Gun shops in Rochester

[Caveman]

Hey all, I just moved to Rochester from the Buffalo area last week.  I'm in the market for a used rifle and told a buddy I'd keep an eye out for a few items on his list.  I'm having really bad luck separating the good from the bad on Google.  Can anyone in the area point me in the direction of a few good shops in the area?  

[WNYBuckHunter]

Avon Gun, Beikirch's, Jackson Gun, The Lono Group to name a few

Looking for a pre-Remington Marlin 336C in .30-30.  I've finally decided I can't call myself a Northeastern deer hunter if I don't have a lever gun in my safe.

Give it back then buy a bolt action....................

Avon gun is about 45 minutes from downtown, South of Rochester. Small shop, and limited inventory but can order anything, very knowledgeable old school vet owns the shop.

Beikirchs is a large shop, good knowledable salesmen with a lot of instock options.15 minutes East of down town.

Both are good options

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.  I'll check them all out.  It'll give me an excuse to explore the area too.

Where in GODS name is the fun in that? 

 

A guy looking for some used iron will roll the dice and see what is on the shelf, 20, 30, 100 miles it don't matter!

 

.............who knows, maybe he'll spot a nice bolt action.

Victor Pro Gun had a lot of new levers in stock last time I was there.  I bought my Henry there but they had marlins.  They also have a pretty good selection of used rifles.  Worth a look.

Speaking of Gun Shops , I sure do miss the AppleTown Gun Shop that used to be in Williamson . The owner died , the shop closed up and they got rid of everything . It was a nice shop .

Sorry to break it to you, Moog, but according to the interwebs Pro Gun in Victor closed up shop back in April.  Is it the one on NY-96 you were talking about, or is there another location?

[moog5050]

That's the one.  Didn't realize that.  They always seemed busy.

From what I read on another forum, the owner was in poor health and looking to retire.  He made sure to emphasize that it wasn't for lack of business or a protest to the SAFE Act like when Jackson's closed.

You & me both! Was less than 2mi from where I live, really convenient! Old dude (Don DeMay..?) would talk your ear off if you mentioned MLs. Super nice guy and his wife too, who also worked there w/the paperwork end of the business!

 

Sorry for digressing, back to our regularly scheduled program...!

Pro gun in victor did have a great selection of used rifles, but as mentioned is gone!
