Default a couple places I like in Mercer County

I started dealing with Elite Firearms on 18 in Hermitage a little over a year ago. Howard knows his stuff, prices are decent, they get better the more you buy, hassle-free transfers, some cool class III stuff if that's your thing.

Finally stopped into Twig's Reloading Den on 62 outside of Mercer, I was having some problems reloading .357MAG and the kind lady there set me straight. Geared more towards reloading than gun sales, but a good place to buy components.

carterbeauford - I live in Mercer county and try to stop in any of the shops whenever I drive by.

I've been in Elite. They seemed kind of high priced to me, and more into the tactical stuff than hunting. The few times I've been there, they seemed nice enough.

Next time you are there, go around the corner on Dutch Lane (by Hickory Grill) and stop by the Gun Barn. Looks like a small shed, but John has a nice selection. If he doesn't have it, he'll order anything, and his prices are very good. I stop in often just to BS. Real nice guy.

Down in West Middlesex at the plaza next to Hogan's Hero's sub shop (stop in for a sandwich, tell Brenda that Ray says hi) is Shooter's Supply. Probably the grumpiest shop owner I have ever met. I do not visit his store any more. You can make up your own mind.

Just outside of Greenville on Methodist Road is Greenvile Gun and Supply (run by Dick and Maggie). Nice small shop. Prices are fair. Very friendly. You never know what you might find in the display cases.

Like you said, Twig's is geared more for re-loaders. Small selection, and I think her prices are high.

Did I forget any?

I was just up to Greenville on Tuesday. Thank goodness I did not know about these shops. I would have wanted to stop and really did not have any time.
