Im sure this has been asked a million times here so im guessing one more wont hurt, Needing to know where all you guys do your gun shopping, what sites, stores or hidden gems. Looking to get three new rifles for me and the family. Looking for the best bang for my buck or just all around a good place for a one stop spot. Im located in North Fort Worth. Appreciate it guys thanks!

Grabagun has about the best pricing I’ve seen anywhere.

you open to buying online and shipping to FFL? I just bought a springfield waypoint in 6 creed and saved at least $400 by buying online. Cheapest I found it was at locked & loaded in Illinois. It was fast shipping and went very smooth.

Gun.deals to check prices. Verify the website is legit if i haven't heard of it, then order to my FFL. Has always worked for me.

I’ve bought guns from Sportsmans Outdoor Superstore many times with no problems.

I buy from Grabagun often. Their prices are good even after you pay shipping and a FFL x fer, which I've never done. I pick up at their store front in Coppell near DFW Airport. M-F, 0900-5. If that works out for you the savings is substantial.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

They have adjustable LOP for smaller stature people. Very accurate, look good. Savage Axis II has also had good reports as have the offerings from CVA Cascade. Check on YouTube for great hands-on reviews. Look for WHO TEE TOO and Backfire. They are both very thorough. DON'T forget good optics. There are a TON of really great "budget" scopes. YouTube again, look up Cyclops Joe. He does really great scope reviews. You will see FFP (First focal plane) and SFP, second focal plane. I would recommend SFP for "normal" hunting situations.

That site will search for the best prices. All you have to do is put in the model number in most instances, and, boom, you have a list of the places with the best prices. Also, be sure to go to the manufacturer's website to see if they have any rebates. Tikka recently had $75 rebates for T3X rifles, so I picked up three of them because it was too good to pass up.

You put that $599.00 rifle in a B&C Medalist stock with bottom metal from High Desert Rifle Works and you have a really fine rifle for under $1000.00.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Bud’s Gun Shop Grabagun Sportsman’s Warehouse Eurooptics Gunbroker
I’ve bought from all of them. Just have to do the research and find the deals. I have a local shop that will do transfers for $10.

I've bought 3 rifles off Gunbroker cuz I could see the wood I was buying. I called the seller directly and bypassed all the gunbroker BS.
