The several LGS closest to me are geared more toward handguns and tactical rifles. Obviously a place like Cabela’s has a few, but I’m hoping to find a central Indiana LGS that has quality hunting rifles. Any suggestions?
Hendricks county has several options. Copperhead ridge has several level and bolt guns suitable, as well as a rotating array of used guns that you could use.
I'll second Beech Grove Firearms... I've always had great experiences there.
I did also notice that Shoot Point Blank in Greenwood had a decent number of rifles on the wall when I was there yesterday. However, although I use their shooting range quite a bit, I've not been impressed with their pricing or customer service when I've browsed the gun selection.
Target sports in Sheridan has a pre 64 winchester on the rack, not sure of caliber, maybe 270 IIRC. Among others.
And Riley Brothers right up the road from you on the way to Sheridan usually has something, worth a try.
