  Scott's Gun R.A.C.K

  I spoke with Scott on the telephone and from that discussion I met with and he had several firearms for me to review. We then went to a shooting range where I was able to select with 100% confidence the right firearm for me. Scott spent considerable time teaching me the safety aspects of using a firearm. After my purchase he showed me how to clean it, and we went once again to the shooting range.

  Bill's Gun Shop and Range

  I have visited Bill's Gun Shop and Range on many occasions, both from the retail side as well as using their range. From a retail gun sales standpoint, they have one of the best selections in the west metro, with the possible exception of Gander Mountain in Eden Prairie. I used to think they were a bit on the high side when it came to price, but on more than one occasion, after shopping around, they are often times a little lower than many of the other businesses around. And if they don't have it, they are happy to get it for you. Plus, if you buy a gun from them, they give you a free range pass and a free gun rental (which never expires.) - a nice little perk. Plus, they stand behind whatever they sell and have their own in-house gunsmith. I've read a complaint that they seem understaffed at times and you may wait around for awhile to have someone help you. While I have experienced some longer wait times when they are fairly busy, once they started to help me I never feel rushed through or blown off and the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. I've also used the range several times. It is one of the few places in town to shoot inside and, frankly, I've been surprised that they aren't more expensive based on that fact alone. If you don't have your own stuff (eye protection, ear protection, targets, guns or ammo) the rental rates can add up fast, but most regular shooters will have all that. It is also one of the few places that have several different guns to rent, which although expensive, gives you a chance to actually try a particular firearm out before dropping several hundred dollars or more before potentailly finding out that you don't like it. And the selection that they have for rent is pretty good. I really like Bill's. It is well kept and one of your few and quot;one stop shopsand quot; in the West Metro area.

  The husband stated the spouse had gone to her office for the day. The reviewer questioned the husband regarding several providers the member had researched or maybe had used: Blueline Builders, Integrity Homes projects, or ackron for kitchen and bathroom remodeling, painting by Jerry Wynn for wallpaper removal , Murphy Brothers designer and remodeling for carpetry, wood working, or gutter repair / replacement. Denture labs for dentistry, certified nursing assistants for home health care or home health aides, Hearing Aids for ears, nose, or throat. The reviewer questioned the member regarding who he has used for car services i.e, car painting, transmission, or restoration. Tanning salon? The member then stated he works at home and does not have time for any more questions.

  Frontiersman Sports

  It is a very small shop but the guys who own it have been running it since the day it opened so they absolutely are probably the most knowledgeable about guns and ammunition in our area. If they did not have what we were looking for they were fine with sending us somewhere else; they would tell us where we could get it.

  Joe's Sporting Goods

  As most  gun owners know , Tikka T3 is foreign made so the sights are not universal. I had ordered a 30 mm scope and needed quick release rings. Well I called Bill's Gun Shop and was told that there is no gunsmith on site , but I could drop it off and they would call me when it was done. Well , I do not like waiting , and I definitely wanted it done . I tried but did not have the right tools. I called Joe's Sporting Goods and asked if they had a gunsmith on site.  I walk in and the sales attendants said to speak to the gunsmith.  Well Bob Iverson looked at the gun and said, I can pull the screws out for free and you can install it yourself or I can do it for $20.00. He said it could be done, that it would be done before 1:00 pm. In under 2 hours some one from the store calls and says my gun is ready. The job was done, quick, clean and he even left the allen wrench in a plastic bag so I could add Loctite or adjust it myself.

  GANDER MOUNTAIN INC

  Gander Mountain inc ran out of bullets so that wasn't too good. They do have more coming in but they get sold out as soon as they come in. They are good. I would use them in the future just because they are close.
