scottb Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I need a new avy beacon. And I pretty much need it right now. Which shop in Portland has the best selection? I'm hoping to not drive all over town. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemp22 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Probably the Mountain shop (around NE 6th & Broadway) or OMC (around NE 29th & Sandy) are gonna be your best bet. Edit: just checked the websites, and it looks like OMC should have a couple different models. I didn't find any on mountainshop site, but their website isn't really useful or accurate, so they might actually have some in the store .. Edit again: REI carries at least one model, but probably not currently on the shelves in the store. Probably best to call each store (OMC, Mountain shop, or downtown REI) to see if any of them have them in stock) Edited April 18, 2008 by hemp22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted April 18, 2008 Author Share Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the reply, hemp. I've also been checking online for what local shops have. Looks like OMC will be the best bet (look likes they've moved since the last time I was there). REI usually seems pretty limited with what they have in stock. Never been to Mountain Shop (I ain't from 'round here), may have to check it out anyway. I just wanted some local input on the subject.

Hendershot Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 OMC has my vote. To bad you need it now. I just got a BCA Tracker off Backcountry.com with a 20% off no sales tax (not that it's an issue for you) & free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 OMC online and backcountry.com show the tracker at about the same price. Am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
