Hey All,
I was wondering if any of you folk who live in or around the northern part of Durham region have any suggestions on gun shops or stores that have good prices and supplies for firearms and ammunition. I have heard that the bigger stores like Bass Pro and Cabellas are somewhat expensive and I have very little knowledge of what a good price for one thing is versus another so I am leaning on recommendations until I figure out what good prices are for myself.
Thanks for all your input!
options are somewhat limited....gagnons,sail in oshawa are ok....nothing in lindsay...accuracy plus in peterborough...ellwood epps in orillia...what specifically are you looking for?
Trombley's in Orillia and Ellwood Epps on hwy #11 north of Orillia.
Williams Arms in Port Perry!
Ammo prices fluctuate on an almost weekly basis. ive got good deals at Bass Pro, and ive seen good deals at Cabelas. I wouldnt say they're any worse then "mom and pop" shops for guns and ammo. You just need to know your prices and you only get to know them by visiting a lot of stores, often.
William's Arms in Port Perry. This is the most knowledgeable store you'll find any where.

Williams Arms in Port Perry and also Canadian Tire in Port Perry.
Williams Arms has been great to deal with, they always have time to jaw about whatever product you are looking at.
Williams Arms is an excellent shop. If they don't have it they will get it for you.
Yep John the owner and Stu are great guys and very knowledgeable as well!
Anyone use Orion outdoors? They are somewhere in Durham, the catalogue looks pretty decent.
Wow seems pretty resounding that most of you really recommend at least checking out William's Arms. I will have to have a drive over there one day soon :) Thanks for all your input!
Port isn't that far from cannington, just confirm hours of operation before you go. They don't do 9-9 mon-sun like big boxers. Prices are always competitive or better than elsewhere.
another store is Easthill outdoors on the 115 hwy in Orono. I have heard that there are former gagnons guys in there and people that I know have been happy with experience. Especially on the archery front.
Just so you all know, I went to William's Arms this weekend as per most of your suggestions and it was a fantastic experience! I told the gentleman right off the bat that my PAL hadn't come in yet but he was more than williang to spend 20 minutes talking to me and my wife about scopes, the Mossberg 500 combo, .22 ammo and training hunting dogs. Thanks so much for letting me know about this place! Excited to go back in a few months with my PAL!
Did they have any .22 ammo in stock?
They did John! Some high velocity Winchester rounds and a bit of plinking ammo. I would say their usual shelf space was maybe 1/5 full? Not much but more than any other stores I have seen in the area.
Thanks for the report, things are a little dry here so I may have to reach out a bit.
No Problem. Hopefully the Yanks will stop freaking out and hoarding ammo haha. I was talking to the guy at the store and he said that the path the ammo took to get in was crazy. Basically:
-Made in the US bought by a German company
-Bought by a company out in BC
-On the way to Canada it stopped in Montreal to see how much could be sold there
-Leftovers were supposed to go to William's Arms but was actually sent all the way back to BC
-Had to ship out a crate or two back out to Ontario
Pretty nuts what has to be done to get .22 now!

They also had some CGI target ammo too if you just want to plink but ya I think I saw 10 bricks of the Winchester. I can't remember how many rounds in the brick. I want to say 50 -100 but it was $17.
