Thread: Gun city's coming to wellington!

Ah jeez, started yesterday morning with some old duck with her panties in a twist.

Tim Fookes is such a drama queen, listening to his "outrage" should be good for a laugh.

Gun city were in Wellington before but didn't last long

I popped in there today. They are still moving in, so was a bit of a shambles. Opening sale this weekend.
Staff seemed pleasant and helpful. Clientele looked a bit different to what I see in mainly hunting. Leather jackets, pony tails, big sheilas. Plenty of black guns, shit ammo and some nice stuff. Saw a nice gun bag.

But I will stick to Mainly Hunting. They have served me well. No real reason to not be loyal.

Well I normally buy from reloaders mostly due to price, service and choice, so one over-priced gunshop with poor stock replacing another in Wellington is hardly going to make my day.

regards

yeah lack of stock puts me off.. especially when its advertised on sale etc.

good prices too

Ya Petone gun shop is where I had been getting my stuff from so far as the price is reasonably good and the guy there is fairly nice all the time and lets me feel the new guns knowing that I have just gone there to get ammo..

GC is having a sale this weekend 7-8th and if you happen to hop in there to check dont forget to take the brochure which you got in your mail box to get a free cap..lol

Petone gun shop is open on saturday mornings.

I'll go have a look at gun city but doubt Ill ine up at the door for the $1 gun.
Yep Brian, I remember gun city in wellington on Victoria St......about 25 years ago.

Just had geeze at the shop!! busy busy busy.Quite a few cheap fire arms shop isn't fully stocked yet but seams like a good shop,good luck wellington Gun city.

I think the Zatavas are cheap, but everything else pretty much matches all other shops

Drove down from Palmy early with thoughts of a $1 rifle.....
Got there too late (9:15am) and the shop was packed shoulder to shoulder.
LOTS of guns going out the door - which is fantastic! The more shooters in NZ, the better!
Disappointed I didn't see the sandal-and-sock anti-gun brigade out picketing, could've been quite funny.

Pretty much no ammo left by the time I walked out the door (empty-handed!) but did head further down to the quieter and more knowledgeable environment of Mainly Hunting, were I bought 100rnds of Hornady .223 for $120.

Its the shit that horny 223 ... Sent Thru a cuppla hundred prior to starting reloading
