Murdoch?s

[O2HeN2]

When I was a kid here in CO, Gart's was king of the hill for shooting/hunting stuff, with the LGS, Walmart and Kmart fleshing out the rest of the demand.

Big R is pretty much the same store as Murdochs. The Big R in Evergreen always had a good selection of handguns.

I went back to the one on Santa Fe just west of HR a couple of months ago. I was pleasantly surprised at how organized it was and the offerings that they had compared to a couple of years ago.

My daughter worked at that store for awhile. I love that place. I get dog food there and some other things from time to time. They have all sorts of good quality stuff in all sorts of areas.

Murdochs is a staple for us. I complain about their prices but they are reasonable in reality. They do great closeout(seasonal) sales.

Two of the best gun counters in the county are Murdochs and Napa in Ft Morgan. Napa doesn't always have large quantity but I like the selection.

I like Murdoch?s about the same as Big R or Tractor Supply.

Never really shopped any of those places for guns or gun stuff though.

I do like finding guns for sale in unexpected places. The Napa parts store in Fort Morgan was a surprise the first time I noticed it. Also, the Ace Hardware in whatever the first little town north of Greeley (Evans?) is has (or had) a little fun store in the back.

I always tried to visit Murdoch's in Salida, CO in the spring before Easter.
They would bring in the baby chicks for all the farmers in the area and set up big pens in the store by type of chick.
You could hear them a block away.

Despite the small size they have a good selection and can order anything in that they don?t have in stock.

As will most places.

Usually I am looking for instant gratification when I hit a brick and mortar. When they don?t have what I want on hand I usually just order it myself.

I get it when a dealer offers to order in a firearm they don?t have. (Although these days I just order it myself anyways.)

The weird ones are when they offer to order you a holster or a scope or some other accessory that you can easily find online and have shipped right to you house.

Yeah, I love when they have chicks or ducks for sale.

Not sure why I find enjoyment in it.

Maybe spending the overwhelming majority of my life pretty much living in the city I think being able to buy small animals at the hardware store is fascinating.

I think that was a bit before my time. My reference is the 80's and 90's Boulder / Denver Metro.

Long's was open in the 90's in Golden, wasn't it?
