I am heading up to Big Sky, Montana tomorrow with the family for a week of skiing.
Since I will be close to Bozeman, can anyone recommend a gun store, pawn shop, etc. in that area that's got a good selection of used guns to peruse?

Shedhorn Sports. Nothing here compares. We have a Sportsman’s Warehouse, the regional Bob Wards and Murdoch’s, and a plethora of mediocre pawn shops. I wouldn’t bother with any of them.

Bozeman Walmart has fancier gun chit than the other Walmarts. Uppity fuggers!

The Westley Richards store! Sorry, that store is gone with the Schwinn. The other place to look is the old Powderhorn which has become Schnee’s. They do have some guns in there on consignment that are worth a look, It isn’t what it used to be, but it does have more than anything else in town as far as decent used guns. Hill Rod and gun in the old Bozeman Hotel is worth the ride in the elevator to the 4th floor. Charlie has a ton of nice double guns of all makes. It is a must stop if you like classy English guns that are affordable...

Thanks for all the suggestions!
Shedhorn Sports in Ennis sounds great. But, I am stuck with the family sharing one car, so it probably won't be feasible for me to make it to Ennis on this trip.
I will be sure to visit Hill and Rod, since I have a soft spot for SxSs. I'll hit Schnee's, too.
Since Bozeman will be as far as I can venture, of the Boseman pawn shops, which one is the best for used guns?

Shinbone: As you are travelling south from "Four Corners" towards Big Sky there is another gunshop worth a stop and look see - I was in there last Friday. They are closed Saturday and Sunday. I am trying to find their business card but they are about 1 1/2 miles south of "Four Corners" on Highway 191 they are on the right (west side of the highway - visible from the highway) in a small strip mall - I forget the name of the shop but I have bought three guns from them in the past year. They have quite a few guns on consignment and several used scopes. I will add the name and street address to this post when I find them. Travel careful. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy Name of shop Gallatin Valley Firearms Link: https://www.gallatinvalleyfirearms.com/contact-gallatin-valley-firearms/Address: 80085 Gallatin Road - Unit "C" Enjoy.
