New Forest Country Sports

Ben Clarke spent over 8 years in the gunroom at Lamberts of Ringwood before striking out on his own. When Lamberts closed in 2024, he decided to open New Forest Country Sports closer to the coast on the edge of the New Forest—putting him in the middle of Hampshire's shooting community with direct access to clay grounds and hunting country.

The shop carries:

• •Shotguns (SGC/Sec2): Beretta, Browning, Miroku, Winchester, Caesar Guerini, ATA, Yildiz, KOFS, Webley, Blaser, Hatsan, Remington, Mossberg, and more. Stock includes over-and-under, side-by-side, semi-auto, and pump models—both new and pre-owned.

• •Rifles & Pistols (FAC/Sec1): Target, game, and vermin rifles. Brands include Weihrauch, Air Arms, BSA, Stoeger, Daystate, AGT, Brocock, Hatsan, Webley, and most makes available to order. Long-barrel and black powder pistols in stock.

• •Air Rifles & Pistols: From backyard plinking to serious hunting. Weihrauch, Air Arms, BSA, Stoeger, Daystate, AGT, Brocock, Hatsan, Webley, Gamo, and Walther. New and pre-owned models available.

• •Ammunition & Cartridges: Gamebore, Winchester, Norma, Hornady, Sako, CCI, Remington, Federal, Magtech, Geco shotgun cartridges and rifle ammunition, plus air gun pellets.

• •Optics & Accessories: Cleaning and service products from top manufacturers, plus a selection of rifle optics to build out your setup.

The on-site workshop offers repairs and servicing to most makes and models of air guns, firearms, and shotguns. If something needs work, they can typically handle it.

Beyond sales and repairs, the shop offers secure storage for firearms and shotguns.

Newforestcountrysports maintains a list of local clay shooting grounds: - Ower Shooting Ground (Hampshire) - Owl's Lodge (Hampshire) - Pilford (Dorset) - Three Lions (Dorset)

Important: All guns must be bagged before entering or leaving the premises.

Ben's 8+ years of hands-on experience in a professional gunroom means he understands what serious shooters actually need. He's focused on serving the local community with inventory depth, expert repairs, and the kind of support that comes from knowing the shooting scene.

Whether you're hunting game, shooting clay, plinking in the garden, or doing target work, he's stocked to support it—and if he doesn't have something in the shop, he can order it.
