Observations from the Stockton Gun Show

[gsc3zny]

Holy crap!! These vendors need to check internet and local prices before they price there products. Ammo was pretty hi priced, .50 for .223, other ammo very expensive. I don't know much about old guns, but there were plenty of of old ones there, but seemed very expensive. Overall very disappointing. spent my 10 bucks and didn't see anything. some of these vendors think pretty highly of there stuff. Am I off base here? what are other attendees opinions?

That's pretty much the impression I get from every gun show I've been at. The only thing I'd mention differently is the number of vendors with fake Chinese crap or airsoft quality optics and red dots.

Thats the same reason I stopped going.

[ElvenSoul]

Gun shows suck anymore!

[gsc3zny]

no more for me. Online it is

GunShows = Shamwows & Beef Jerky!

[Rickrock1]

That's why I haven't been to a gun show in over a year.

[gcvt]

How were the beef jerky prices?

[Dano3467]

I'm on the fence about gun shows. Really like going, but don't buy much as the OP has stated HI $$$ to product ratio...

But do enjoy checking out all the stuff, and make a day of it.

That said I may purchase ammo if and only if it's fair ( NO GOUGE )

And yeah, Big Reno in April, will probably go, I'll may hate myself later...

Gotta get me some shamwowz!

The internet has pretty much replaced the singular reason for gun shows' existence through the 1990s.

The big one in Sac on the 29th will be better. They had Fiocchi .40 for $18, and saw some 9 for $15. it was a bunch of stuff that wasn't very good.

One guy on the inside corner when you turn left had some good prices on his .22lr Rifles.

saw another charging $70 for 325 rounds... of .22

No you nailed it! Did you see the guy selling American Eagle 22lr "40" round boxes for 10 bucks!! I ended up walking out with nothing also...

[TruEdge]

Was a little bummed I didn't get to make it this year to the stockton show but now I'm glad I didn't! I can go to cabelas and use my club card with 5 dollar shipping and still get better deals.
