I wrote last week about doing my 2007 order with Benelli and today some of them (ALOT of them according to Chuck..haha) showed up. One of the advantages do doing the order so early is getting the new guns first. Well, today we got in the new 20 gauge Codobas and 20 gauge Super Sports, they are impressive. Both models have the Comfort Tech Stock, Crio treated barrels, extended choke tubes, and are ported so they should not have much recoil at all. We also got in a huge shipment of Super Black Eagle II’s, M2’s, and Novas. The other part of doing the Benelli deal is Franchi, Stoeger, and Uberti. We got some of the Franchi Raptors in 20 gauge today along with several I 12’s. Both have been very popular. From Stoeger, several 2000’s, Condors, and Coach Guns arrived. For the cowboy action shooters I got in a couple 1873’s Short Rifles in 357 Mag and 45 Colt. The shooters I have talked to say the 73’s are the most popular at the events. We also got in several of the Milleniums in 357 and 45 Colt for those looking for less expensive six shooters. Used guns this week have been crazy. I havent been able to keep up with all the stuff going in and out of here. I traded for an early #1 Ruger in 243, a Weatherby Accumark in 30-378, a couple of S&W 686’s, a TC Encore in 7-08 with a thumbhole camo stock, and a pre safety Marlin in 444 Marlin. The other new guns we got in are a Ruger Red Label, english stocked 20 gauge with really nice wood, a S&W 620 in 357, and a Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in 280. This time of year we get new guns everyday so if you can stop by or check our website www.orchardshardware.com and see whats new. You will also find links to all the manufacturers websites so you can check out their new stuff and maybe getting your Christmas started
