Gander Mountain - Page 3

Splagt · 04-29-2008

The selection and price of the reloading supplies at the Greenwood Gander Mountain are a joke. I can order from Midway, pay the shipping, and still be dollars ahead. When it comes to primers and powder, I make a trip up to Lafayette and go to Sportsman's Warehouse. Many of their reloading powders are $5.00 less per pound than Gander Mountain. They always have a huge selection.

Other than cleaning supplies - since it's close, I don't spend money at Gander.

Other than my own ignorance, I've NEVER had a problem at Gander Mountain.

75% of my firearms purchases have been from there...both Castleton and the Greenwood store.

It's MY experience that the gun folks down in Greenwood are heads and shoulders above the folks at Castleton, with few exceptions.

The GW folks are (mostly) all shooters, hunters, and reloaders. Quite knowledgeable and personable. Their 'smithing charges are a little high, but Lee is also a heck of a nice guy.

Just like any other shop and shop employees, everyone has bad days. Stores have busy times and not-so-busy times.

As they say out east "C'est la vie."

When I was at Gander in Terre Haute last week it appeared their gun inventory was down somewhat. Ammunition was still overpriced and handguns were not cheap but other than that, business as normal :rolleyesedit:

I've had good experience at the Greenwood location as well. Prices are never great, unless it is a sale (like the two 10/22RRs the are $199.95 till the 15th).

Just purchased a Ruger 10/22 RR for $117(after tax) after coupon and $75 rewards checks from credit card points. Everything went great and guys were really nice (evansville location). While doing the paperwork the system did crash but was still taken care of in a timely manner.

The last time my wife and I ventured into our local GM, two associates behind the firearms counter asked if we were interested in anything, and when my wife indicated a pistol she'd like to checkout, they handed it to her then began conversing with each other about another pistol, rudely ignoring both of us. So we just walked out.

The only time I visit GM is to conduct business with the gunsmith who is a really nice fellow, or to purchase powder and primers, if and when they have what I want in stock. :rolleyesedit:
