Had a great day today - 200 miles and 5 shops

[hornadylnl]

I had a great day today. I rode 200 miles and visited 5 gun shops.

One is a shop called Downhams in Logansport. They still have a few ebr's. One was a new Bushmaster M4 at $1185 and another was a dissipator on consignment for $1100. They had some primers and powder as well. Talked to the owner about current pricing and he said he couldn't raise his prices like the other guys because he couldn't look his customers in the eye when they come back in 3 months. He had a decent ammo supply for today's standards. I bought some once fired 40 brass off of him a few months ago at $2.00 per 100. Nice small, personal type shop.

Next was Dunhams in Logansport. They had a Remington R15 at $1200. They had a ton of Federal Champion 22 50rd boxes at $2.19 each.

Bass and Bucks in Wabash had a bunch of primers and a ton of 40, 223 and 308. I didn't get prices on much of it as there were too many different kinds to remember. They've got a range that will go out to 750 yards and it is $15 a day to shoot.

Stopped at Down By the Tracks in Galveston as well. Another nice small town gun shop.

It was nice to finally get out and put some miles on the bike. Now if I just had some money to buy something!

It's outside of Wabash, Indiana. I'd say it's a good 2 hours north of Indy but if you plan on doing a lot of shooting, it would be worth the trip. They allow 50 bmg. No full auto though (we were talking about 50's when he said FA so that may not apply to smg's etc). He said $10 per hour or $15 for the day. Thats a no brainer. It looked like they had a 25 yd, 100, 300, 500, 750. I don't know the distances for sure. Once I get some glass on the 17, I'll bring at least 4 rifles up there. It's on the TomTom poi file that is on here. Just enter poi for Wabash and it will come up as Bass and Bucks. You may want to call on primer availability. He talked like several thousand had went out the door already today.

I just found their website. This page tells about the range. Bass And Bucks Archery And Sporting Goods

I also had a great day. i only rode about 150 miles but i stopped at the casino to drop a $20 and won $150 lol....

Dam I wish some of you guys would give a man a holler, I understand smokingman was riding today also. I live on my bike in the summer time lets put a ride together...

 

[hornadylnl]

I try to live on mine. I've had it 2 years and already a have 21k. Hopefully I'll put on 15k this year. I start riding when it is 30 degrees either on the way to or home from work.

So far, my longest day has been 605 miles.

I'd love to be out riding.. now, if I can just get my bike going..

Hey, didn't you say 5 shops? I only count 4.. though next time I'm going East I'll have to check out "Down by the Tracks", I've been through Galveston a few times and had no idea it was there..

I will be riding as soon as I get my sorry azz of here and go lol... Only a short trip today I have to be back by 2:30 and the wind looks like it really sucks lol. I will probably hit Bradis and Plainfield Shooting Supplies...

Bass n Buck is a family run shop. Great guy to talk to. good selection. I highly recommend. worth the drive any day. Great Bow shop too if you are into that also.

 

[rookie0014]

down by the tracks has primers but he will only let you buy 200 a day so unless you really need them it will not be worth a long drive
