shotguns that will help you both enjoy more and likely help take your shooting to a better level than before. My new gun is a total delight and joy to shoot with and I only wish I had had one of their guns before. Lovely, helpful, knowledgeable people to deal with and great service both before and after commissioning one of their fine shotguns. I cannot think of another make of shotgun that I would prefer having now used my new Longthorne.
