I just got back from a trip to Colorado. Hit several shops all over Colo. and Utah. But two of the nicest shops I found were in Salida. One isn't really a gun shop but they make brass. I visited Top Brass and got some good deals and even a tour of the facilities. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful.
The other place I visited was American hunting and fishing supply. Gwen was knowledgeable and the shop very well stocked. I found a bunch of 6.5x55 brass that even Cabelas didn't have.
If anyone is passing through Salida I highly recommend that you stop by Top Brass and American.
