Sportsman’s Warehouse Indianapolis Southside to open.

[drillsgt]

I stopped in yesterday afternoon, seems like a nice store, sort of like the smaller Gander Mountain we used to have in Greenfield. Gun prices didn't look too bad really based on the couple I looked at. I've been interested in the Franchi Momentum Elites and they had several in stock, good prices on the Tikka's too. They had a ton of ammo, 9mm started at around 18.99 for 50 FMJ's. Most rifle calibers that I could see as well.

Sounds like a road trip is in my future.

They even had 4 and 6 inch Pythons at MSRP, no gouging lol.

I stopped by this morning to have a look around. Talking with the man behind the gun counter I heard a curious thing. He mentioned
1). The store has a plan to have signage asking customers to unload their firearms for entry to the store. Not for returns... but as a general rule.
2). They are unable to sell pistols at this time since they do not have approval from the State of Indiana yet. He mentioned that the one and only person that approves such things is on vacation. I do not know much about these things... it just seemed odd, what with the opening happening on an upcoming Friday. I think the fact that they are open is just a soft open.

Sounds like someone at the counter that doesn't know anything.

$18.9 per 50 is on par with Cabela's. Will definitely check them out. Plus I really need to stock my empty cabinet of 12 GA target loads.

They have 5 box limit and only 1 bulk box allowed over 100 rounds.

I hope they have a used gun section like Gander used to. I often looked for deals and found a few.

Same. Bought a Winchester model 70 featherweight pushfeed XTR in 243 for under $400. Those were the days….

The Ft Wayne store does.

For a store that is unable to sell pistols, they had a lot of pistols yesterday.

Got CCI small pistol primers Tuesday after a buddy gave me a call about them. Limit 1K per customer, per day. The wife and I were both customers! Went back this morning. The CCI SPs were gone but I got 1K Federal SP magnum match primers and Mrs DRob got 1K for her brother. I also picked up 8 lbs of Win 231 for $150. They still had a few primers, mostly LP and LR, and a little bit of powder. No SR primers. Some rifle and pistol brass and bullets. Glad to see any amount of components on the shelves.

Went for the first time Thursday afternoon, lots of goodies chould have filled a cart but said hello to Charlie who was in the gun dept and headed home. Nice store, welcome addition to the southside.

I’m a bit late to getting this news. My wife saw it and informed me this weekend. I came here to see the feedback.
I had bought thousands in gear from Sportsman’s Warehouse in UT before moving to IN. Canoe, binos, waders, decoys, cases, holsters, ammo, fishing gear, etc…..
Always loved shopping the huge store in the Salt Lake Valley.
I’m sorry to see the earlier postings that this is now under the Bass Pro umbrella. I figure it’ll just be another outlet for similar goods at similar pricing. Won’t keep me from going and checking it out.

I found far more good used gun deals online when Gander used to post them than I did in store but they were definitely there to be found most of the time.

BTW, FCC squashed the deal for the Bass Pro purchase.

Wife and I visited last Thursday, not impressed, lots of good ammo and accessories, all high priced.

The Fort Wayne store has no such sign.

I like Sportsman Warehouse, I`ve ordered a bit from them online. I`ll always miss Galyan`s though. Galyan`s was my dream place.

Galyan's was a great store. Their firearms section was actually staffed by knowledge associates and they were pro-2a. It went downhill fast after they were purchased by Dick's. Dick's Sporting Good has been anti-2a for quite a while, but finally decided to be 100% anti-gun last year. Good riddance to them!

Cabala's / Bass Pro are fairly good stores, although sometimes a bit overpriced.

Prices are why I don't buy hardly anything in person retail anymore. It's just absurd now.
