Shooting sports
Hop.nl is a specialist shooting sports retailer based in the Netherlands, with shipping across Europe and worldwide. We focus on precision rifle, F-Class, PRS, benchrest, ELR and hunting. That is our thing. We are active shooters ourselves. That might sound like a marketing line, but it is just the truth: we shoot competitions, we reload our own ammunition, we test products before listing them. If something does not meet our standards, it does not go in the shop.
Our range includes brands like Vortex Optics, March Scopes, Redding, K&M Precision, Frankford Arsenal, AMP Annealing, SuperTrickler, Fortmeier, SleipnerX and Tier One. Not a random catalogue, but a focused selection of manufacturers that have proven themselves on the range and in the field. We would rather carry fewer brands that we know inside out than an endless list we cannot vouch for.
Reloading ammunition
Reloading is at the core of what we do. If you are serious about precision shooting, there is no way around it. Factory ammunition is fine to start with, but if you want to get the absolute most out of your rifle, you load your own. In our reloading category you will find everything you need: presses, dies, expanding mandrels, case prep tools, tumbling and cleaning equipment, scales and powder dispensers, and annealing systems.
Whether you just set up your first single stage press or have been reloading on a turret press for years, we are happy to help. Not sure which bushing you need for your calibre? Wondering whether neck sizing works better than full length for your application? Just ask. We will walk you through your entire reloading process, from case preparation to weighing your charge.
Optics and aiming devices
Your riflescope is probably the single most important investment in your entire setup. A mediocre scope on a good rifle is a waste, and the other way around is no better. In our optics category we stock scopes from Vortex and March Scopes. Everything from bright hunting optics with second focal plane to high-end FFP scopes with fine MIL reticles built for long range precision.
Besides riflescopes, you will also find rangefinders and wind meters in our shop. For precision rifle at longer distances, a reliable rangefinder is not a luxury, it is a necessity. The same goes for a decent wind meter if you shoot outdoors regularly.
Bipods, rests and stability
In precision rifle, a stable platform matters just as much as a quality scope. The finest rifle with the best ammunition will still produce poor groups if your support is not up to standard. We stock bipods from Fortmeier, SleipnerX and Tier One, all brands we use ourselves in competition. From heavy F-TR bipods that sit like a rock on the mat to lightweight carbon PRS bipods that let you switch positions quickly.
You will also find rear bags, tripods and shooting mats in our range. Not sure what suits your discipline? We know exactly what you need, because we have had most of these setups on the range ourselves.
Gun maintenance
A clean barrel is an accurate barrel. Sounds simple, and it is. But the way you clean does make a real difference. In our gun maintenance category you will find cleaning products from Bore Tech and IOSSO, cleaning rods, bore snakes, oils and greases. We personally recommend a solid cleaning protocol after every range session, with a copper remover and a good carbon cleaner.
On our blog we regularly share tips on cleaning techniques, break-in procedures and maintaining your reloading tools. Practical stuff, from our own experience, without turning it into a sales pitch.
Stocks, chassis and barrels
Looking to upgrade your rifle? We carry rifle stocks and chassis systems and rifle parts including True Flite barrels. A new barrel or a better chassis can make an enormous difference in accuracy and ergonomics. We are happy to advise on the right choice for your rifle and discipline.
Targets and training
Good training starts with good targets. In our targets category you will find paper targets, steel targets and reactive targets. Whether you want to measure groups on paper or get feedback at distance with steel, we have it covered.
Protection and transport
Safety always comes first. In our protection and safety category you will find hearing protection and shooting glasses. For transporting your firearms, we have hard cases, bags and sleeves that meet all requirements. Well protected to the range and back.
And more
Beyond the main categories, you will also find air rifle pellets, shooting accessories and all sorts of small items you need at the range. The kind of things you only think about when you do not have them.

We are shooters and reloaders ourselves. No call centre, no scripted answers.

We are happy to help, even if you are not buying anything right now. That is fine by us, we all learn from it.
