Valley Guns II

Man were they busy, the place was packed, on a Saturday. They were also very helpful, when I asked about a shotgun. The selection of shotguns was pretty sparse, but they had a big selection of handguns, and hunting rifles, and about 30 ARs. The prices of the guns in General were higher than I expected, but not ridiculous. The ammo prices were the best I’ve seen in this area so far, so that is a bonus, I quickly realized they had a shooting range, which might be downstairs, that is also a bonus. I’ll be back to this one as well.
This place was a little hard to find, but GPS got me there.
I’ll definitely come back to this spot.

Valley Guns II is a great store, so long as you don’t care about customer service.
To put it simply, if your a first time gun buyer do not shop here.
The first thing you will notice when going in is that there is absolutely nowhere to stand. Between the shelves and the shoulders you wont be able to see a lick of the handguns they have on display. The second thing you will notice is that it takes 10 min just to get someone to come over and show you a gun. But don’t take your time looking at it, holding it or getting used to how it feels in your hand or you will get the Hawkeye impatient stare from your 1 of 5 guys behind the counter who are racing to sell as many weapons as possible each day.
You will leave with a gun, that’s for sure… but also leave behind any feeling of confidence in your purchase as you were rushed into a sale without handling many fire arms.
I’ve purchased 2 guns here and they will be the last 2. Both sales went the same way.
Maybe I’m just old school but I like to shoot the shit with my dealer, and have a good talk about a weapon before I drop 2k, moving meant leaving behind my old dealer.
Oh yea, they aren’t «Budget shooter» friendly. their indoor range doesn’t let you bring your own ammo unless its «lead free» indoor ammo which costs around $ 25 dollars for a box of .45 compared to less expensive target ammo at around $ 16, and that’s after you pay the expensive range fee for only 30 min of time.
This place is only geared to make money. My old dealer would let you shoot for free on the indoor range and give you a box of ammo to do it with when you purchased a gun at his shop. He believed in sending you away confident and practiced with your fire arm. He’s still in business and has been for over 30 Years.
In short… This one’s moving on to greener pastures and hopes the Shenandoah Valley has some.
