Powell's is just the kind of place you expect to find out in the middle of nowhere in rural…read moreVirginia. Lots of guns, ammo, and people that love to chat about guns and ammo. I stumbled across this place entirely by accident, but I'm glad I stopped in. Their selection of used rifles and shotguns is pretty extensive, and they've got all manner of shooting stuff to satisfy shooters in all disciplines. If I'm up that way I make a point of stopping by to see what they have, and I rarely come out empty-handed.

Unless your a weekly or daily visitor they don't provide much customer service no matter how much money you are spending. Have been around a very long time, but, again it is almost like you have to be in the circle to get anywhere in there. They also offer bow repair and probably are the best around.

My experience with Big Boyz has been nothing short of negative. My wife and I had our eyes on a…read morecouple guns for quite some time. With the bans coming into place here on July 1st, we decided to "pull the trigger" and order the pistols online. We ordered the pistols on the same order and had them shipped to Big Boyz. After they arrived they gave me a call to come by and pick up the pistols. When my wife and I arrived they would not let my wife pick up her pistol because the shipping label arrived with my name on it. They said that I had paid for it and so it couldn't be transferred. They said, "it's the law" according to the ATF. I called the Virginia ATF field office and spoke with one of their firearms investigative field agents who stated that the law required the legal OWNER of the gun to be the one to fill out the paperwork and go through the process. This would be my wife. Dave, the owner of Big Boyz, refused to listen to the ATF agent, and told the ATF agent that the law did not say that. It's funny that when confronted with the truth of the law, you just disagree for the sake of being right, even when you're wrong. They refused to transfer my wife's gun to her. I still was able to get mine and my background check went through no problem. So the issue wasn't like my wife was buying a gun for me. She was not. We bought our guns, and I was able to get mine and she was not able to get hers because of a policy, that they claimed was "law". They claim the first line I have no problem with them having a policy in place that may be stricter than the law. But, don't claim it's the law, then be shown that its not the law, and then refuse to transfer it on the grounds its illegal. It's not. When I was leaving Dave was speaking out loud that they will "continue to abide by their policies". I re-iterated, that the keyword in that was POLICY, not LAW, said have a good day and walked out. Dave proceeded to follow me to the parking lot saying, "don't walk away from me like that" and said if I came back I would be trespassing. So, in sum, they treated me extremely poorly as if I was some sort of criminal (yet still gave me a gun after my background check came through), would not let my wife get her gun, when shown and told directly from an ATF agent that the ATF and law has no problem with this transaction, told me not to come back and trespassed me, and still have my wife's gun that we've already paid for... DO NOT COME HERE! Vote with your dollar, we have a right to bear arms, and they would not let my wife legally exercise that right.
