Big Outdoor Store / Gun Shop in Columbus

[Bahnstoermer1647545488]

... buying a new gun (375 Ruger) and scope. I need to find a bigger place in Columbus so I don't have to order from a small shop and pay more. For example, the nearest Cabelas is in WV and Bass Pro is in Cincinnati.

 

What's the best 'round here?

It has been a while since I was last there, but doesn't Dicks have a section for that kind of stuff?

I would have to say Gander Mountain or Vances Shooter Supply would be the largest around here. Dicks does have a lot and is able to order most what they dont.

Thanks guys. I got a quote from Blackwing, was more than I'm hoping to pay. I do like that place though and go fairly regularly. I've heard of Vances, may give them a call, Gander and Dicks too I guess. Wish we had one of the "biggies" here... Cabela's is just awesome.

+1 for Blackwing!

You'll get the service from Blackwing, you'll get a number from vance's. Talk to Greg @ Blackwing, he'll help you out. Cabela's is great, I do agree. I used to go to the store in Budda, Texas when I was @ FT.Hood. I could spend hours finger fucking things. I liked Bass Pro aswell, they had a real nice trophy room full of rare and collectable firearms.

1. Go here (http://www.gunbroker.com/User/DealerNetwork.asp)

2. Punch in your zip, find all the FFL dealers around you.

3. Pick the one that has the cheapest transfer fees. $20 or less should be do-able. There's a bunch of guys that do transfers out of there home, so it might not be a shop.

4. Go to www.budsgunshop.com

5. Find the gun you want. These will probably be the cheapest prices you can find.

6. Get name, address, Phone #, Fax #, Email, etc. for Bud's Gun Shop.

7. Go to local FFL guy with Said info.

8. Tell local FFL guy you want him to recieve a transfer. Local FFL guy will send his FFL info to Bud's Gun Shop.

9. Order what you want from Bud's Gun Shop, being sure to let them know you've already send your local guy's FFL info to them.

10. Wait about a week. Pick up gun.

 

*Bud's price (includes shipping) + transfer fee = still waaaaay less than most walk-in shops. Downside is, you can't choke someone should something go wrong.

buckeye outdoors isn't bad out off of 79 at 40

I have been to Fin Feather and Fur,there is a pretty decent selection there.

 

If you take 71N to the SR250 exit (1 exit N of 30) go right at the light and its right after the gas station

Kind of a drive but I bought my handgun at shooters supply in cincinnati for a great price.

if i wasnt paranoid, i would buy from buds...heard nothing but good things. i still want to see what im getting before i get it though..

 

go to vances for prices. gander mountain is ridiculous. the kahr i was looking at was 539 there, went to vances, it was 389. then, GM was only willing to match the price...right! like im gonna buy from you when you just tried to rip me off 150 extra bucks

 

vances has great selection, and prices to boot. plus, my g/fs grandpa is one of the gunsmiths there
