I’d def recommend using the layaway program.
Hi Donald and welcome. I would stay away (Layaway is the better option or other financing). bbb.org/us/mt/bozeman/profile/loans/credova-financial-llc-1296-1000126717/complaints ---------- Cheers and stay safe!
Good evening to you!! Credova is a buy now pay later program offered by Bud's. You get what you want now. Make payments on it later. See link for more information. Hope this helps. Have a good rest of your day.

Credova is a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) platform for purchases, letting you get instant pre-approval with no hard credit check, choose from flexible plans (like 3-month 0% interest or longer terms), and pay over time with early buyout options, offering budget control but requiring careful review of lease vs. loan terms and timely payments to avoid fees or higher costs.
How Credova Works
Shop: Add items to your cart at a Credova partner retailer (often outdoor, sporting goods, firearms).
Apply: Select Credova at checkout and fill out a short application to get instant pre-approved offers.
Choose Plan: Review multiple financing/leasing options, including 3-month interest-free periods or longer installment plans, and select one.
Pay Over Time: Complete the purchase and make payments on schedule; early buyout is usually possible.
Key Benefits
No Hard Credit Impact for Prequalification: Get offers without hurting your credit score.
Flexibility: Choose from various plans (e.g., pay in 4, monthly, or 90-day interest-free).
Early Buyout: Pay off your contract early without prepayment penalties (after any promotional period).
Transparency: Fees and charges are disclosed in your contract.

Hi Donald, Credova is a buy now, pay later platform that works a little differently from most. Instead of issuing a virtual card you can use anywhere, Credova partners with specific retailers, often those operating outside the mainstream financial ecosystem. Your approval applies only to the merchant you choose, not across multiple stores.

I would not recommend Credova, I have read many stories about people who end up paying 3-4 times the actual price of the gun after finance charges.
Layaway is a better option in my opinion, although you only have 90 days to pay it off.
layaway is easy to use. Simply put the item in your cart and proceed to checkout. At the payment page, choose layaway as payment option. At that time, you will be prompted to put 20% down, and you're all done.
There are no fees during the first 30 days. A $10 fee will be added to layaway orders that remain open after this initial period. After 60 days, an additional $15 fee will be applied to your balance. During the Layaway period, you can either make multiple payments, or just make one final payment at the end, at which time we will ship your firearm.

Stay safe & have a great day!
