Gun Trade News Issue 83

EJ Churchill is renowned for fine guns, but now a new version of the Crown has entered the collection. What will the editor think?

Most of you will know that EJ Churchill has an illustrious gunmaking past, but no longer makes guns. So you may be surprised to see that the company has brought out a new gun called the Crown. Rupert Haynes, the gunroom manager at EJ Churchill is quite open that the company has outsourced production to Rizzini. And why not? After all, the Italian company makes excellent guns.

The Crown is a lovely looking gun and its handling qualities are superb. That makes it worth £7,995 of anyone’s money. This gun will appeal to those who are a bit sentimental in that they want the EJ Churchill name on their gun, but want to combine that with the reliability of a modern gun from a prestigious Italian gunmaker.

Combine that with the superb handling and you have here a gun that is worth every penny of its asking price.
