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.

Eurooptic

thanks! Keep them coming

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.

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.

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.

Did you have to go out and cut your own switch? I remember having to do that. Oh wait wrong kind of switch.

This is the ONLY online buying for guns that I have used. 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.

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.

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.

Whitaker, Grabagun usually my go-to.

My last online purchase was with Michigan Shooting Centers. https://mishoot.com/
Reasonable prices plus no tax unless you're a Michigan resident and shipping is included.

Oakland Guns is excellent for new guns. A large inventory of guns if not in shop that they can order. Reasonable to good prices, a 10 month no interest layaway and excellent customer services with prompt emails for invoices ect. They make buying guns easy..

Just completed a purchase from Dominion Outdoors in Fishersville, VA via GI. Pick it up tomorrow. They seem to have a lot of stuff others don’t. Excellent service.

Bought several guns from EuroOptics…live about 20 minutes from them.

Bought my Fieldcraft, my 10/22 CSC, and others from them. Have a Howa Carbon Mini on layaway now. These days if you see something, you’d better grab it, and they make that possible and easy.

Good to know.

Tagged for future reference.

Looks like a good place to buy a SAA Colt clone, if you're in the market.

yeah Skeen, I’m eyeballing the Cimarron Arms “Bad Boy” 10mm they have pretty hard. Shop is about 2.5 hours from where I live, but I get out there a few times a year. Nice people to deal with.

That is a cool hog-leg!

For brand new firearms Reedssports is my go to if they have it in stock.
Havent used Buds in years cause my credit card got hacked buying from them, come to find out a friends got hacked also.
For used firearms which is the vast majority of which I purchase mostly small shops or private individuals.
I personally prefer gunsinternational over gunbroker.

rkguns.com is good, if you have a Rural King store in the neighborhood. I've done two transactions with them this year, and both were seemless. They most sell the more common stuff, though, nothing fancy, and a helluva lot of black plastic, but now and then they come up with something really good.

yeah…I forgot to mention RKGuns! bought 2 handguns and a shotgun from them in the last 2 years. no issues whatsoever.
