Review №1

I called today to ask about a serialized p320 fire control unit. This is a new thing that Sig is offering it is not considered a firearm under Massachusetts law.It is 100% legal to sell.However the owner of the store has decided he wants to create gun control laws for his own store - even though selling this item does not violate Massachusetts law in any way.He said “well they might ban them in the future”.Logic clearly is not the owners strong suit or he would realize that he has already banned them himself…..

I have made it a point to set foot in basically every gun store in MA. Ive purchased guns from damn near one of them too. Ive purchased a Sig210 target and a Henry Big Boy from these guys over three experiences spanning about 2 months precovid. One experience was great, one was acceptable, the other (which happens to be the third) was god awful where I was told that the counter was only for buying customers. There wasnt even anybody in the shop at the time.

Very disappointing trip to R&R today... Stopped by willing to spend some money. I have already purchased 2 firearms from this establishment and both times were met with sub-par customer service, however it was fine and the transaction went well.Today, popped in to potentially purchase a rifle and was met with the you need a muzzle to shop here... I responded with I do not wear masks, and never will... I am here to spend at least $1000 and if your willing to turn away that amount of money because I dont have a piece of cloth over my face, then that says a lot about what you stand for.The owner then responded with Thats okay, we dont need the money Very interesting business model...I will for sure never ever, ever spend another dollar inside this establishment and to any of my Patriot friends who ask for recommendations will absolutely not hear about R&R Sport Shop. You all should be extremely ashamed & embarrassed.

Selection is minimal and even for a mom and pop shop, price gouging is absurd. Bottom line is the snarky, rude and frankly intimidating old timers that run the place. Unless you enjoy being ignored or laughed at for using improper vernacular- ask no questions and pay in cash.

Extremely judgemental and rude. No help with info just wanna talk down to you. I say thank you and they look at me like I have four heads and go back to their conversations to themselves. . Dont recommend this shop. Prices are jacked . All a bunch of rude old men that never got taught respect. Unless you wanna be disrespected or bashed on by the people of this store I highly recommend never walk into this place. Especially with your kids . Not kid friendly

Have been going to R&R regularly for a few years. Definitely took some time for them to warm up to me, if not just recognize me amongst all their customers. I disagree with a lot of the hate on here for them, though. If you go in there with a mild attitude and a healthy love for outdoor sport, you’ll get treated well. Also yes they do value regular customers but certainly not less than other customers in the store. I also recommend engaging them with what they’re doing hunting/fishing-wise rather than asking for too many tips and just talking about your outing.As an angler they have time and again kept me actively abreast of inventory while shopping, carry a small but industry standard selection, and contrary to popular belief (esp. around Granby) provide excellent quality bait. They’ve also spoken with me at length about various local patterns and are extremely knowledgeable about the area. Also as someone who’s looking to get into both firearms and hunting, can honestly say their selection seems top drawer. Dude in the archery shop is a total sweetheart too. Don’t listen to the hate, go to R&R next time you need anything fishing or hunting.

I try to avoid these people. They are very rude and condescending every time I go in there. Their prices are actually quite high compared to other shops in the area. Go somewhere else

They are a outstanding group of men working there with some kind of knowledge some overwhelming some don’t but overall they have everything that you would need that you can imagine in stock or definitely they will get it for you no matter white pricey it is but they will have it for you some of the older‘s I have some ChynaOf attitude but it must be their age or long hours of business, children at the end of the day it pays off to find what you really need

Review №16

I agree with the negative reviews; Ive tried to shop there a couple of times, and most of them were not pleasant. On my first visit as a new LTC holder it took a while for the staff to talk to me like I was worth their time, and the other times I was either greeted with minimum courtesy or frankly like I was bothering them. The last time I was there one of the staff on the floor just stared at me until I started the conversation, and with a mask and no uniform its not like I could tell the person was an employee.This is unfortunate because since November 2020 our house (located in Belchertown) is becoming an avid shooter household, and were spending thousands of dollars on guns and supplies. Elsewhere.

R&R is a great sporting good store. The staff are very knowledgeable on hunting, firearms and archery equipment. I brought in an old bow I was gifted and their technicians breathed new life into it, and they didn’t try and upsell me on a new bow. Great service!

Review №19

Came in to have my bow repaired/tuned and needless to say...they were awesome! Being new to the sport, I had a lot of questions and knew very little. the Bow tech took all the time I needed to get fitted and learn some tips on maintaining the bow. Most importantly he was down to earth, 100% honest with me and didnt try selling me into something I didnt need. I will definitely be going there from this point on and I would HIGHLY recommend going here for all your Archery products and servicing.-Rich B.

Visited on 10-7-2020. Would not go again. Staff was rather rude even though myself and my friend were both purchasing firearms. Easy $1,000 in sales for them. Didn’t matter. Rude when walking in, rude when filling out paperwork, rude from start to finish. Also wouldn’t sell customers 9mm ammo unless they were purchasing a gun. There’s lots of gun shops in western Massachusetts. Don’t let this store be your gun shop.

Review №24

I never do this, but feel I have to with this store. Years ago I stopped going to this store because of how rude the employees are. Last time I was there ( roughly 2 years ago) I called to talk with the owner after I walked out . Unless you are a regular to this store, they are very rude. Owner even admitted it can be like that and offered me a discount on my purchase, I completed purchase. Went back today, and guess what, no customers in store and yet I felt like it was a bother to get some help. Im done. Traveled an hour away to a shop that was packed with customers and was treated like a friend even though I have never stepped foot in this shop before. I will never shop at R and R again! No discount would be enough, most miserable group of guys i ever met. Will be sharing new shop info with everyone I can.

Knowledgeable people there, especially Kenny in the archery shop and phil behind the gun counter, one of the owners Rich Kimball is also very helpful the other owner jim Collins is a different story, hes very rude,disrespectful, no personality. He has a problem with customers conversating with employees in regards to merchandise their considering purchasing, someone should tell him that the business hes in, customer service is about customers obtaining information on the products he sells and he really needs to get some people skills and try being a little more friendly and outgoing instead of walking around all day with a pist off look on his face because sportsman like myself who spend money in his store are the reason he can afford to live the lifestyle he lives.

These guys must have Midas thing going on. Everything they touch turns to gold, and is priced like it was.Rude, holier than thou attitudes towards new customers, brusque response to questions (If I dont know about something, should I ask?). MY wife went in to get a cleaning kit for me as a present,. After being ignored, she asked one of the clerks about a kit, and he gave her so much grief she left crying!Never again will I patronize this place! Id rather drive down to another shop in Palmer.

Went there today and all 3 guys behind the counter were wicked nice,open to questions, & informative. Ive been to gun stores all over new england and dealt with the cliche condescending gun counter guy who hates questions but the 3 dudes at R&R were relaxed and cool. That was my first time in there despite being from the area and utilizing surrounding gun stores and after my experience today id recommend them to anybody i know and go back for gear or upgrades...prices were good too,unlike places in worcester or springfield. solid place really.

Says they open at 7 on Google page, get there and sign says they open at 6. Im thinking ok I could have gotten here earlier, its whatever. Go inside to go in bow section and its closed off. Guy tells me the archery guy wont be in until 9, maybe 10 o clock, what a waste of my morning. Literally just wanted to look at arrow rests but apparently the archery guy needs to be there?

They are decent. They can be a bit standoffish, but are personable enough. I dont find them objectionable. Their selection is decent and their prices can be pretty good if you know what youre shopping for. They often have specials on some firearms that are hard to beat in this state.

Review №47

Don’t recall ever feeling more unwelcome in a small shop. From the chain smoking, .45 toting, little troll at the front door to the guys behind the counter. Every one of the employees seemed horribly inconvenienced by my, and other customers, presence. Won’t shop here again

Review №51

I was in the parking lot waiting for coworker, I saw a sign that said sporting goods. I thought it would be a decent way to kill some time looking around their store, upon entering there was a gentleman behind the counter. I was greeted and asked how I was. I explained to the gentleman I was just tire kicking, instantly his attitude was different towards me. I explained i was from out of state and tried to ask some questions about local gun laws. The gentleman seemed not to care weather or not I was in his store. I would certainly say not a friendly environment to out of towners. With that being said, they seemed to have a decent selection of firearms and outdoor equipment. Just dont let them know upfront your not buying or they will try to show you out the door!

The owners are amazing people and their store is awesome. Whether youre a hunter, fisherman, or otherwise, R&R is definitely the sports shop you need to go for all of your sporting goods. I highly recommend R&R sport shop and if I had the option, I would have rated 10 stars :)

The commercial says that it’s the “best place for your next adventure” but it should say rude, lazy, condescending, ignorant, overpriced place for your next adventure. Tried to talk to them about my crossbow and all I got was ignorance. Ed at E&J Archery in Westhampton is extremely friendly and will help with any of your archery needs! Never ever go to R&R Sport Shop

I have started to become a regular visitor in the archery section, I can say with confidence R and R sports is one of the best places you can to go to. All the staff there are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their what they sell and has always gone beyond their way to ensure that you come out of the store with the best supply that matches your budget. I highly reccomend anybody who hasnt gone to R and R sports and has a question about archery, guns, and fishing to pay them a visit.

Couple years ago wife and i went in on xmas eve about an hour before closing. Bought 2 p938 sigs 9 mms i was about 75.00 shy because atm wouldnt give me an extra 100. The owner said Merry Christmas Girls and Handed us our guns. They were $200.00 cheaper for the gun i wanted and the only store in western mass who had it in stock. I went back 6 months later to buy my muzzleloader. Put it on layaway!!!! I had never heard of a gun store with layaway! Next gun i buy which will be soon. Will be bought here.

Ive been there twice... Ive read reviews of them being unfriendly and heard first hand from people about their rudeness, but they have been professional and helpful to me both times. Ill be going back again. Maybe you should talk to a guy named Phil... Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the details. YMMV.PS Im not in any way affiliated with the shop. Was almost not going to visit because of their reputation.Just went back again for the 3rd time... Very helpful and courteous. Salesman answered all my questions and brought out a few pistols for me to handle. Professional and helpful. Also have some of the lowest prices Ive seen in the area.

This is probably the best gun shop overall that Western Massachusetts has to offer. Lots of new and used guns at prices that beat all the other Western MA dealers and even some of the Eastern MA dealers. Worth stopping at for sure. My only criticism? I wish that would put at least their used gun inventory on-line. I keep missing out on interesting guns just because I cant get out that way more often.

R&R is great. I find they give me nice service and advice and I am new to some of this stuff.. so they have to be patient. Sometimes they are busy but they do pretty well overall.Double thumbs up to the bow guys Ken and Rich (although Rich still smells like smoke, from his house fire,.. just kidding). Better have Ken tune the bow next time after that joke!Anyways, .. always treated me well,.. I would recommend them others for sure.

We bought a sig p938 a spare mag and two holsters from R&R mags were same price as anywhere else including online and the pistol was $45-50 dollars cheaper than several other shops. They let my girlfriend check out half a dozen other guns before she picked one out. They also have guns in stock that other shops tell me can not be ordered.
