Used to be one called the Powder Horn out in Hillsboro, but it was good only if you like blackpowder arms. I am still haunted by the pristine Ballard No. 5 Pacific they had there a few years back.

Lots of good reviews here. Put your cursor on the thread title and it will show you the address without having to open the thread to see where the shop is.

Buddy, thanks for that update. I have always been puzzled by the lack of a truly great gun store in Portland.

Portland is not a firearms hating utopia, just the politicatins. Oregon is well knowned as a training ground or spring board for recent political graduates or intern's from the east coast to start a career in politic's before going on a national level. Oregonian are now seeing the patterned and hopefully will understand to elect native's not Kalifornian or worse yet a New Yorker with jewish upbringing.
