I'm officially done with gun shows. I've been to about 5 in a row without buying something, this time I actually did score a pretty good deal, but it was just luck. I enjoy talking to the private sellers and looking at real gun collections that someone has actually hunted with and can tell you some history on. I don't care for all of the retail stores laying out their inventory. I ended up buying an H&R Handi rifle in 308 heavy barrel, came with a scope, sling and a box of ammo for $325 OTD. I was pretty pleased with that deal. Rest of the show sucked. Classic Firearms from Macon was there and it was hard not to cuss those people out. Theyre the biggest price gougers ive ever seen in my life. The guy in yellow shirt from "AR Parts Specialist" sold me a bad box of ammo and wouldn't take it back. 6 rounds were missing and 10 of them were random handloads. Was suppose to be a box of 200g 35 Whelen. I tried searching AR Parts Specialist, but that name is so generic that I couldn't locate the company to leave them a bad review.
Gun shows are nothing more than price gougers now. You're better off going to retail stores or gunbroker. Places like Adventure Outdoors, Southern Outdoors in Tifton, Barrow in Butler.
Anyone else go to the show in Columbus this weekend? Any other retail stores where you're having better luck?
