Cheapest place to buy guns???

This post has nothing to do with new gun laws or any of that stuff...

Ive always just relied on cabelas and bass pro to purchase my guns but they charge for the connivence and i feel they over price all of their merchandise. Besides a gun show where is the best place to look for low priced guns?

(im looking for name brand guns)

Gun show? Seriously? Seldom are you going to buy a gun from a gun show at a good price unless its from an individual.

And Cabelas does have decent prices but you have to shop? I go about every other week and check out their used guns. Most of the time I come home empty handed but I've found more than a few good deals there. As for Bass Pro...it's my experience that they really love their guns and think very highly of them.

New guns? Slickguns will have the best prices from various vendors.
Used guns? The classifieds here, or gunbroker.

Pawn shops and individuals. At least you can haggle a little.

I've never seen one of those mythical "deals" at a pawnshop. Around here they're selling used gun for new retail prices, no haggling.

Edit: that was before the scare, now they're double retail, lol!

Some of the best deals I've run into have been right here.

Yes, it seems the forums have some good deals.

Sportingarms.com is awesome on new guns.

This is the best place I've found for shopping. I search here, gunbroker and Tx gun trader when I'm looking for something specific. Right now I'm searching for a 20 ga dbl bbl. Still looking.

not the gun show for sure

budsgunshop online

I'm going to disagree with the gun show comments. You CAN find some good deals at gun shows. I got my $800+ Kimber for $725 out the door brand new. It really depends. People with table are just stores too.

A broke friend.

I've bought a number of firearms through gunbroker, and think that's an awesome place to buy if the shipping is less than what the sales tax is to buy locally. You can usually find find better deals on current retail prices by up to 20% below gun stores, and find guns that some dealers can't get, or are on a waiting list.

x2 and better than loaning money

Usually Bud's Guns: http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php

I have purchased several handguns and rifles from them over the years.

Gunbroker gets my vote as well.

I found a great deal on an beautiful old Fox Stevens SXS at Cabella's. It was about 1/2 what I saw them going for on Gunbroker and in great condition. I think there are deals to be had, you just have to look and be patient. Past that, gunbroker, THF, etc.

Cabelas used sometime ain't bad.

I found a mint condition remmy 788 in 7-08 about 2 years for $399. Not being familiar with the cartridge of model I called my FIL. He said it was too much and caliber wasnt that good.

I bet I could have got it for $350-$375 AND it had a cheap scope on it.

I bought a remington 1100 in .410 for $325 tax included at a pawnshop. That was a good deal to me. You just have to be patient.

Pawn shop & here on THF.

google viking armory... he has a shop in the colony and is usually cheaper than buds

Doesn't look like Viking Armory's web page is working..

Cabelas is high on just about everything. I rarely buy without it being in the cave. If you buy from allen store they always have extra of the $25 off over $140 coupons at customer service. Just tell them you left yours from the mail at home and they will give you one. Walking the store yesterday i noticed that they marked up alot of handguns $20-40 bucks just from christmas eve. The crowds of buying guns is less as well.

I have used gunbroker and budsgunshop (which he has tons on gunbroker with a great buy now price) good deals

Find an honest old fashioned dealer who will order for you at cost + x%. You can easily tell the good ones, cause they will let you see there wholesaler flyers/catalogs.
Depending on where you live, you can sometimes find deals on Davidsons using the Gun Genie, try using different zip codes to find new dealers.

Academy.....

If you know exactly what you want, you can usually find it cheaper somewhere on the internet. Make sure to factor in shipping and FFL fees when comparing local price + sales tax.

Support your local gun store as long as they are not gouging.

Went to Nagels Gun shop yesterday. Prices coming down. Brother in law picked up a LC9.

I have to say some of the best deals I have seen are on this forum. As far as gun shows, I use them for hard to locate items and window shopping. You won't find good deals at a gun show.

Local gun shops can offer a decent gunsmithing relationship (because eventually you will need one), but you do pay a bit extra. It's worth an extra few percentage to have someone I know and perhaps reasonably trust work on the weapons.

Unless your looking for an ar it seems everyone wants to sell theirs for far more than they paid.

New guns: Academy and Buds online.
Used: Right here.

Take a look at grabagun.com. They have a store front in Coppell.

Cabela's will price match on their new guns.

local pawn shops around here are the best. I can typically purchase what I want $100-$200 cheaper than the "going rate" online.

Cabelas will match if you have a sales flyer and the store is within 100 miles and has it instock. Id rather just support the store with the better deal than go into that hassle. How often do you see the gun you want in a flyer.
