West side gun dealers
« on: March 04, 2011, 12:24:57 PM »
Can you guys chime in and give me the name of your local gun stores/dealers on the westside. I live up north so I know about kesselrings, Daves, Yeagers and Sportsmen's wherehouse. I just got the tax return and it's time to start shopping. :IBCOOL:

What are you looking to buy?  Some stores cater to different crowds.  Also how far are you willing to drive?
There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

Kesselrings has by far the largest selection in Whatcom/Skagit.  Nice folks too.

What are you shopping for?

Kesselrings probably has the best  selection in the state.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

:yeah:  And it's not just the stuff on the floor.  They have all kinds of stuff back in the storeroom too.

Now if you're looking for something common like an 870 it might make sense to shop around.  Otherwise I'd head down to Kesselrings toy store!

If you like the tactical stuff, Wade's in Bellevue has a good selection.  They have a difficult time keeping anything in stock that has ever appeared in a video game, though.

I want to price a remington R-15. I have been watching them on gunbroker and I want to see if some of the local shops can get close to the prices on there. With the price of diesel right now I dont think I would go further south than Seattle. Unless I could make up the fuel cost by saving on the rifle.

Yeah Kesselrings is one of my favorites and I have dropped alot of coin there over the years. But sometimes they are a little on the higher side. Just looking at the competition.

Wades definitely has a good selection but the prices are horrible.When I buy a gun I normally call around to find the best price and they are almost always the highest.They quoted me $2700 for a rifle I ended up buying at discount guns in federal way for $1600.

Not to mention, everyone that works there is an a$$hole and they think their sh!t don't stink. I wouldn't give them a dime (well I did about 17 years ago but won't again).

I will definately keep that in mind. Can't stand people who make their living off me and think they are better.  >:(  But I will check their prices. Thanks for the information guys keep it coming.

Agreed, wouldn't buy anything there....same for The Gun Room in Portland...nothing but a**holes, know-it-alls.
Surprised noone here has mentioned DJ's in Bothell, possibly some of the most eclectic inventory and some real knowledge.

These guys look they might have some good prices. But currently they don't have what I'm looking for. Some of those bushmaster prices look pretty tempting though.

+2 for West Coast those guys are awesome and sometimes I just stop to BS and see what they have in that day.
   LowPriceGuns in Bellevue is great too, Jason was the only one that had a mossberg 535 field/deer combo when I wanted it and at a price that beat Wade's by about $200 (and a month wait).  He threw in a box of buckshot when I picked up the gun and remembered who I was when I came back in to see if he had any AR mags.  I would rather cut off both my pinkys before going back into Wade's for anything except to use the head.
