Got a business meeting in Cincinasty but have a couple of hours to kill, worth stopping by or is it the same as their other three stores? I will probably stop by AIM in Monroe if I have time to detour through

A pretty big store. Similar in size to the Hebron store. Very high priced ammo at the moment. AIM Surplus is more fun and I would go there.

If you're coming down I-71, you might stop at Country Attic Treasures in South Lebanon. It's small, and they cater mainly to shotgunners, but they have some high end rifles, and a really nice reloading section.

I haven't been in a couple months, but at that time they often had powder and primers when nobody else did.

Unlike many other places, they would sell powder & primers over the phone and hold them for pickup. I was finding things there, often at cheaper prices, because they don't have have foot traffic of a box store.

Likely cleaned out now though.

I agree Country Attic is awesome.  They are cleaned out on reloading components though.

There's also Rural King in Lebanon for gun stuff. Completely random as to what will be in stock, but you might get lucky. Inside, and to the back right corner of the store.

Crap forget they're all closed on a Monday. That strip mall is depressing.

My old man and I dropped by today as we were in the area and it was closed. I've heard its good and no good lol. Looking through the doors/closed sign today, it didn't look like anything to right home about but that was from outside looking in. I would still like to see inside to make my own opinion.

Been going to The Fin lately, last few times I have been in Vances they tell me it will be a 2 hour wait to talk to a salesman, so I just take the little better than a hour drive up 71 and usually have a very minimal wait.

love them

they have some ammo and plenty of 9mm but it runs 34.99 a box.  lets face it, it will be a while before you see 9 dollar ammo.
you can go on their web site, go to firearms, search for what you want and see if they have it in stock and which stores have them.
I've purchased a couple of guns from them recently using this method.
the paperwork takes forever, go early, get a ticket up front when you go in if you want a gun

What’s the smokeless powder situation like at these places? I know all the internet places are out of stock of everything, wondering if the physical stores are any better.

Vance's website shows no powder in stock. No way to know about the dozens of other stores without calling or driving there.

Just left Country Attic the had a restock on some powders.  I grabbed some H335, limit two per SKU per person.  No primers but they did have some other components.
