Sure it's not at the over inflated prices for what you get, just gives them a bigger profit margin.

The reason why Gun City, Hunting and Fishing, etc, mainly sell Gamo is because they are the leading brand at a reasonable price. Speaking specifically of the store mentioned (Gun City, Napier) - they are one of my local suppliers and I now consider myself a regular customer there. My experience of them has been great. The staff there have motivated me to get my FAL and are always willing to help me out even if I am just browsing. Between them and my local independent (who are also great) I have most of my needs covered.

Glad they gave you good service. What two stores?
I've found the branch in napier not upto scratch on air guns. But I've run into a few gun shops that just sell air rifles for xtra profit and just think of them as toys for plinking. Most seem to deal with one maker which to me indicates they are locked into exclusive contracts. That isn't in the interest of air gunners. None of them sell just one brand of powder burner. Same with pellets. But just my experience. Only with shops around hb so far. |

Well the breeches have finally arrived at youngs. A few weeks later than he said, but I'm assuming thats to do with shipping. But stoked that will get the 362 scoped up and one for next 1322.
Pauly has a couple of extended probe bolts for me which is awsome. But the real reason I fired this thread up again is to sing praise of magnum sport in Stratford. Ordered some sig pellets after mercs said they stocked them. In less than 2 hours I got a email from Aramax saying they had been picked up and the tracking number. The service there is awsome. I absolutely love his no bullsh*t attitude. Throughly recommend using him. Just got a email from him, verifying the track number and let me know that he doesn't have a source for other parts I was after. I love that too, no bullsh*t just nope don't have source, no ifs, but, maybe, might be able to order. Just strait up service. |

Young’s is owned by Ron, shopfront run by a guy named Ron, repairs are done by Ron (most repairs in the country sent to him), importing, buying, etc done by Ron.. he’s old school and his receipts are written on contact pads. His website is average to say the least, but he isn’t going to operate an online inventory - it’s not the way he works and isn’t going to change. If he doesn’t get back to your emails he’s likely working on a drop of 30 Gamo repairs for gun city, or trying to sort an order to make sure we don’t run out of pellets. |
