LatmanGunshops in Finland?
I often travel to Helsinki on business and would like to check out what should be a must better choice than what I get locally in Latvia - particularly for reloading components.
Could any knowledgable Finns online please advice as to favoured gun/hunters shops in the Helsinki area - preferably with reloading stocks?

JTHMy own favourite very close to Helsinki is Riistamaa
www.riistamaa.fi and their shop in Espoo (some 20 km from the Helsinki city). You can check out their pricelist on the net."Jälleenlataus" means reloading.
There are some good gunshops in Helsinki too, but let's wait for a while if someone here has better knowledge of them, since I don't.

LatmanKiitos for your kind help. It looks like they have a nice choice of product - I'm starting to learn reloading finnish from a colleague as a result:
ruutityypit = powder
nalli = primer
Other Helsinki area gunshop suggestions gladly appreciated.

JTHBy all means. Here's a couple more, which I don't know much about, but which are located in Helsinki:
Asetekno:
http://www.asetekno.fi/Hantaurus:
https://www.hantaurus.fi/Suomiase:
http://www.suomiase.com/I hope these help.
In case you need them, here are some basic terms that might be of help when using those pages;
patruuna = cartridge
luodit = bullets
hylsy = case
haulikko = shotgun
kivääri, luodikko = rifle
Good luck and welcome!

TonyCHHi,
There is many gunshops in Helsinki but the best ones are not located there.
Here is some more I could find a website for:
http://www.aseistamo.fi/http://www.ammo.fi/ (25km from Helsinki)
http://www.eravaruste.fi/ (35km from HKI)
http://www.juhanisinisalo.fi/valikkob.php?pagename=index.php (best for hunting rifles and gear, 35km from HKI)
http://www.teraasekeskus.com/teraasekeskus.html (45km from HKI)
http://www.printecase.fi/ (20km from HKI)
Most of these are close to some motorway running from Helsinki so all are within 30min drive.
But, like I said all best stores are somewhere else. In the coutry side I mean where there are the best possibilities for hunting and camping. I don't think there is one good store for reloaders in Helsinki, maybe best selection is at Riistamaa?

DUKQuite a distance from Helsinki but very recommendable is the gunshop in Humpila.
