Midway or Brownells?

[Hunter0924]

I have used both and like both equally.

Partial to both

I order from both and have found that Midway usually has the better price but Brownells has the had to find items.

Don't overlook Grafs.....in my experience they'll beat out Midway nearly every time.

In terms of tools and specialty items Brownell's is about the only way to go, but you pay for it.

i have dealer accounts at both so whoever is cheaper if they both have it or just whoever has it. I also look at grafs,natchez,

Depends On what I am buying. Sometimes I buy from Mid South, Natchez, MidwayUSA or If I need it now i bite the bullet and drive to Gander Mtn.

I've had first-rate customer service from both Brownell's and Midway. Most recent order went to Midway; one item on that order was backordered and shipping charges for it were eye-opening. Taught me a lesson--cancel stuff on backorder and move it to wish list until Midway has it in stock or look for another vendor.

I like midway. others are sometimes cheaper but midway customer service is great. also the website is terrific as a research tool

Both+Graf+ Sinclair which is now owned by Brownells+about twenty other places for really specialized stuff.

#1 Graf's primarily because they carry more for the Swiss rifles, ammo, accessories.
#2 Brownells
#3 Mid South
#4 Natchez
#5 Midway

Sir Aardark,

Thanks for the info on Ade's. I'll definitely go there before the end of the year to check them out.

Both Midway and Brownells do the Dealer Pricing on C&R FFL's. I have saved hundreds using them. Natchez is a no go with C&R. Grafs will honor C&R but for some reason is having a terrible time setting up my account, so I don't use them.

Midway... all the way...

Brownell's by a slight margin. Have been ordering from them for at least 30 years, maybe more--never a bad transaction, even when the mistake was on my end. They just took that particular item back, no questions. Once they just said keep it and credited my card for that amount. Once in a while I check with the tech rep on something, too.

Frankly I use Brownell's as a yardstick of how a company should treat its customers. We need lots more like them.

On the more common stuff I give Midway a shot at it--but whoever gives me the best deal (and best service) gets my $.
