Hey thanks Pale_Rider. This site is a very interesting find. I know where I'll be for the next few hours. Looks like new sources with good deals. Just search PCP in the search tab.

Where to buy Airguns for good price
- Thread starter OldVet
- Start date
I’ve bought a zelos and a Notos from there for less than the price of a normally priced Zelos. Gun.deals has been around forever and I have purchased many firearms from them. Not sure what reason you have to dismiss it all together, but to each their own. I’ve probably purchased 7-8 guns from various sites on gun.deals. I even purchased a zelos that had damage and got a full refund and purchased one from a different vendor that came perfect. But whatever makes you feel comfortable

Maybe good maybe scam sites ?? I don't see using them right off .
What's funny on them sites is I never heard of them till recently .. real recently. Not any kinda long known shops I recall .
Then I'm a pa , aoa , midway , Walmart kinda guy .lol
I guess it's what you feels best and can't blame trying to save a buck ..

Sportsman's Guide is very reputable I shop there and gun.deals shows a .30 Blitz from Sportsman's for $629. Went directly to Sportsmansguide.com and sure enough $629. I'd say this is a search engine with some Affiliate links. gun.deals probably gets commission if you use their link to the store selling the item. They probably don't do a lot of research on all sellers so as always do your research on sellers before you spend your money. On the other hand if it really concerns you just buy the Blitz from PA for $799 and pay $170 more. As for me I'd buy it at Sportsman's Guide.

I think it goes without saying but be smart online shopping. If a gun is listed for $400 from frankspoopchute or $420 from Natchez, I’d pay $20 more to pick the more reputable site. You’ll find tons of similar deals from all over the internet. Check out the site, call the customer service, ask questions. I’ll go the extra mile to save hundreds of dollars. Hasn’t failed me yet, for airguns or firearms.

Seeing deals on gun.deals from RK Guns too. This is Rural Kings gun division. I've shopped there and at Rural King too. Clicked on the link just to be sure. Some of these sites may be lessor known mom and pops like Rural King and some could be scams. Again just do your homework really do the research before you buy. I've gotten some really good deals from places I've never heard of but the research showed they were a legit business so I pulled the trigger.

I guess the closest rural king here for me don't have air gun stuff . Or there site to look things over can't find anything I punch in like simple crosman , Daisy , ect... But 9 mm ammo or something you don't want or need several pages ..

A positive in buying from anywhere is offering PayPal as a payment choice.
From experience you are protected from monetary loss. Even used stuff through eBay.

Yeah Airgun stuff is harder to find being they are mainly for the real guns. I think it’s gun zone deals where u have to look under accessories to find Airguns.

I like PA, AOA and Midway too, just tired of their shell games and bs. AOA advertised my PBBA with a barrel insert and then said it didn't come with one. I held them to it and they obliged. Midway raised prices 30% and then sent me a 25% off coupon. Pyramyd sells the Blitz .30 for $100 more than Sportsman's Guide sells it to non-members. They need the extra $100 so they can give you bulls eye bucks and offer you a 10% discount with free shipping on a gun that might be a used return. That way you think it's a really great deal to get screwed by them. Please just offer me a new un-used product at a competitive price with free shipping and skip all the games.
That said I still shop with these vendors but I spend a lot of time sorting out their games and holding their feet to the fire. If their price and service are the best available then I'll buy from them. Don't even get me started on the junk Airgun Depot sells. Never got a working gun from them, not once. If I'm going to bust my rump to avoid getting screwed from known sources I'll do the work it takes to find new ones to replace them.

Gunengine.com let's you search inventories of multiple dealers.
Dack is one, usually near the top of the list.

I just searched PCP on Gun.deals and a lot came up. I think it's a great source to research potential vendors.

IMO sales & service go hand-in-hand.
That said
When I bought my first only new PCP (other than an ill-fated ATI Nova Vista Freedom a few years ago)
I came down to 3 choices
- Dealer 1:
Yes, we have enough parts to put one together for you
- Dealer 2:
Where you pay the online price and then pay more for them to fire it. Go to chat to discuss it
- Dealer 3:
Took the time to ask how I intended to use the rifle.
Listened when I told him the ammo weight & velocity desired.
Guaranteed it would be delivered fully tested & tuned.
All at a competitive price
And that's how it arrived
Without any bugs.
Not even a loose screw
The gun: Crown MKII, 22, 380 barrel
Thank you, Tony
Talon Tunes now @Talon Air Guns
For those of you old enough to remember game shows

The reason is: I’ve never heard of them in my 12 years of buying airguns. I guess a bunch of companies started selling airguns that don’t specialize in airguns.I’ve bought a zelos and a Notos from there for less than the price of a normally priced Zelos. Gun.deals has been around forever and I have purchased many firearms from them. Not sure what reason you have to dismiss it all together, but to each their own.

I really don’t know what reason people have for not using these companies. Like I already said, call customer service, ask about return policy, ask questions. Gun.deals also has accessories like scopes, bipods, and just about every peripheral for guns as well. They don’t specialize in airguns, as many of these companies probably don’t, but I wouldn’t pass on 30-50% savings because I haven’t heard of a company. I’ve purchased from a handful of these companies and had one issues that the company was prompt and down to earth about fixing for me, providing me a full paid return label to drop off at FedEx with 0 hassle. Do research, ask questions, don’t be clueless when ordering anything online.

A lot of scammers and scam sites in the airgun world nowadays. Hard to trust new sites. Even if they are legit I’ll stick to the reputable sites that have a customer service rep that knows about airguns and can help with parts or service. Not some clueless customer service rep that tells me to contact the manufacturer for parts/service because guess what? They don’t specialize in airguns. These Jonny come latelys are just trying to cash in on the airgun craze. Just like many of the newcomers here they likely wont stay the long haul. Yup, I’ll stick with the tried and true instead of trying to save a few bucks.
