Favourite gun shops between NYC and Buffalo

[left field]

I'm driving up to Canada for Christmas - through the Catskills to Binghamton then up to Syracuse and across to Buffalo. Any favourite shops along the way? Mostly interested in older shotguns.

Thanks.

That’s a pretty big area to check out. 

Itll take you forever to get to your destination!!

I think your best bet is go online see what you want then find out where it is at .And take a drive up to see it .

Biekirchs people are generally good to deal with.

That turns @Biz-R-OWorld post into "That's a whole lot of Dick's and Gander Mountains on the way LOL" and it just doesn't seem to sound right.

I normally shop online and decide which one I like then I go to a couple of shops near NYC and have them order them for me.  Usually it's Davis Shooting Sports.  I've also used RT Gun and Smoke if I don't want to have to drive that far (they're in Mt Vernon) but I like Davis' service much better.

I second Marino's if you like old shotguns. He has a ton of older stuff in there. Stop to eat at the Circle E diner just down the road for lunch or dinner. Have the coleslaw. It is 5 stars!!

Only place I buy , well I did buy a Glock from the Firing Pin , through the blue line discount program , as there was no wait time .Brand new Glock 19 for around $400.

Biekirchs is very good , staff has been working there 20-30 years , I deal with Jim he sits in the corner of the counters .

If you're police / fire they'll hook you up pretty good .

But over all they know there sh!t .

East Rochester , NY right off rt 490 .

Jim is honest.  When I wanted a sako, he told me to buy from eurooptic and ship there since they couldn’t match the price.

Bob Lounsbury Sporting Goods in Middletown NY. Nice collection of old guns there.

Big dog arms in Roscoe right off of rt 17 But for what you are looking for fur fin and feather in Livingston manor.... also right off of rt 17 they have a ton of old guns

Binghamton area, Mayhoods in norwich is probably one of the better spots for shotguns, also boltworks tactical in dryden has lots of used guns. 

 

[Hock3y24]

frankin sporting supplies in locke ny is a bit out of the way but have dozens of used brownings in great shape.

Thanks.

I've been to Marino's, Fur, Fin and Feather, and Big Dog. Will check out the others. I guess I should have said more the Syracuse, Rochester area. 

[vizslas]

Johnson's in lockport is a good place and I would recommend the Harlem road gun center. I am so glad that Gander mountain is closed that store was just garbage.hated it. they would lye about sales and never anything you wanted  and everything you didnt want.

[wolc123]

I like Johnson's in Lockport.  They have always treated me fair.

American Shooter Supply 1702 Central Avenue Albany NY (Colonie NY)

Just off exit 24 of the NYS Thruway-right on your way!

[turkeyfeathers]

We have a Cabelas in Cheektowaga which is right outside Buffalo and immediately off the Thruway. 

[grampy]

Gunsmoke, in Rotterdam, off Cambell Avenue, right off 890 and very easy to find, and easy to get back to the Thruway too. They have just about anything you would want, at a fair price. The staff is always helpful, professional and knowledgeable. 

American Shooter Supply, that sherlockgael mentioned, is also very good here in the capitol district. Very friendly, and professional.

Tim's Guns in Elbridge (between Camillus and Auburn) is a nice shop, good selection very helpful staff. Ra-lins in Syracuse is ok, but only of you are in the immediate area.
