Gander Mountain

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:

i go the gander mountain in coldwater, and have a lot of bad experiences there. tried to have them buy a muzzle loader from me and the guy up and shut the case as fast and said the don't be the because u cant up a warranty one them. i understand that but when they had use one on the shelf and u usually by a used stuff as is. also i can buy ammo cheaper at wally world or rural king.

i went to the gander mt in terre haute last friday and the guy was auctually helpful. GASP! no, really usually terre haute is'nt too bad. overpriced,usually. but the guy managed to bounce between 2 older gentlemen looking to trade a rifle, a yong boy asking about a knife and me needing accesories for my surefire. and never ignored one of us.that and they have a decent used guns section at decent prices.

could be far worse. terre haute gander mt is fine by me

Gander Mountain in Castleton is generally pretty helpful and knowledgeable. Of course, they're as overpriced as every other GM.
