Shops to Visit - Lynchburg area ?

[Sampson]

Heading down to Lynchburg for the weekend.
Anyone recommend any gun shops to visit along the way down 81?

There is a gun shop/hardware store in Lynchburg on Lakeside Drive that has been there for at least 20 years. It's been a very long time since I've been there, but it was the first shop I ever visited.

Regarding your presumed route, I used to travel between Lynchburg and Baltimore with some frequency and always found Route 29 to be a more enjoyable drive. Provided you can avoid 95/495 anytime around rush hour, it'll be faster as well. Then again, you may have other reasons for taking I-81, but I thought I'd give my two cents.

Assuming you’re driving US 29 to get down there I’d stop by Clark Bros. in Warrenton, usually a good selection of standard capacity magazines. I normally stay in Roanoke when down that way- there are some shops along US 460 between Lynchburg and Roanoke I see frequently but haven’t stopped in. If you go down to Roanoke they have a Sportsman’s Warehouse big box store, also good for mags.

If driving 70 directly to 81 then south there’s several around Martinsburg/ Inwood or or 340 to 7 to 81 you’ve got options in Winchester and Harrisonburg. All depends on the route.

Traveling down 81 stop at Shenandoah Sporting Goods https://www.shenandoahsportinggoods.com/
In the Roanoke area Doomsday Tactical Supply is worth the trip https://www.facebook.com/doomsdaytacticalsupply/

Thanks for the info. The couple we are going with said 81 was more consistent for them when they've travelled this way. Also trying to avoid DC on a Friday afternoon.

If you do happen to be on 29 on the trip (maybe the return) and you are looking for a meal stop, check out the Pig and Steak Restaurant in Madison, VA. It is just off the highway and had great Barbeque.
