re: Has anyone used Bud's Gun Shop?

I have purchased from them online before with no issues, and it's nice their HQ is 10 miles from where I live. They have a huge in store selection and gun range as well.

Has the range gotten better? Was a pain to use when I moved here in 20 and 21.

Should I buy the shipping insurance or is that a rip off?

It's 4.75.

I have had multiple events happen regarding shipping in the past several years.

Several FedEx packages have vanished in route, often when arriving at Memphis. One was a full case of .308 that I had to contact the seller; eventually they sent a replacement.

UPS has lost packages, as has the USPS. Once, I had a firearm shipped to a local shop via UPS (back when you could track them enroute). They marked it as unable to deliver, because there was nobody to sign for it... they were trying to bring it (WELL) outside of business hours.
UPS driver attempted to leave a case of ammo at "a preferred pickup location" - a shady telephone repair shop in the building of an old gas station- because "I wasn't home to receive it". I WAS home, tracked the order. I was actually on the phone with customer service at that moment, because I had tracked the truck into my neighborhood 3 hours ago and was waiting for it, when the truck never came.

I had both UPS and Fedex leave $500+ packages at different addresses and mark them as "delivered"; I work strange hrs/days and was home when this happened.

You bet your arse it's worth $5 to insure your package.

CZ's get pretty good reviews in general. I think the gripes are user preference vs a part issue. I have a couple.

Firearm reviews are ridiculous and youre right, most of the time its user preference. Most of those are people who just dont know how to use it correctly

Lots of folks buy cheap ammo and blame the firearm.
