About Us

We are based in south Somerset close to the north Dorset and east Devon borders and offer the perfect shooting ‘destination’ with a 1,000 square foot retail shop, a 90-yard air rifle range and an underground 100-metre centrefire range that offers multiple lanes, electronic targets, heated and vented firing points where you can shoot prone, bench rest or standing.

We also have our own extremely popular Home Office approved rifle club called Rifleman Firearms Target Shooting Club for daily shooting, load development, general practice and regular competitions.

Mark's Words

My first air rifle was a Weihrauch HW35 in .22 which I bought in 1980 and then upgraded it four months later to the new HW80, again in .22. I shot all makes of airguns until I ventured into the FAC world in 1995 and purchased my first Anschutz .22WMR rifle with a well over-the-top Leupold 6.5-20x50 VX3 scope mounted on it. From there I’ve owned and shot many different centrefire rifles & calibres with my current favourites being a .223 for vermin control, a custom 6.5x47 for long range shooting and a 30-06 for stalking.

Sue's Words

I am the ‘glue’ that keeps all things held together in the office and do just about everything else other than serve in the shop. I don’t shoot per se, but when I do, I show the guys how to do it – haha!!!

 

Chris's Words

My 1st gun back in 1987 was a 12g Beretta 686 Special (the prelude to the Silver Pigeon). After spending 28 years in the Household Calvary / Blues & Royals as a gunnery instructor I wanted to continue my shooting career by joining Rifleman Firearms. Rifle target shooting, shotgun vermin control and deer stalking are my passions and I enjoy the customer interaction in teaching and coaching on our fullbore range.

Tom's Words

I have been interested in airgun shooting for the last 20 years with my first gun being a BSA Scorpion T10 PCP in .22 and currently enjoy shooting and restoring lots of different airguns that I’ve added to my collection over the years. I love long range air rifle competitions on our range and the banter of being with like-minded people.

Jamie's Words

I am the youngest member of the staff but I started shooting when I was 6 years old, going out with my dad and grandad who had a Diana 52 side lever springer in .22. I continued then through air cadets to shoot the L98 A2 Cadet GP rifle in 5.56 calibre and have developed my shooting discipline with my dad doing vermin control with our centrefire and rimfire rifles.

Ian's Words

Since my first Hatsan 99X break-barrel air rifle purchase back in 2014 I haven’t looked back and have been fortunate to shoot lots of different rifles and calibres over the years with my current personal favourite being the Tippmann .22wmr semi auto. I manage the ranges here at Rifleman Firearms and it’s fascinating and amazing to meet and mingle with so many fellow target shooters.

Gary's Words

I look good and make sure my dad (Ian) does a good job at the range. I always welcome a new teddy bear to destroy and can sleep just about anywhere I lay down. I love being made a fuss of.
