I visited K2 a couple times a month during the summer, and even purchased my first Bushmaster AR from them 6-8 months ago.

Their staff is very friendly, always willing to help, but I must admit, they are not always the most knowledgable bunch. They seem to hire a new person every time I go in, but like the rest, they always seem to be very nice and helpful. The two owners (I forget their names) are very knowledgable, and incredibly helpful. I was having problems sighting in my first AR, and the owner personally helped me get started, and let me use his spotting scope for a couple hours without hesitation. By far the best service I've ever experienced at a gun shop.

The prices on their guns are a shade high. Sportsman's Warehouse listed my Bushmaster A3 w/ 16" HBAR at around $850, but K2 had it listed at a shade over $1000. After a bit of haggling, we agreed on around $900. It was still more than I wanted to pay, but the service is well worth the extra $50. One of the nicest things about their staff is they are just like us. When you ask about a railed forearm, a Hogue grip, or some other "tactical" part, they don't look at you like you're Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold.

I have yet to go through one of their training courses, but assuming they offer a CCW class, I'll probably take that sometime within the next 12 months.

All in all, they are by FAR my favorite gun shop!
