You said you wouldn't mind a bit of a drive: Great Outdoors Gunshop Atwood, KS, not too far across the CO/KS border. Pretty good group of guys, Class II dealer, lots of cool stuff in their shop that's outside of 'normal'.

I have used this route for new rifles and have been happy with the results. However, I always have to personally examine anything that is used and will not buy online for them. Have a look at CDNN, Davidson's, Bud's, Lipsey's, etc.

I thought bout the out state tags but between buyin a rifle scope and then the 500 bucks for tags i couldnt afford it plus this give me a chance to scout and find a good hunting loc
Im leaning toward the buy online idea. There is a gun shop here in town but by the looks of it prob not gonna be able to get a deal there but they might do the transfer

I have bought my last 3 guns online. Found a guy that does transfers for $20. I don't think I'd ever buy one any other way now. I have no qualms about going to Gander, Cabelas, or Bass Pro and asking to handle a rifle I intend to buy online as I spend enough money at those places on other stuff just about every time I walk through their doors.

I agree. I went to the local gun shop by my old town. When i told the guy i found it online cheaper he all but ripped the rifle from me. When i went to the other shop i told him i found it online 100 off with shipping he said he couldnt help me with the gun but spent an hour talkin to me and i ended up buyin my sabots black powder and cleaning stuff for said muzzleloader and i ended being a return customer for him
Iv got a non hunting related project goin on. The local shop i use for that is alittle higher but the guy will spend hours helpin and explaining stuff to me so i pay little more for the help now im getting discounts and freebes cause he knows im loyal
