Gun and gear reviews Leduc Canadian Tire: fight the good fight!

Post image

Because Canadian Tire is a dealer-franchise, each independent dealer has some sovereignty in how they run their individual retail location's inventory (i.e. how much of a firearms storefront they choose to run). The Leduc, Alberta location is owned by a mining engineer. And in my experience, mining engineers like firearms, hehe

They are literally better than either cabelas in Edmonton. Their standard price for a ruger 10/22 was cheaper thsn that of the same model on sale at cabelas. Their ammo slecetion also is better most of the time. Leduc common canadian tire is amazing

Their ammo is still overpriced. Don't get me wrong their selection of firearms & parts is unmatched when compared to other canadian tires but there is no denying that the big box stores cannot compete with ammo prices of places like tenda and g4c

Big box stores can nae compare to smaller places in general, P&D is consistently cheaper on ammo than Cabelas and Canadian tire is. So pretty much if I want a gun I go to Canadian tire in Leduc, if I need ammo or reloading components I (unfortunately) go to P&D, I just wish P&D had better parking

Whats wrong with their parking? And why would you support canadian tire when p&d will price match. Dont get me wrong if CT has it and P&d doesnt then il buy it but i support small shops like p&d over the big box stores everytime. Even if p&d is charging an extra 10, if i can afford it i support them

It's downtown, tight, angle and paid parking, truly an annoyance to get to vs either cabelas or a canadian tire, especially during daytime or rush hour traffic, quite horrible to manouver a truck through on a regular basis. Because Canadian tires stock is larger for things that aren't hunting only rifles, if P&D has it I'll see, I wasn't aware of their price matching but sometimes Canadian tire Leduc has stuff in stock when P&D doesn't, so I get it at Canadian tire because of the larger selection, and it's easier to drive to and park at

Yeah i supposed their location is less then ideal i dont even pay the parking if you park down the street theres usually free parking spots. As far as other guns besides hunting rifles their entire back counter is fully stocked. I was just in there yday april 11th and they had damn near ever lever gun under the sun alongside plenty of precision guns and every color of 1301 available in stock among many other tactical shotgun options. Not to mention their o/u selection is also increasing. With that being said the southside bass bro manager told me they just got approved for an additional 300 firearm sku's so their inventory will be going from 600 firearms to 900. I still only shop there when absolutely necessary but will be interesting to see the expansion

We are slowly but steadily becoming an anchor in the community. We have access to basically all the brands at this point with a handful of exceptions, and same goes for the archery and fishing side. The online shop is starting to get legs under it too. If you got FB give us a follow GnL Outfitters, we post about new arrivals and sales there.
