I tried to reply last night, that my experiences at Hebert's have been pretty good.
They had 30-30 150gr Remington corelock when the big box stores were out-- at the same price as the big box store.
Priced a Ruger 10/22, and their everyday price beat the big box store by $10, plus Heather was easy to deal with and knew her stuff about guns.
Brought a Marlin 30-30 in for repair last year during dear season, figured I'd be without it for a few weeks. Prior to leaving the hunting stand the evening before, it had failed to extract the chambered round. I called the folks at Hebert's asked them what was their procedure for bringing a broken gun into the shop with a live round chambered. The lever was forward and action was jammed open, but live round in chamber nevertheless. They told me to leave the gun in the truck, enter the store and tell them I had arrived. Did just what they told me, went back out to retrieve the gun. The gunsmith met me at the door, took the gun from me and breezed on into the back without a word. 10-15 minutes later I hear three rapid shots. Gunsmith comes out with my rifle, plus the 3 rounds that were in it. Told me he had removed the lie round and tried the rifle, could find no fault except the round in the chamber had a worn/rough spot on the rim. It had been in and out of that gun probably 10 times, huntin was slow.
I asked how much, he said $20, I paid, left with my rifle and tickled pink too!
I am not related to any one at Hebert's, nor am affiliated in any way. Been treated pretty good by them, that's all.
