Best place to buy a rifle in Lafayette.

[CZowner07]

I am looking to buy a Browning A-Bolt w/ boss. Where would be the best place to purchase this rifle in the Lafayette area.

Also I am looking at 7mm mag, 7mm WMS or 300 WMS. Any suggestions on this? My dad has this rifle in 7mm mag and only one deer has ever ran after it was shot.

I had a 7mm mag and loved it. Shot MOA or better and was a hell of a hog slayer. I'd stay away from Lafayette Shooters. Most things are overpriced and they've managed to convince me that I'm invisible because everytime I go in and ask for something they ignore me.

Definately will stay away from Lafayette Shooters

Check out Buckfins and bows or Acadian outfitters. If they cant help you my buddy has a gun shop in Jeanerette and has real good prices.

I will check out buckfins this week. Jeanerette isn't too far either

lafayette shooters is ok i found some good deals over there before it just depends on what your looking for dont avoid them all together.

Buck, Fins and Feathers is GTG and Acadiana Outfitters (on Hwy 90 between Lafayette and Jeanerette) is a master Browning Dealer with great prices - like Grits said. They mount and zero your scope for free. I got my son's A-bolt there and saved around
$150+. Alexander's in Jeanerette is also GTG but may take a while to get your gun in.

I agree. I bought my rifle from Buckfin. I hear good things about Dave's if he has it in stock. Either way, I try to support local first and hit up the Internet if prices are more than 50 bucks cheaper OTD.

Zeroing is no problem. My dad is the guy who all the people on our hunting list go to zero their rifles. I also have a swarvoski and leupold to choose from so I wont be needing a scope. I will have to check out Acadian outfitters and buckfins and feathers. Thanks!

This.

I haven't purchased a new firearm since BF&F opened but I like the guys working there, so when time comes again, I'll be paying them a visit.

Acadiana Outfitters is a nice place. They don't have a big selection in stock, but their willingness to help more than makes up for it. My last two firearms came from them. One was a transfer that was done without me getting "the evil eye". The other, I found what I thought was a good deal but needed a transfer. I went over to do the paperwork in advance and casually mentioned what I wanted to get. Guy got on his computer and gave me a quote right then and there for the rifle that was better than the "deal" I'd found. They had to order it, but I was expecting a transfer anyway...

Went price a synthetic stalker a-bolt 300wms with a boss at buckfins and feathers. It was 799 plus tax.

sometimes shooters does put some super nice rifles on sale in the off season, they have some rude employees however.

Every time I visit Shooters, I dress down as much as I can...shorts, work shirt, my oldest sneakers etc...

No one bothers me while I"m looking around

 

[rabiddawg]

I get the feeling I am being watched every time I go in Snooters. Especially if I don't buy anything.

I also agree that the employees behind the gun counter are very rude to ignore people so much. They have lost my business more than once because they made eye contact with me and then turned the other way. I only go there if I absolutely have to.

How was their price compared to others?

If you happen to stop at Shooters to look at a rifle, ask for Joe or Chris. You will be more than pleased and probably overwhelmed at the knowledge they have.

I had this same experience also. It could have been the way I was dressed because I was still in work attire and was a little untidy. I ended up getting my rifle from Academy.

Haven't had a chance to price them anywhere else, but from looking in the Internet that was the cheapest Ive seen. The cheapest on the net was $815 then you would have to paykfor the transfer fee.
