MacWet gloves
MacWet gloves give good grip and feel as well as providing protection from the elements. Available in a large range of sizes and half sizes, they come in two cuff lengths and two thicknesses.
The ClimaTec is for winter use, and the summer one is thinner and more breathable for use on warmer days. There are warmer gloves on the market, but for feel when operating a gun, MacWet are hard to beat.

Teague Universal choke wrench
The Teague universal fit choke wrench works on any choke. The neat design relies on friction fit to grip the choke for insertion and removal, so isn’t recommended for freeing chokes that are stuck – but that shouldn’t be a problem with proper maintenance. For someone who shoots multiple guns it’s ideal as you only need carry one key.
RRP: £17

Magic Bore
Anyone who moans about cleaning their gun will love the Magic Bore Drill Kit. We have covered the system in this magazine earlier this year – it’s a kit that can be fitted to a power drill and combines a long phosphor bronze brush with an integrated microfibre mop – meaning you can shift stubborn lead and plastic fouling in a fraction of the normal time. It’s also available with a handle for manual cleaning.
Prices from £50

These practical and rather stylish boots marry country style to die for to a comfortable pair of boots with Vibram soles suitable for all weather conditions.
The look is completed by tassels which attach to the zips. By default these match the colour of the boot, but can be ordered in additional colours – in fact the tassels are an ideal stocking filler at £20-£30.
