About
Welcome to Bullseye Firearms Appraisals!
We are committed to being the most accurate thorough firearms appraisal site.
Just because the gun is old does not mean it is worth a lot of money.
My name is Larry Strimple and I am an avid gun collector and have been appraising firearms for several years. My interest in collecting started as a young lad hunting and shooting with my father. He was and an avid collector and I guess the apple didn’t fall far from the tree!
I enjoy competitive clays shooting with the National Sporting Clays Association and seeing the all the different shotguns during the competitions. Shooting high power rifles is also a hobby of mine and I enjoy the sound of the gong as the bullet hits the gong down range.
Being a firearms appraiser also gives me the opportunity to hold and admire some the most rare and expensive firearms in the world.
