WILLIAM EVANS –QUALITY YOU CAN TRUST

Independent gun maker William Evans has been offering a world-renowned service for more than 130 years.

Formed in 1883, the company has a longstanding reputation for high quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The back-bone of the William Evans client list was firmly established in its early years –notably with members of the aristocracy and ranking officers in the Guards Regiments, who ordered sporting guns and rifles before leaving for the Empire.

As its reputation grew, the business attracted the patronage of members of several prestigious gentlemen’s clubs, while it was also proud to list HRH The Duke of Connaught and HRH Prince Arthur of Connaught among its clientele.

Today, customers can expect the same high level of service and attention to detail that was so important all those years ago.

At its heart is the gun room, with a selection of new and second hand side-by-side and overand-under shotguns, bolt-action and double rifles – making it a must for all shooting enthusiasts, whether a novice or crack shot.

The store at 67A, St James’s in Mayfair, London, also sells an extensive range of essential clothing and accessories, offering “shooting chic” that fuses practicality with style.

said: “The business was founded on a reputation for quality and high-level craftsmanship at affordable prices for central London – an ethos that still drives us to this day.

“Whether you’re just starting out or have been shooting for years, you can be assured of a warm welcome.”

William Evans also has a gun room at the National Rifle Association at Bisley in Surrey, offering a “try before you buy” service with an on-site gunsmith, open seven days a week.
