Anyone here have experience with this company? I received one of their catalogs the other day, and their scope prices looked decent. But I've never heard of them, and didn't request the catalog.
All the best,
Glenn

..no problems so far, they'v ebeen around for a good while, not a fly-by-night operation, and the optics have been well priced.

Have never ordered from them, but also have never heard a single bad thing about them. Be confident if you order.

They're fine. I usually shop Midway...all other things being equal, but Natchez had a sale on some closeout Bushnell scopes. Dang near 1/2 price. I ordered two and wish I had ordered 3 more.
The main problem I'm seeing with all the mail order places is the lack of stock on hand. I suppose everyone is keeping inventory low to keep costs down, but it is really irritating to find sales items on backorder. With shipping so expensive now, paying again to ship a back ordered item is painful.

I have ordered from them numerous times without any problems. They usually have good sales on specific items.

I like the website, service, and selection better at Midway. But if you can find it at Natchez, it will always be cheaper. I have always had reliable service from them, and usually get my shotgun ammo from them - sometimes for as much as 20% less than Midway!

TOP NOTCH I have never had any problem with Natchez,as mentioned above they have verry good scope prices
I usualy order from Midway only because they are closer than Mid South & Natches
& the shipping time is shorter. the only time the shipping time game realy backfired on me was when I needed something NOW & Cabelas had it in stock western NE being so close to CO I often receive my order the next day , well that item was shipped from Wisconsin & took 4-5 days next time I need it now I will have to check to see where it is at
I was also introduced on this site to powder valley if ordering enough powder to make the haz mat work out worth looking into

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the responses.

Too late, I guess, but I'm a Natchezss customer as well. I do like them even though their website is not as good as Midway's or Cabela's. Don't order a whole lot of stuff from anybody these days, but I have had nothing but good experiences with Natchezss.

I've bought from them all, and Natchez has had the best prices. Their site totally sucks though. They also don't remove discontinued items from their site, so you might be waiting for something and the manufacturer doesn't even make it anymore.

I think midsouth shooters supply beats Natchez prices hands down. I purchased a millett red dot from midsouth for $52.00 at Natchez its $114.00. they ship same day also. Check it out part# RD00905

Why not? I've never ordered from there but they are on my list to check out if I can't get what I need elsewhere.

Natchez SS protects their dealers in the surrounding states by not selling to the general public. I've purchased a few things from them with good results. But I'm in Missouri.

Hi there a great company to deal with and the only one I can get to ship shooting supplies to Canada.
They have little trouble beating the prices we have to pay here in Canada ( Even with shipping).

They won't sell to me in Alabama, either. I would like to do business with them at times because of their pricing, but, no can do because of their policy.:mad:

There prices are pretty good on somethings. Took me almost a year to finally get a cataloge and it just came last week.

I have been ordering from them for 10 years. Quick service and very competitive prices. I can't keep the flyers out of my mailbox.:-) I guess they regard me as a good customer now.

I also live in Alabama and can't order from them, well actually I have two ways that I can.
1. have it delivered to my nephew in Houstan Tx and let him bring it when he comes to visit, usually twice each year.
2. Have my sister order from her office letterhead and then they ship no problem, at least it worked once, haven't tried again. She is a lawyer, makes me wonder if their practice is legal.
I think it's just a courtesy they extend to their wholesalers.

Never had any problem with Natchez. I price shop the items, if they beat the price elsewhere, they get the order.

Natchez told me one reason they wouldnt ship or send me a catalog was because of the taxes here in the vol state...

Natchez doesn't sell to you because they are seeking to protect the little local guys. As far as I'm concerned thats even more of a reason for everyone else to purchase from them.

Matchbox99 that may be a noble gesture toward the small dealers, but it's discrimination against those of us who live in Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama.
You may not have to deal with this stuff where you live, but if their adds are going to be published here then they should sell here, as simple as that!
Not Midway, Midsouth, Graft&Sons or any other company I can think of has a policy like theirs.

mattsbox99, sorry I got your name wrong, but the site wouldn't let me do an edit.

Its a business practice, Beartooth Bullets is located 100 miles from the Canadian border, yet he won't sell to Canadians.
Its not discrimination, private business can do whatever they want. Ramshot powders is 150 miles away from me and I can't buy from them.

Sounds like me Im only 150 miles from Natchez their in Chattanooga. Midsouth is in Clarksville which is about 400 miles away. I understand the buisness side of it. Wouldnt you want the extra revenue generated from sales from 3 states of shooters hunters and reloaders outfitters that live in those states? Good business means more customers.
