A hunting, fishing and gun shop in Vanderhoof, BC, with a large online following for firearms, ammo and reloading supplies, known for fast shipping and knowledgeable staff. Licences and tags are sold in store.
Nechako Outdoors is a small-town hunting and fishing store in Vanderhoof that has built a big online customer base across BC and Alberta. In store you'll find rifles, ammunition, reloading gear, fishing tackle, knives, backpacking food and clothing, and you can buy fishing licences and hunting tags at the counter.
Speed of shipping comes up in review after review. Online buyers report orders packed within hours and at the door the next day or two, firearm transfers processed quickly, and flat-rate shipping on most items. When things go wrong, such as a rifle damaged in transit, a missing muzzle brake or a defective part, customers say the store responded quickly and made it right.
Local shoppers praise staff who know rifles and reloading, will mount and zero a scope, and give tips on bait and tackle for local waters. One hunter who damaged a scope mount on a moose hunt in the area was helped back into the field. The shop also offers brass annealing.
A few complaints stand out. One buyer felt he overpaid for a rare rifle once others came into stock elsewhere, one found the shop slow to answer a parts compatibility question, and a couple of in-store shoppers describe long waits or unfriendly service. An older review mentions a warranty rod that sat unrepaired for two years.
