Great shop and Wes was very responsive to e-mails. Some decent pricing you can search for online. My xaction was easy and very quick. If you see it online just send a quick email to Wes and he can verify price and availability. Discount on ammo if you buy a gun! Nice touch!

I have been in this shop three times over the past twenty years.

Each time I went back I was hoping it would be better than the last time.

The customer service was terrible each time, and the last time I went in looking for a particular rifle the customer service was lacking and the guy behind the counter acted like I was bothering him. I was set on buying the rifle I had seen on their website, but when I asked about it the guy behind the counter said they didn't have it. I told him it showed in stock on their website. He said it was probably over in their warehouse. Due to lack of customer service, I left and will never return.

But, they actually did me a favor and saved me over $200 on the firearm I was going to buy, because I found it down the road at BiMart, and bought it.

They have lost a customer for life!!

I have been there a couple of times with money in hand looking to pick something up but attitude stopped me each time. I was interested in a left handed 30.06 which they currently didn't have in stock and was fine with ordering it. Wes was the one I was talking to and he just kept pushing me to a .270 he had in stock. He wasn't even interested in ordering the gun just wanted to sell what he had and started getting an attitude. Not a fan of getting talked down upon so I left.

Gotta admit, after buying 5-6 pistols in less than a year there, I had mixed experiences. Some good, some bad. Once trying to use my Davidsons lifetime replacement warranty they wouldnt let me trade even though I had already spoke to Davidsons and they said it was ok to trade calibers if the the caliber was not avaliable in the model I had purchased. That time every time I called I got the Wes is not around bit, so much for honoring that warranty.
Another time I had used my debit card to pay for $200 worth of a pistol, and when I noticed that the bill was $25 extra and asked Wes, he began to be loud and rude and tell me I should have known about the 3% fee for using a card! It would have been nice to have had it mentioned when I was getting ready to pay.

Bottom line is they have a great selection, but if you catch them on a bad day they may be rude and they wont honor davidsons warranties. I wont be returning again and thats sad!

Philomath Gun Shop has ALOT of guns amazing Selection, of everything... but their customer service Blows. unless your in there to buy you may as well as leave cause asking questions will only get you attitude. Im not going to say i will not ever buy from them, but they are my LAST resort with anything.

I took my first CCW class from Wes and have bought a few guns from him when I worked and went to school in Corvallis. Always had A+ service. If I still lived in the valley, he'd still be my first choice in gun shops.

I've been buying guns from Wes, Joanne, Bill and the gang for 13+ years at this point. (Hi, guys!) Back when they were in the old shop (Wes' house), even. I'd be ashamed to admit how many guns I've bought from them over the years, and I keep going back. Truly the way a gun shop "used to be", as opposed to the slick megamart approach you see way too much of these days. Usually a good selection of used guns, too.

I've bought probably 10ish guns from Wes, every sale was very professional and smooth. By far my favorite guns shop in the state. Best 1911 selection I've seen and super customer service. **** I drive 38 miles each way to his shop with out even thinking about it:)

This is my second posting in this thread. Well.....I lucked out and found them open and so I braked hard, parked badly and stopped in. They were a bit crowded so I had the opportunity to check out the inventory and most of the accessories. And I was able to see how they deal and interact with their customers.......my only reason for going in to start with.

One of the guys acknowledges me right away...good sign #1. Not just yet, thanks.

Three people working there....about 6-7 customers. . I wander a bit more, and look and listen as closely as I can to the various interchanges between customers and the staff. Two different gun sales in progress. Professional demeanor and civil treatment of customers. No talking down to customers or know-it-all blow-harding when answering questions. Good sign #2.

I see an interesting item or two in the used pistol cabinet, including a Savage 1917 double stack .380 sans blueing that seems priced right for its age.

And I have the necessary cash and then some now burning a hole in my butt. My wife is "not" patiently waiting in the car, we've come a hundred miles still have another 75 to drive.... and I don't want to do that with her ragging on me.... so I muster up some self-discipline and re-focus on the mission. The Savage had probably seen better days anyway.

So it thins out a bit, I ask for a box of ammo, instead of the Savage, and find that it is priced competitively. A little friendly chit-chat at the register, I pay and I leave with a fair-chase first impression.

Reminds me of the what many gun shops used to be.......... and what any shop today still could be.

Just bought a sweet Winchester Model 12 Featherweight from them. Once again they provide an enjoyable gun buying experience. I can not say enough about them. It has gotten to the point that when I am looking for a new Firearm, I don't even bother going anyplace else anymore, and its a 100 mile round trip for me. If you haven't checked them out yet, you should do so. They are good people.

I've had the preasure of obtaining multiple firearms (read around 30) and accessories from Wes and JoAnn both at their store and at gun shows. These are by far the best folks I have ever dealt with. Never had a problem, always helpful and ready to do what the customer needs.
Not only do I recommend them to my friends and family but to anyone who will listen.
GREAT FOLKS, GREAT STORE!!!

One of my favorite shops in oregon. Wes does special orders firearms for $20 over wholesale, which is by far the cheapest in the area. Some decent gear and ammo prices too (great leupold scope prices).

I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone in the midvalley area. I have bought about 15-20 guns here.
