I bought from Bud's 2-3 years ago, a couple times. That 2-tier price thing was annoying. If I saved the 3% by sending them a check, the check was stuck in their bank for several days waiting to clear - and the processing/shipping procedure didn't start until after the check cleared. Got tired of the delay and hassle. My 1st shopping stop now is Davidson's Gallery Of Guns (GOG), because my LGS gets a piece of the sale and the price is usually still good. To check that, I look at Grab A Gun; if they have a significantly better deal, I buy there. Both outfits ship quick.
