Ramblin Rob Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I am thinking about going to the Taylor's & Co. Open House on May 10 in Winchester, VA, but it is about a 5-6 hour drive, one way. Before investing this much time and energy in this endeavor, I was hoping to get some feedback from folks who have attended. If any of you that have attended are willing to comment, what might I expect to see / do at this event? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Buzzard Bayne Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I live 5 hours away and have gone in 2018, 2017 and 2016. Expect good prices on their entire line with some good discounts on "ding and dents". The Cowboy fast draw group will be there with four shooting lanes. You will be able to try fast draw. There will also be a mobile shooting range. For $20 you will be able to shoot 5 guns. It is a good chance to shoot any of their guns that you might have an interest in. Last December I shot a couple of Sharps, 1886 Winchester, and a 1911. And there is a free lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Bruce Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I love their open house! I go both days, get there early on day one, the scratch and dent deals are awesome and the table gets picked through pretty quickly. I got my main match guns, my pair of stainless 5.5" uberti 58s in my avatar, two years ago for less than $700! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I'm 20 minutes away from them and have to go there as they have some nice deals. Church Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Randy Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 The scratch and dent sale has some amazing prices and the guns are not really damaged they were just handled a lot by the public in the showrooms. Regular in-stock firearms are discounted 15% off MSRP. Plus the Taylor's people are very friendly. Winchester is a nice town, spend the night.

Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I neglected to mention that Taylors is just a few minutes away from the Cork Street Tavern which is in an 1830 building on one of the oldest streets in Old Town Winchester. It has a two page draft beer menu plus good food: Beer Menu Church Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Randy Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Picked myself a pair and saved some money. Taylor's Ranch Hands in .357. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I was there yesterday. I live two and a half hours away. Defiantly worth the trip. Ordered a new rifle. Chawed with Mr. Buzzard and Mr. Boomstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Rob Posted May 11, 2019 Author Share Posted May 11, 2019 Also went to the open house and purchased a Uberti Stallion Birdshead 38 special from the ding and dent pile. Got a good deal on a pistol that I wanted. I ended up driving 295 miles each way from NW North Carolina. Had a great time. My wife and I did chat with Boomstick Bruce and others.

Ramblin Rob Posted May 13, 2019 Author Share Posted May 13, 2019 We are already planning a trip back to the Winchester, Va. area. Tell me more about the Holiday Open House. ?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzzard Bayne Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Almost the same event except it takes place the end of November or early December. Same sales, same ding and dent, same great people - no cowboy fast draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
