Cheapest ammo in Victoria?

Post by halfcocked » 29 Jun 2016, 10:39 am

Wheres the cheapest ammo in vic?
I found a place online in seaford but doubt they post to regular joe citizens. They dont allow pickups. Ive emailed them.

Stores local to me are
Game hunter. Epping
Sunbury firearms
Gun emporium. Tullamarine.
One in st albans.
Whats your thoughts on these stores price wise and i guess customer service if you wanna throw that in?

Try centreway firearms in Wyong st, Keilor. John and Paul are good guys. If you buy a few boxes they will usually knock a few bucks off already fairly cheap ammo.

Wheres gunco? Good to know they're good chaps to deal with.
Any idea on cleaning rod prices and .22 ammo? I plan on buying several brands even the expensive ones to test out.

Game hunter is great on pricing but have limited stock but the boys are good there mostly

Gunco is average but have everything under the sun and if you get the right bloke have bang on service,

They are my regular haunts

Won't really bother with the rest

Heading for a family day trip to rosebud managed to stop at centerway then mielles in Frankston. Mrs and kids were overjoyed "thought you said you'd be 5 mins" lol.
Hey its payback for all her " just a quick look" when we're at the shopping centre.
John at centerway was excellent. Helpful and gave good info. Patient with my nooby questions even with the phone ringing and non-stop customers. Knocked few dollars off every item! Got proshot .17 rod with jag and copper solvent. 250 patches and 4 different packs of ammo for $100 even....he discounted everything then STILL rounded it down. Would highly recommend.
Frankston was a big store but seemed more expensive. Got a nylon brush for .17 $10 and pack of rws hv .22 for $16.
Will checkout gunco next. Prob shotty ammo and .22 brush

Been going to centreway for years, they give good honest advice and service. Give good prices on guns too. I bought a Howa barrelled action from there, ordered it in and paid the deposit. When I went to collect it he said "turns out I got a better price than I thought" , so he knocked a further $90 of the price, even though I was there with the cash, ready to pay the agreed price. They own the shop and serve in the shop so they give a crap about how it's run.

Pretty bloody awesome ey. Most people would pocket that $90.
Reputation is everything in business so i think the guys running the store have a good head on their shoulders.
Anywhere else that people would recommend?
