Gun Vault's "Black Friday" newspaper ad was featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Monday December 5th during Jay's "Headlines" segment.

Someone sent in the 'Bullseye Firearms Gun Vault- Where Santa Shops for His Guns' ad.

Funny thing, I was in the store on Monday to pick-up some SD ammo!

I stopped there yesterday with my wife on our way home from pittsburg for the first time and their gun prices were pretty decent, his powder prices were better than east coast's sale prices. My wife was looking at some new glocks and springfields and nathans customer service was great, we will be def. stopping again for a purchase.

Nathan and Matt are pretty aggressive buyers of quality used guns. If you are thinking of trading or selling a gun, especially Smith and Wesson handguns and Winchester rifles, swing by and let them make you an offer. Nathan also buys complete collections.

They are now a stocking Kimber dealer along with Glock, S&W and Springfield. Plus they sell several makes of AR platform rifles.

As the previous poster mentioned their prices on powder are really good and that is where I buy mine.

I always stop when in the are to see what is new.

I got a great deal on a used Sig P220 and Delta Elite from Nate. He's a big Sig fan as well as a 10mm fan! Usually always has some hard to find 10mm stuff on stock.

Against my better judgement after my previous over the phone experiences with the Gun Vault, my girlfriend and I stopped in to look for her first handgun.

Nate was eager to show us things in the case, we told him it would be her first gun and he explained things very well.
She really liked the SR9C he showed her, while she was thinking about it, a group of guys came in also looking for a handgun.
One of them was also looking at the SR9C and it was the last one in stock.

He said he would take it but Nate told him that she had been looking at it first and he would like to give her a chance to think about it since we were there first.
This is something she really appreciated.
We talked it over off to the side and while doing so, the guy pawing at it dropped the mag onto the floor, she kinda chuckled and said "that's Ok, he can have it".

Nate said he had some coming in and that if we decided we wanted one, to call and that he could even have one sent up to the Homer City store to save us some traveling.

I noticed some decent prices on a few of the used rifles, there was a good selection of holsters and other odds 'n ends.

What I found slightly irritating was that the long guns behind the counter are soooo far away and I couldn't see any tags.
He was busy with the other guys and although there were a few mil-surps that I would have liked to take a look at, I didn't feel the need to have him pull a pile of them over to the counter while he was doing paperwork on the other guys.
This setup always irks me at shops where this is done, there must have been at least 6+ feet between the front of the counter and the first rows of long guns, add to that the little tags and it is frustrating.
Ehh, just a pet peeve I suppose and it's done all over, so I'm not singling them out, just a typical design flaw IMO most shops do when laying out the place.
I think Mil-surps that have seen a battlefield could survive being out on the floor to be pawed at.


So,
I guess someone might have had a talk about the customer service, I can't complain at all about the service we received in person.

Even though we ended up buying somewhere else, she said that when she is looking again that we would be stopping back because of the way he talked to her about the guns, not like some other shops that directed everything to me and that she liked that he was "putting" up with our questions.

I'll stop in again.
