Who is your favorite supplier when you need all the airgun things you cant live without? Where do you look first, and why? Is it because of price, service, items always in stock, quick ship, established account? Is your favorite PA, Airguns of Arizona, Straight Shooters, or ...... ?

I'm new to this game and looking for one source that I can got to for all my needs. All comments, discussion appreciated.

I start at AOA. Friendly service and great prices. For Pellets I start with PA buy 3 get 1 free is just a great deal and shipping is fast. I have also used straightshooters like AOA just good people to deal with

For most supplies I will go to PA for prices ,coupons, and fast service.

On bigger buys like airguns I try to use the smaller guys.

I use pa. Everything I have ordered so far has been cheaper there. Selection is also better than aoa. If you have a bps or cabelas they have great prices in store sometimes that are not avaiable on line.

Pa has fast shipping and great deals. U can usually get coupon codes from people on here for 10% off.

Yes, the deal on pellets at PA is great. I tried to place an order for pellets with them this AM. Couldnt get a promo code to work; I tried "nra pyramid", "pyramid nra" and "summer 2010". None of these worked, so I called them to find out what they were using now. The girl didnt give me a code, but took the order over the phone and gave me 10% off, plus the "4 for 3" deal! Great service with no hassle.

Pyramyd for my stuff. But I recently ordered some high end guns from Straight Shooters and am extremely happy with them.

Just sent my Izzy 46M back to PA for repairs. First time with a problem, I'll see how they handle it.

Bought a Crosman G1 Extreme from Dicks Sporting Goods and just today bought a Remington Vantage 1200 (on sale for $99) from Dicks.

You may have entered the code wrong when you tried it, its "NRA-pyramyd"

Once I thought I would give a smaller place my buiseness. I chose Airgun Warehouse.

[ enough said ]I have used Pyramyd for all my online orders since. I have never had a problem, and the pellets were packed so well they could have thrown them from the plane over my house and they would have been fine. I will stick with them. I would however trust suggestions from the GTA family.

I go to PA first. With the free shipping on orders over 100 bucks, the "buy 4 tins, get one free" deal, or the 10% off codes, its not often that I find a better deal. However, I would like to point out a few things.

StraightShooters checks out the guns before they ship them, and I think AoA does that too. PA charges for that service. In my opinion, if you call StraightShooters on the telephone, you may be talking to someone who has a negative/short tempered attitude.
OpticsPlanet has some good deals and most orders over 29.99 ship free.
NatchezSS has some really good sales on optics and even airguns sometimes.
AoA carries some pellets that other businesses do not.
MidwayUSA has some good sales.

It takes some shopping around to get the best deal, but PA is where I start. I have not had any problems with PA over the years that I have been doing business with them.

For commodity items like pellets, PA is hard to beat. OTOH, when I bought my AA S410, I first tried through a local dealer, but he didn't return two phone calls. I then did some online research and called Straightshooters. They were very helpful, knowledgeable and I purchased the rifle through them. They were also very helpful in dealing with a warranty issue, and I was glad for their service in connection with my first purchase of a quality PCP. Some have said that one of the owners can be a bit brusque on the phone, but personalities aside, I've always received full and complete information and been satisfied with the exchange whenever I've spoken with either one of the two owners. SS gets a thumbs up from me for non-commodity items. I was also very satisfied with Airhog for providing my CF tank and all fittings and they too, were very approachable on the phone.

I have been dealing with PA for the most part. I don't think that will last. I am looking for another supplier.

I've used PA, sometimes with terrible results.It always has had to do with pricing of the guns I ordered. When I can't resolve the trouble using all means available, I email the head guy and he's always fixed my problem.That said, I don't use that route for everything I feel is wrong, only when I know I'm getting the short end. I've contacted Mr. Coughlin 3 or 4 times over the past 5 years.I do buy my pellets from PA, however. For guns, I use StraightShooters, R&L Airgun, and I have bought from PA as well. I find Kevin at StraightShooters and Randy at R&L good guys to work with.
