Last chance to win a William Powell shotgun in BASC’s winter gun draw
BASC’s 2025 winter gun draw closes on 31 December, so there’s not long left for you to win a William Powell Princeps shotgun valued at £11,000.
The Princeps pairs precision engineering with elegant styling and hand-finished engraving, and is noted for its balance and reliability – a fine example of modern British gunmaking. The Princeps is high performance steel proofed with 3-inch chambers and is available with 28, 29, 30 or 32-inch barrels.
Tickets to enter the draw cost £25 each and the draw is open to residents of England, Scotland and Wales, aged 18 and over and who hold a valid shotgun certificate.
Proceeds will contribute to the BASC Fighting Fund, which allows the association to initiate legal challenges to support our members and protect the future of shooting.
The prize includes a made-to-measure stock, a five-year warranty, free gunfit and a leather covered ABS travel case.
The draw closes at 11.59pm 31 December 2025. The winner will be contacted directly by BASC and full terms and conditions apply, available on the competition page.
