Midwest Targets

[Rumrunner]

I have been discussing purchasing a rifle from this company. They seem to have quite a few in stock that I am interested in. Both big bores and standard smaller caliber rifles. I would like to know if anyone has had an experience with this company either positive or negative.
They are at https://midwesttargets.com/. Any info would be appreciated

Looks like it is a scam. Their address is a gun shop but when I called they had no affiliation and had never heard of them.
BEWARE OF MIDWESTTARGETS.COM

They lost me with their claim of 15 minute shipping. Dream on.

Went to the website. Put some primer’s in the cart. Clicked the checkout button.

Surprise! They don’t accept credit cards like a legitimate business would. They only take cash transfers that are impossible to get refunded when your purchase never arrives.

I think the assessment of a scam by @Rumrunner is spot on.

I asked if I could pick up the rifle instead of having it shipped. Said I was going to be in the Chicago area and I would like to make sure the rifle fit first. They told me they could provide a location that I could pick up the rifle. I imagine that would be after the purchase and probably a vacant lot.

Chicago??!! ....

First check Google Earth and Google Maps for the location, directions, and verification of being an established and operational business.

With the assumption of cash on hand/cash transaction could be a set up.

I'm going +2 you're correct on this as the seller is a scammer.

In their “Contact Us” page there is an address that is in Lyons IL. The address is for Midwest Guns. Totally different business that has no affiliation with Midwest Targets.

Midwest targets was, at one time, a brand of clay pigeons I could buy at the farm store. I cannot help otherwise.

Midwest Target Co. is different than Midwest targets
