    There is something good about Gun City. They have a huge range of things you wont necessarily get or see elsewhere due to their size.

    When you do eventually see something you like, you can go in, handle it, then go get one ordered in to your local gun store for hundreds of dollars less

    All the gun stores are in retail and are trying to clip the ticket. If you're pally with some guys at your local you'll find prices come down by themselves and you can still always bargain to get things lower. I can't remember the last time I paid full price for a rifle or scope.

    If you pay anyone full price and you're not happy about it, guess who's fault that is

    I wouldn't want them to close, they have their place and the fact that they have flooded the country with semi auto centerfires has to be good for future firearms law changes. They also parallel import a lot of stuff (e.g. Beretta Shotguns) and that pushes the other prices down.

    I would prefer if they operated in a way that I didn't feel dirty whenever I buy something there (which isn't often).

    I've had some crap experiences with H+F too ... One branch owner in particular who's in it for the coin and doesn't give a shit for his customers.

    This thread would better serve the forum members if it were a more gen discussion on hunting stores.

    They haven't done shit with semi auto centrefires, have you seen the prices they want for ARs? And the appalling quality of the ones they do sell? Thank Digit, rather, for bringing in some competition

    I'll often poke my nose into GC, but I'll only buy if it is a bargain. Like the ammo I got that was obviously under priced by $100 for 100 rounds.

    I got gaps in my teeth Cleatus, but they not THAT small...

    Lemmie know when you;re next out and I'll line you up with the Hilux and the horn, and see how much you continue to hog

    What you talking smack for anyway.. you're far to fat and lazy to ride a bike nowadays.. but I bet that stretchy spandex still fits goooooood!

    Talking smack = bored.... I agree that cyclists can behave like dicks, but we dont REALLY need to try and kill them do we? Its funny - I ride a bike and I still hate most cyclists They ride 3 abreast here, fucktards!

    Spandex = I would probably need a 10L bucket of paint these days

    Road hogs = you city slickers havent seen anything! When you have a massive header, towing a bin which is towing a ute (all with a gigantic weave on) going down a canty back road its just a case of take to the grass or sit there at 30 till you can turn off anywhere!

    Gun city = there they are, in business and apparently doing well - must be doing something right? I guess you can go and buy a lot of nice gear straight off the shelf if you dont mind being reamed, I guess enough people dont mind being reamed?

    Nothing wrong with a GOOD reaming!. Depends on whether your the reamer or reamed and can remember. Seriously everyone is trying to make a buck, big flash stores usually have big flash costs that they are trying to cover so they will try for what they can get. Guess you can try bargaining with them, the worst they can do is say NO and lose a sale which will hurt if enough people do it, but you have to let them have a chance to do a deal first.

    gun city isn't a big flash store though, a vast amount of what they sell is terrible junk



    I'd be happy to pay inflated prices for actual nice gear that was hard to get, but nothing they sell is rare or interesting

    There is tons of absolute junk for sure - but they do have a good selection of TRG's, S&B's, McMillan 50 cal, flash shotguns, Desert eagles, AUG's blah blah blah sitting on the shelf if you want to pay their prices. I guess there are enough Oil Sheiks / Farmers / Strip club owners in CCH to buy them without even looking at the sticker price.
