Thread: Good Gun Shop feedback

After reading a comment on another thread about how people often complain about bad experiences with shops but never mention the good ones, I thought hey why not have a thread about the good ones.

So I'll start off - I've had good service and sharp prices from the following outifts:


Thai's Hunting and Fishing - Timaru

Shooters World - Gore

Centrefire McCarthy's - Dunedin

Oh, and I also got an absolute ripper of a bargain on a rifle from Sportways via trademe.

Outdoorsman Headquarters – Rotorua.

Only place worth going in Rotorua

Stirling Sports - Richmond.
James is a good wheeler and dealer, always good value. Don't shop anywhere else anymore.

Online shopping - reloaders & workshop innovation

EuroOptics = sensational customer service and pricing.

Gun Traders - Hamilton
Helpful guys, i wonder down every time i get a WOF and have a chat and discuss guns etc
Can't do big discounts on all items cos they don't buy bulk but sometimes i don't mind paying that little extra knowing its going into a local business not a nationwide chain-store.

Don't get me wrong chain-stores have there place but i'll always go to the little man 1st if i can

Always found reasonable advice, good service, good products from Reloaders. Never had any issue at all.
Not sure how the prices compare but most stuff been similar to others.

Agreed, after having a bad experience "trying" to buy a new rifle from a large franchise I went to Broncos here in Tauranga. Staff went out of their way to help me even though it was late in the day and close to closing. Awesome service right through the process and as a result have stopped purchasing anything through the previous shop and Broncos now get all my business

NZ Asia company - Nelson
Greg and Jason have been bloody good an fast with vx6 warranty issues, with them been replaced overnight and sorted fast easy to deal with

Reloaders, also hunting and fishing Naiper I brought a bag and the strap broke off when I got home and used it so took it back without proof of purchase they replaced it straight away didn't even ask

Gun City chch.best in town

Glenn at Broncos is a great guy to deal with, buffalo Arms USA for harder stuff and magnum Imports. Lastly Gunworks

Oh and Upper Hutt gun shop has some interesting second hand stuff

Tairei Arms in Mosgiel.

Top service recently from them when I bought a Vortex, EGW rail and Warne rings. First thing that happened the screws were for a remington (in a tikka pack). So they sourced the correct ones from distributor, these did not fit my rifle either.
So I took the rifle down, they measured the thread and found that the pitch was out by 0.1mm. And the only way to mount the new scope was with some Optilocks, which Darren shouted the difference.
And when it was getting picked up the zip (which was already damaged) broke when zipping it closed, so they grabbed another one off the shelf at no cost to me.

Top buggers alright!!!

As for other gun shops down here...(wrong thread to comment)
