Any good gun stores between Indy and Louisville around 65?

[Clay]

Looks like I have to make a trip to Louisville for work tomorrow. I rarely go down 65, so I was wondering between Indy and Louisville if there were any must see gun shops??

I plan to stop at Acme Sports in Seymour in case you want to suggest it

thanks,
clay

Kieslers in Clarksville is a must visit. 111 Gun shop is right off the expressway. Exit 65 south at Lewis & Clark. At the stoplight go straight. Take the right towards Cristiani Excavating and follow the road right to 111 Gun shop. Kieslers isn't far, here is the link to the map on the website.

Is it not now "Orion Arms"?

It was when I was there during last Knob Creek.

i dont know if this will help you or not

Sign out front still says Kieslers, so I assume it is. I think "Orion Arms" is the law enforcement sales.

If you are coming into Indy and then down 65, I definitely recommend Beech Grove Firearms.

While in Seymour, you might as well stop in Bassmasters. 1610 E. Tipton, just East of Acme. Tons of hunting/fishing gear and a nice supply of rifles, pistols and ammo.

You could hit Beech Grove Firearms, Tactical Shotgunner, LE Firearms, and Indy Trading Post all in about an hour's time. They're just off I-65 at the Raymond Street exit (just south of downtown).

I HIGHLY recommend Bite the Bullet in Seymour. He is a Master Dealer for Wilson and has Nighthawk and Glock. Not much in long guns but Bob is a helluva great guy. When coming off of 65, take the 55 exit, head east about 1/4 mile on 50, turn left (north) on 31 and go app. 3 miles. It is on the left hand side, just look for the little sign in his yard. His shop is in his garage and I know what you're thinking, but trust me, sweet selection, a great guy, and great prices. WELL worth the drive!
And Acme is a super place as well. Steve and Joe are great guys too.

Stay away from Bassmasters in Seymour. Id recommend Acme in Seymour, Ace Hardware in Scottsburg, and Kieslers (now Orion Arms) in Clarksville. Havent been to Bite the Bullet, but have heard great things about him.

Bob Trueblood (Bite the Bullet) is a nice guy and quite a talker but I've never seen anything in his shop that was a better price than Acme.

He does have a LOT on hand for reloaders, including Dillon kits.

Kieslers is the name of the law enforcement part of the shop. Orion Arms is for general consumers. Not that it really matters, just as long as you get there. Most of the text on the signs outside say Kieslers.

And ++ on both Kieslers and 111 Gun Shop. But I'd recommend you hit up Kieslers first, just because getting back to Kieslers from 111 Gun Shop is quite a trick due to some recent "renovations" to the roads. But getting back on the interstate from 111 is pretty easy.

To get to Kieslers, get off at the Clarksville exit and turn left. Then immediately turn right, and immediately turn right again. Kieslers is about a mile or so on the left. To get to 111, go back the way you came and turn left on to the on ramp to get back on to 65, but there's a ramp on the right that lets you off the on ramp (if that make sense) that puts you on Kopp lane. 111 Gun Shop is about 1/2 mile up that road, just past the place with all the concrete statues.

To get back on 65, turn right when you leave 111 Gun Shop and go a couple of miles until you hit a main road (Eastern Blvd) and turn left.

Bob's a great guy. True 1911 heaven, not to mention stacks of Dillon presses and accessories.

Bob also stocks Wilson Combat shotguns. There was an amazing OD Green one... just a bit out of my price range!

I'd be better off not knowing that. Thanks.

well, I didnt have a lot of time, so I was only able to stop at Acme Sports, but Im glad I did! Super nice guys working there and a great selection of things. I could have looked for hours! Prices were very reasonable as well. I picked up some 7.5 swiss, 380 golden sabers, and an adapter for my P22. thanks everyone!

i wouldnt reccomend bassmasters anymore, new owner ship and employees are rude. They hardly carry anything firearms related anymore, theyve switched mainly to fishing stuff. Was treated like crap when in there this morning, not planning on ever going back. Acme is much better, Joe and Steve know their stuff and are fair and friendly to deal with

 

[painmerchant]

Hi-Tek in sellersburg In is worth a stop, the guy seems to be fair and knowledgeable. HiTekFirearms

Way out of date for original post, but FWIW I would most highly recommend The Primitive Peddler in Columbus (located in Eastbrook Plaza shopping center, corner of US31 and 25th Street). Great folks to deal with.
