Thread: Good Gun Shop feedback

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

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

If you need anything picked up, let me know,Happy and I'll shoot gongs with it and check it out then send it on, all at no cost

If that is the case i gess it shows they are not in any way interested in helping fellow hunters or fishers out in any way and that it is only about the $$$$$.
Best deal with the small guy.

yep sure is. Used to be my go too for ammo and accessories where I knew what I wanted but as soon as I tried to buy a new rifle the service was shocking. Havent been back since
