Thread: Good Gun Shop feedback

Craftys in Hasting is always good. Also started shopping at Action outdoors in Napier. Very good guys in there.

As per EBF,

Online shopping - reloaders & workshop innovation.

I will add shootingstuff.co.nz, and so far petone gunshop have been fine, but Ive not made a warrantee claim off them yet.

Ive delt with quite a few others, some I dont go back to from choice if only for price, one I might be shortly in a disputes tribunal with, their response to my warrantee claim was disappointing to say the least.

I popped into Mainly Hunting on the weekend, bought some small ticket items but was super impressed with their service. I loved how every person that walked in was greeted by name.

Plus, they have a 600kg stuffed Grizzly bear that they let me cuddle :-D

That's impressive. Suggests that the people are returning customers. Either that or they're mind readers...

Beazzies at xmas? be careful Dougie

would have to say ryder sports in Kaitaia. They know there stuff.

A big no bloody way on H&F Kaitaia.
At the end of our big possum contract up there all the boys wanted to shout themselves new toys.
2 tidy shotguns went across the counter.
The big guy was keen on a Ching chong AR15 that had 2600 on it.
Due to paying cash he was 100 bucks short so offerd 2500 cash ,the guy having just sold us 3k worth of shot guns wouldn't budge on a 100...

I wonder if that is hunt fish franchise policy? Seems a re occurring theam.

Anyone whose been in business for themselves will know , that the cheapest business you'll ever do, is return business. the only way you get that is by going the extra mile, customer service.

And

Remembering, that you're only as good as your last job .., that's what people remember.

These may sound like platitudes but they are a winning formula for many.

So very selfless of you @Maca49 !!

Stirling Sports Richmond stikes again.

Popped in for a chat on the way home from work.

Picked up 3 different Browning B725's (Hi Rib trap model, 30 and 32 inch Sporters) and to cut a long story short left with one after my eftpos card magically lept outa my pocket and swiped itself. Can you hear my wallet whining??

Did take a bit of explaining to the better 1/2 when I got home too.

Bloody James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep went in to Stirling Sports Richmod yesterday - didn't speak to James but instead spoke to his dad - even my wife is now convinced that I probably need a hunting rifle AND a .22 to go with it! Awesome

Told Ya, "convincing the wife" is a free service they offer to those in need of it.

I don't need it luckilly..........., mine just says "buy what you need"......................

If you want to have a try at Clays or Pistol shooting let me know, I can introduce you to lots of shooting sports to help empty your wallet faster (at Richmond Sports of course).
