I'd like to buy a new AT Pro and pinpointer. I'd like to get a package deal.

I'd also like to buy it through this site, meaning one of its sponsors, if possible.

Although I live in Canada I have a Montana shipping address.

Any suggestions about how to get the best deal within those parameters?

I've never ordered from him personally, but I have heard that Bart from Big Boys Hobbies is a great guy and a great salesman. From what I've been told, he has top notch service, works with your needs (combos), and gives prices that you can't resist. Any other sponsor on the forum should give you a great deal as well!

If you call any of our forum sponsors they will be glad to help you out. Different people use different sponsors. The sponsors will treat you right and take care of your pricing and order. Their reputation and business on this forum ensure that. I have never seen any of our sponsors get bad mouthed on this forum for doing poor business. I have only read positive and good things about them. I use Tom at Miller DMZ but would not hesitate to use any one of them. Pick up the phone and give one a call.

I agree with rainyday101, any one of the sponsors will hook you up. I have used Wayne at Metal Detecting Stuff exclusively so far and could not be happier. Fair, fast and knowledgeable.

Call Bart at Big Boys Hobbies, he will give you a good deal and he always is a straight shooter and don't add a bunch of crap you will never need

I would see who on here would give the best deal and guarantee fast shipping with tracking numbers. Tell them you are a member of t-net. I have bought from them all at one time or another depends upon what deals they are offering. I like to research and shop and then talk to someone before I place the order. Makes things smoother in my opinion.
I also have found good deals from local shops.
Good luck with your new purchase.

Bart is the man. Give him a call and ask for his best package deal. I got my AT Pro from him 2 years ago. He does ship asap.
Christo....expensive??? I disagree completely! This is the only hobbie that I've been involved in that actually pays for itself.

Another vote for Bart at Big Boys Hobbies. The man is impressive, free fast shipping and the lowest price you will pay.

I bought my AT Pro from Bart - and I have nothing but good feedback to share. Make sure you mention that you heard about him on a forum. I found him on a different forum after seeing nothing but positive feedback on there as well.

Talk to him about search coils as well. You may want to see if you can get a smaller DD coil as part of the package, depending upon where all you intend to hunt.

I just ordered my AT Pro yesterday from Bart! His prices and communication are second to none IMO! I placed my order late yesterday afternoon at 5:20pm EST and it still made it on the truck the same day! Make sure you tell him you're from the forum also. Good luck!
