Good or bad?
Have yall used this website?
Their price seems pretty darn good, just looking for input on past experiences.

I ordered an H&R single shot shotgun from them for my daughter last year. Gun looked nothing like what the advertised gun was. kept it bc it was only a $100 gun. I did recieve the gun promptly with no other issues. I had my own doubts about the gun bc even the H&R catalog was confusing. Would I order again? Yes, just would research the product more next time.

I've used them twice and had 3 other friends get firearms from them.
Overall good experiences. Their staff is fairly responsive to questions. I've never had any issues so can't speak for their conflict resolution abilities, but i would imagine it's pretty good. Their FFL finder info is up to date generally and prices are accurate. The only complaint I might have is wait time before shipment. Sometime it's literally 2 days before you get a tracking number and other times i've waited almost 2 weeks before they shipped in. But in their defense, I didn't get something common like a Glock 9mm. I think thye had to go out and find it.
I've used them before and will surely use them again. Overal good dealings with them.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

Their prices are usually the best around so I would use them if I needed something they had.

I just ordered 2 1911's from them. Although thier VIP program I think is stupid, it still has the best prices around and always free shipping for guns.
Good to go.

my 1911's took about a week and a half, but I think that was due to the fact they sell out of the 9mm 1911's pretty much as soon as they get them and they needed to get another one in for my order. All my other guns have been like 3 days or so from buds to my FFL.

Got a FoxPro for $60 less than the next lowest price. Ordered it on a Friday & it arrived Tuesday.
I haven't used them for a firearm yet but they will be one of the first places I look when I'm ready.
You may feel a bit suspicious having to fill out your email to get some quotes & the small Credit Card charge they add to the purchase, but their margin probably requires they cover those costs some way. After shipping and all, still the best deal I could find.

Bud's usually has very competitive prices, but they have some shipping policies that can make receipt of a firearm difficult for your dealer if he works out of his house and is not there during delivery hours. My dealer will usually request the carrier to just hold an item for him to come pick up after a notice of attempted delivery is left at his house, but Bud's has some kind of bizarre requirement that there must be three unsuccessful attempted deliveries before the item can be held for pickup. My dealer---who is a good guy---hates to deal with Bud's. I don't blame him.

the only issue I've ever had was showing to be in-stock on some items they didn't really have.

So, what are you getting? I am looking at the Beretta Xplor Light. They show to be out of stock on the one that I want. http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/69675Therefore, I have one more question. Have yall ever bought from them when they have something out of stock, it says if it doesnt come within 90 days I will get my money back, but hell, I dont want to wait 90 days, I want this gun by dove season.

I have personally used them for two absolutely flawless purchases including fantastic communication. In addition I have a family member with an equal experience.

Can't complain about my transactions with them. I used a deal they had with GE capital and used 0% for 6th months. Their prices are usually good enough on new stuff that I could deal with the extra 3%.
