I'm on a quest to find a few more nice blue and walnut rifles and maybe a couple of over unders in 12 and 20 to have and to pass on to my hopefully future grand children
I'm aware of Whitakers, First Stop as having things you don't see every day. Any others that I should be aware of?

Guns International is good.They don't charge the buyer tax like Gunbroker does.It's not an auction site sellers list at their asking price. https://www.gunsinternational.com/

I’ve purchased a number of firearms from Bud’s, Grabagun, Kentucky Gun Company, Eurooptic and Able Ammo. No complaints with any of them.
What blows my mind about Able Ammo is both firearms hit my FFL’s door the day after I ordered them. Able Ammo told me the fast shipping time was due to UPS’s distribution pattern and that I was most definitely the exception to the rule. Able is the highest priced online dealer I’ve used but they were the only dealer that had what I was looking for.
Update - I forgot about Classic Firearms. Bought one firearm from them and the transaction was seamless, from placing the order through delivery.

I've had very good luck with several purchases from Grabagun.com

I've bought a few from Bud's over the years without issues. Their prices aren't as good as they used to be, but you can still catch a good sale there once in a while. https://www.budsgunshop.com/

Oakland Guns in AR. They seem to have access to stuff others often don’t, and a very generous layaway period, which I’ve used as needed. Much of their “stock” is in a warehouse, presumably their jobber, but once they have it they put it aside until you pay it off. Have one laid away now while I sell its predecessor. Prices have edged up a bit since the “troubles” began, but that’s true everywhere. Family owned, and nice folks. https://www.oaklandguns.com/

Reeds, Whitaker, Grabagun have all been good transactions.
I'd never use Bud's again after they tried pulling a bait and switch on me.

Good prices when I used them, haven't lately. And shipping was very fast.....

I bought guns from several online gun shops.I started looking around locally and was able to get better prices plus no shipping cost or transfer fees.I bought two hand guns at The Green Bay Fleet & Farm that were way cheaper than any thing on Gun Broker or other online sources.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

Puglisi Gun Emporium in West Duluth is the best one that I've ever been in. I'd never even seem a Dakota M10 and I wanted to and Pugs place had two of them. Virtually all their business is online because they have really high end stuff. It is a bank that they bought and they keep the really high end stuff in the vault. Those two Dakotas weren't even in the vault if that gives you some idea of their inventory.
My other auto is a .45

I’ve purchased a number of firearms from Bud’s, Grabagun, Kentucky Gun Company, Eurooptic and Able Ammo. No complaints with any of them. The first four mentioned are very responsive. No experience with Able but I will add GunZoneDeals.com to the list. At first, I was leery of their website but I had good service on my first order.

I've used Palmetto State Armory, Modern Warriors, Buds, and recently Shooters Connection, all with good results. I've purchased optics from Eurooptic and been very happy with their service, but no firearms so far.
