Gander Mountain Greenwood

[longbarrel]

I know people don't like them, but GM Greenwood has CVA Optima Magnums in 50 caliber with stainless, fluted barrel, 20 295 gn. powerbelts H.P., cleaner, patches, starter. the whole works for $229 right now. I believe they are mis marked, but just thought I would pass the info along. They have the fiber optic sights, so..........the cheapest I could find them anywhere else was $289 and that did not include shipping.

Every once in a while you can find a good deal there, just like anywhere. I picked up my last frontloader at Rural King for a song, turns out the price was so low because it was a discontinued model, but it was brand new, and nearly half the cost of the replacement model.

My only beef with Gander Mountain is their prices but I will still shop there on occasion. What is it that others dislike about their stores?

I was just at the Greenwood GM this past Friday AM to pick up a Ruger 77/17 w/ walnut stock. They were the ONLY GM that had one in stock and I have to say I guess I do not see what the dislike for them is? I had a great experience there. Although I will say this was only my second visit to the store and maybe if I lived closer like many fellow INGO'ers and was able to frequent this store on a regular basis I may see things differently?

l think its the people who want to support the smaller locally owned stores. Nothing wrong with that, but for me GM is a one stop shop for many people. They have the largest selection of rifles and handguns I have seen. Plus its a good place to waste some time.

I agree. I always try my LGS first as I want to support the small business owner. Thing is... my LGS tried ALL of her vendors and could not get me a Ruger 77/17 with walnut stock. Not even on back order. So I called GM. The Ruger 77/17 in walnut stock must be popular because I called all the GM's north then south and only Greenwood had one and ONLY one. It in my gun safe now.

Gander is a good place to go and look and handle a firearm but they are too expensive to buy from usually. A couple months ago when I was looking at a Ruger SR1911 Commander they wanted $799.00 and Indy Trading Post had it for $689.00. Any new ones are just too expensive there but I see people buying I guess some people just don't know they can get it cheaper elsewhere.

I purchased a sig P250 sub compact for $300 two years ago at GM. That seemed to be a good price for it.

Like others have said, GM has good deals every now and then and they're a good place to look as they have a lot of firearms in stock to checkout.

GM is always too high on guns. When I was shopping for a Ruger 77/44, GM Greenwood had three used 77/44s at prices higher than Bradis had on new 77/44s!

Most of their prices are high, but once in a while you do find something priced well. I picked up a brand new 10/22 there a couple of years back for $225. On the other hand, I have seen some pretty silly prices there too. I do like buying shirts there though.

I get the wanting to support local and if more local shops were like Beech Grove I'd be all about supporting them. I've noticed that employees in a lot of local shops seem like they don't give a ****. I've been to quite a few around town and BGF is the only one that I didn't feel like I was being talked down to and inconveniencing them.

Wow that is good to know. Never shot a muzzle loader, don't know anything about it, but I have been advised that the CVA is the one to go to. I m checking them out. Still have 2 tags to fill.

I agree, feel that way as well. You have to take commission out of the equation, if you do that then there will be no more problems. Every time I've been to BGF they have been more than willing to talk and answer and not push. Not a lot of other places like that.

I like GM for the variety and sheer number of guns they have. Their prices are almost always on the high side.

 

[Atkinson]

I enjoy looking at the inventory at Gander Mountain, but will never buy prices are to high!

Went to gander mountain in castleton and stood around for a while trying to get someone to help me in accessories. I almost left and a lady passing through helped me probably will not return. Greenwood seemed to have good customer service last time I visited.

If you stop in often you can score a great deal on something seems like I have gotten my best gun deals from GM.
