Same box of ammo cost $10 more at GC than H&F down the road. I got caught out. In my defence, a) it's hard to find ammo so jumped on it and b) I can't believe H&F had it in stock and were actually cheaper than another store. If H&F had a decent website, they might get a bit more business. Anyway, lesson learnt, it pays to shop or at least phone around.
I will be fair looking at HF online for ammo is a bit vague
What ammo were you looking for...for academic reasons of course :)
that surprises me not in the slightest......gunshitty doesnt get a penny of my hard earned coin......seen far to much price gouging over last 20 years so chose to shop elsewhere.
I went down to Dunedin 2 weeks ago, a brick of 22 ammo at guncity was $20 more than Hunting & Fishing
I really struggle to understand why a nation-wide franchise have such a dog balls puke of a website to navigate through...Quote:

Now I've stocked up on expensive 300BLK rounds, there is less urgency. I'd be reasonably confident taking the 300BLK for a deer hunt in the right circumstances.Quote:

My mate has one. Liked it more than the Tikka in terms of ergonomics, but if I go bolt action, I want something lighter.Quote:

love how gun City has "from" on some of there prices. I went fishing to the back of a stack of tins and wouldn't you know it, behind the new improved prices was the 10 dollar cheaper tins of same pellets, and got 4 of them for that price.
Glad to say I've never bought a firearm from either.Quote:
