Gun Shows
Anyone been to a gun show lately? There is one comming to town this weekend and I haven't been to one since I was a kid. Wondering are there good deals to be had at these events? Hoping to find a 16 ga sxs to add to my grouse arsenal right now I shoot a 20 ga o/u.

The last couple I've been to haven't been worth my time, high prices with few guns moving.MN_GROUSE_GUY wrote:Anyone been to a gun show lately?

You have to go to enough of them to know what to look for and who to talk to. I find better deals on line most of the time.

Da8n that's a cute puppy in your avatar! I went to one last year in Bend, a small one. A lot of the people selling there are nothing more than busines's. They go to the show's where most people thing their getting a deal and charge to much. There are some good deals though if you look. Don't get your hope's to high but go. I like them when they are close to me. Seldom buy anything.
I pity the man that has never been loved by a dog!

Re: Gun Shows
The last couple I've been to around the Twin Cities area weren't worth the admission. I'd rather browse Gander Mtn., Cabela's, Scheels & a few of the local dealers. I like to browse online but prefer to see, feel & check the fit of a shotgun before I buy.

Re: Gun Shows
I did attend the one here in town and I was very dissapointed. I didn't have high expectations but this show was more like a knife show and junk show than a gun show. The only cool vendor was a guy selling pelts, so I did get a cool coyote and fox pelt to hang on the wall. Any decent sporting goods store had more guns than this show. Needless to say I wouldn't go again other than to add to my new pelt collection. I was thinking these things would have reps from gun brands but all they were were guys who think there guns are worth 2 times more than they really are. Also vendors selling crap that has nothing to do with anything, but there was a raffle station which had alot of cool guns to be raffeled off so I bought a chance at that.
