Thread: Good Gun Shop feedback

I've always had good experiences with Serious Shooters in Ellerslie. I'm on a first name basis with the guys there and they always look after me and give me a good deal.

The latest was a bought a new torch online from them and one of the guys recognised my name and chucked a note and a free little torch in there too. Choice

Local Hunt @ Fish shop are good buggers even if @Neckshot isn't working on the day. Possum trapper gets his broad head arrows sharpened for free. He also went in to buy a parrie caller but they were out of stock so the good cnut lent him is electronic bird caller.

Thanks for the heads-up, though they're not really local to me so I wasn't planning on it. Scored a scope below half price there once though which was nice.

i gotta say the hunting & fishing in whakatane has good service and are pretty helpfull

I have had bad experiences with Guncity in Auckland and Christchurch, but I placed an online/phone order with a lady in Christchurch and she was very helpful and easy to deal with.
So she restored some faith in GC to me.

Just had some excellent service from Ross at Sportways Gunshed.

Ross is a good guy, he has liberated a lot of $ from my wallet :-)

Vern wilsons in te awamutu is not too bad either. Pretty good ammo prices. $7 difference (ie cheaper) on a box of .22 ammo than from a big green 'out there doing it store' . Maybe I shoulda being ' online buying it' (rolls eyes).

Are you saying that .22 at the green is $14 for a pack of 50 rounds?

I would recommend Petone gun shop to the Wellintonians. The guy their is very helpful and tries helping you out in all ways.

I bout my 6.5x55 from there and am buying my ammos and other stuff from there too. I went in there yesterday to get ammo for my weekend trip and started a conversation with him.

Told him about the problem of standard weaver rings not fitting my scope rail. He asked me describe the rail and upon that he advised that the right rings would be the Parker Hale which is english product.. He even googled it to show me the right one and said he will keep a watch if he finds one too..

Really appreciated his help as that gave me the info to put up here asking fellow memebers if they have spares that they would like to sell. The good news is the @Maca49 has asked me to PM him as he has spare sets..

Recently dealt with Wayne at Magnum Imports in Wgtn - clear communication, straight talking and went the extra mile sourcing some product on back order-
He'll be seeing more $$ from me in the future

Tell the bastard to give you his cousins discount! And I'll trawl a bit more business for him!
