From 1-10, 10 being the best, rate any gun stores, with a brief justification, if you like. Hopefully, as always, this thread hasn't been done recently.
In my view:
Four Seasons: 9 it would be a 10, due to great service and prices, very friendly and enthusiastic staff, and Carl, the owner, who is a great guy, but for the mobs and waiting times
I have bought many guns here and it's pretty much always a good experience. Great selection with lots of used guns too. Dog lover.
CCGGuns: 8 great loft where you can check out lots of long guns, very good selection, good prices, courteous
North Shore Firearms: 5 great selection of holsters, some guns, prices not bad, one guy's very friendly, another one thinks he's brilliant and shouldn't be wasting his time mixing in with the unwashed peasant for customers
Hunter Trading Post: 4 okay selection, okay prices, old man and son can be pretty condescending
B&K Sales: 8 nice selection, always has some vintage (WW2) guns), a bit pricier, very friendly and knowledgeable, retired vet
Pullman Arms: 7 small innovative machine shop, some guns, okay prices, very friendly
Gun Parlor: 5 lots of guns to rent and buy, not cheap, some employees are basically used car salesmen
MA Firearms: 6 mostly new stuff, very businesslike but courteous
Kittery Trading Post (ME): 7 non-stop erection for the amount of guns, and non-MA compliant guns specifically, handling 100's of long guns is fine, higher prices, next door to Bob's Seafood stand (+1)
Skips (NH): 8 awesome service, higher prices, nice selection
Gartman's: 8 lots of really cool stuff and very friendly/helpful owner, tad pricier
Cabela's 6: lots of guns, interesting gun "library", most guns are retail, very businesslike atmosphere
