I came here with my father to get some magazines and cleaning supplies for my Ruger 10/22. The very nice gal, Lyla, manning the register was an absolute pleasure to do business with. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and respectful! I can't wait to come back here and spend my dad's money!!! Thanks guys ;)

Just to be clear, anyone who says they have to wait sometimes, it’s because of how they do business. The owner is takes the time and helps you with all you need from start to finish. It’s first come first serve, she won’t stop helping a customer to help you, same as she won’t stop helping you to help someone else. Can’t recommend this place enough, very proud they are my local shop.

Recently brought my wife in to purchase her first firearm. The the owner and Greg were so patient and helpful, I was so impressed. It’s no wonder this shop has been in business 60+ years. She and I couldn’t be happier with our purchase, our first stop for all our shooting needs.

Visited and purchased at this location recently. Lady and fellow at store could not have been nicer. They have really great prices and they even gave me a slight break on the accessory that I purchased with the item.Update: I visited the store again. I was able to find ammo for a very hard to find caliber for a single shot rifle that I own. The lady at the shop, could not have been nicer, again!

Very friendly and very helpful. Every conversation about used pistols so far has demonstrated a solid knowledge not only of the model but of the individual weapons history. Every used pistol I have asked about has been test fired by the people behind the counter - I was scoffed at when I asked someone at another NH store if the used weapon had been test fired. Pricing is decent, not the cheapest, but the quality of service provided comes with a slight cost. That said, pricing is well in line with reasonable expectations.

Terrible place. Been here twice. Over paid for a background check - 50$.. everywhere else is HALF that price! Totally rude. Their guns are marked up in price that as soon as you walk out the door the value has dropped 50%! Inconvenience is how you're treated. Was escorted out by the cops, and the old lady hid in the back as soon as she saw them come in, apparently she didn't want to see me being escorted since she had called them down! Coward. Will NEVER do business here again. I was warned, i didn't listen.. now you've been warned, hopefully youre smarter than I was and take your business ELSEWHERE! After 3 HOURS of the run around, I get escorted out! How pathetic.

Great gun shop. Amazing selection of hunting and reloading supplies. They can get you anything you need in a hurry. I've been shopping here for many years and buy gift certificates for family around the holidays. Always get an honest and educated answer to your gun related questions.

I love this LGS.. I'm always treated with respect! The owner is a sweet Lady and her helper (Jeff) is a pretty cool dude (Ex LEO). The prices are average, but there is no State sales tax (Live Free or Die... Yaaaay). The selection is good... Lots of used guns and rifles! I generally buy ammunition and accessories here! All in all it's pretty cool for a NH gun store! I will be back for more!

This shop is a true gem. Being a recent gun owner and not knowing much, Leila was very patient and instructive with me. She gives it to you straight and doesn't try to upsell you on anything. Very happy to give Welchs my business - i'm a customer for life now.

I have been treated well there. Leila is knowledgeable and considering the responsibility she carries on her shoulders, handles it all well. She values her regular customers. During this latest ammo shortage she limited sales so everyone could have a chance to get ammo and if you bought a gun you'd be able to buy ammo for it. If you are a jerk, she'll put you in your place. Fifteen years and I'm still a regular.Maybe I could find it cheaper somewhere else but the fair and honest service I get there more than makes up for the few bucks I may save elsewhere, where they don't know my name when I walk in the door.

I have had nothing but good luck here. I buy mostly reloading stuff here, and I do very well. The staff knows you when you walk in, and I have been treated well every time. It's easy to post an anonymous bogus review on the Interweb; I would remind people to consider the source.

Today I drove about an hour or so to this store, at first the man was helpful with my questions but then as I told him I was from out of state he and the older lady began to change. I already knew about the laws from NY where I am from but it seemed as if the older lady wanted to find anything she could so she would not sell me a gun. The man kept going back and forth saying he could and couldnt sell the gun to me when finally I was in the checkout process he gave me some papers to sign. I ended up not being able to purchase the gun because I was truthful and told them that the address on my ID was different than where I lived (still valid), this I did not know would end the whole process. So I was a little dissapointed and to add to the dissapointment the man and lady were very rude and disrespect to me since my address was different. Don't know if it was because I was from a different state or what but It seemed as if, from the start, they did not want my business. WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN.

Lila is a wonderful person, whose biggest thrill in life is to sell you a gun. She has a very high level of trust from the ATF from my experience and she will definitely refuse a sale if the law requires she does. If she didn't sell you a gun you should consider yourself lucky, she was protecting your interests as well! Lying on an ATF form or trying to buy a gun with a bad ID is a federal crime!

I like this store a lot. The staff are friendly and helpful. This store is a reminder of what the Upper Valley was like before large-scale vendors moved in.
