Default Business Check: North-Pro Sports Saskatoon

Just trying to be prudent here like everyone else.

I've never deal with these folks before... nor have I have heard anything about them... good or bad... so I'm looking for some feedback.

Specifically, I'm thinking of ordering a firearm through them and want to know whether or not I can expect prompt service...a firearm delivered in good order and well packaged and... no drama in the mean time.

Thanks in advance everyone.

I have been in their shop in Saskatoon and it seems like a decent place with good folks....not sure what their mail order is like though.

I live in the Saskatoon area and have had nothing but good experiences. Good service, fair prices. To be honest, the dealings i've had with NorthPro have been better than most of the experiences i had at any of the small hunting shops in Northwest Alberta when i lived there.

I have dealt with North Pro numerous times. Kevin is the owner/manager. Mike is the archery guy. They know their stuff and are honest about everyhing they sell. They have to be since there is the big stores to compete with. WSS and Cabelas. Ask for Kevin and ask the quesions. No BS from him or the staff.

Yeah... I get the impression that they are a bit new...at least online.
Like I said... nothing much about them online...period.

I might just have to take a chance and be the guinea pig if you are the only guy that has had anything at all to do with em....not that your comment carries no weight.

I'll toss a coin in the morning...heads I go for it...tails I convince myself that its only money and I can't take it with me then go for it anyway.

Unless some negatory feedback ensues.


Addicts will do anything for a fix I guess.

Oh... you guys must have posted this while I was replying to Lefty.

Thanks for the input guys.
Word of mouth from guys that have met..can name operators is the best endorsement.

Guess who is getting a new thing that goes BANG!!!

My friend works there PT, I've dealt with them more than a few times. They're good.

They are great guys to deal with, have dealt with them several times. Kevin is very good to deal with, and prices have always been very fair. Good luck.

I have been there a few times, haven't bought a rifle there but have bought a scope, powder and bullets. Have looked at the Vortex target scopes too.

The impression I got from the staff was positive, knowlegible.

Yeah, I would buy from them again.

Top notch service and communication through email. Bought something sight unseen. Would deal with them again.
