VA Beach Suggestions?

AssMan · Apr 7, 2017

Leaving here around 12:00. Plan to hit this place up - http://classicfirearmsandechoesofglory.com
May try to find a decent shop that carries more modern stuff too. Open to suggestions in the VA Beach area. Thanks.

If you are going down 95 hit green top just this side of Richmond. Great place

I've been to that place a few times, they have quite a variety of collectible stuff, old milsurp rifles and just plain interesting things to look at. At the time (3 years ago), I wasn't very interested in milsurps like I am now so I don't know how their prices compare to national trends.

For the more modern stuff, Superior Pawn and Gun kinda runs the Tidewater area. They have several stores, a couple of them have indoor ranges and rent guns. For an outdoor range, check out C2 down by the NC line.

Yeah, forgot about them. Good place to buy bulk ammo, they have it by the pallet full sitting in the middle of the floor.
Also there's a new place that opened up a couple years ago, Heritage something or other.

I think you are talking about Colonial...excellent operation! Here is the website:

I have not been to the VA Beach location but I have done quals for one of my credentials at their Richmond location, and it mirrors the awesome Heritage operation up here.

That's the one. Where did I get "Heritage"?
I was there for their grand opening. Very nice looking place, slick operation.

The place resembles Heritage here in MD quite a bit...can't blame you for the confusion.

I live in VA beach and there is a lot to do here. Colonial shooting academy is reeeeeeally nice but a bit on the pricey side. I really like superior pawn and gun in Lynnhaven if I had to choose. for ammo, look no further than the Armory in Kempsville. they often beat ammo prices online!

I am headed to C2 tomorrow possibly

AssMan · Apr 7, 2017

So I stopped by the classic echoes place and it was pretty cool. Didn't buy anything but I'd definitely stop in again. I also stopped into a Superior location but they had a rather limited selection. I've been to Colonial many times (in RVA) and it's a great facility. If I'd had more time I would have stopped at the VB location. Didn't make it to the Armory.

Thanks for the suggestions

If you head into downtown Norfolk, I think Bob's is still a going concern, with a small range on the third floor. I purchased quite a few firearms from him, including my first rifle, a Remington 700 in 7mm-08.

Virginia Air & Space Center in Hampton which is NASA Langley's Welcome Center and Museum.

There's also the Military Aviation Museum in Va Beach too

If you ever go back when it finally warms up, there are several weekend festivals in Ghent during the summer. Various live music, lots of good food, and it's actually a pretty nice place.

I think we may do a weekend or two there this summer. I'll see about finding a festival/concert schedule.
