How Reeds Virtual Gun Fair Made Me Hate “Real Life” Ones
Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters has cracked the code for online “gun shows”!
Reeds Family Outdoor Outfitters has been putting on their famous gun fair for years, but the COVID-19 lockdowns have made it…better? Yes, actually, the Reeds Virtual Gun Fair, which is going on right now and continuing through May 9, is kind of spoiling me for the “real life” gun shows that have been on hold since last March. This is everything I love about hitting the gun show, with none of the annoying parking fees or crowds. The best part? Reeds actually has these firearms and parts in stock, and at the discounts absolutely nobody has been offering since the pandemic began. Here’s how it works.

Like a “real” gun show, every single item on the “show floor” comes with a friendly face explaining what it is that you’re looking at, and why you might be interested in it. Unlike a “real” gun show, you won’t have to wait in line trying to get the sales guy’s attention. Reeds Virtual Gun Fair achieves this by having a brief but highly informative explanatory video on every sale item.
Like a “real” gun show, there are thousands of new guns and gear items for you to examine, but unlike a “real” gun show (at least any that could happen right now), Reeds Virtual Gun Fair actually has all of those items in stock! Like a “real” gun show, you can get some absolutely amazing deals on guns and gear, but unlike a “real” gun show, you won’t have to dicker or bargain to get them. In fact, I’m starting to think that I want all gun fairs to be like this: The Reeds Virtual Gun Fair is, as far as I’m concerned, the “real” gun show I’ve been waiting for!
All you have to do is click here, scroll to the guns you find interesting, and start enjoying the best virtual gun fair I’ve ever seen. Hurry; the Reeds Virtual Gun Fair ends on May 9, 2021!
Two out of three of you go the week before the peak.
