Be happy you have a Bass Pro and not a Gander Mountain.


We have Sportsman's Warehouse - fits right in with the descriptions of the other big boxes. They came in, ran off all the small (Good) sporting goods stores and now have a monopoly. They offer very little and mostly just the junk that turns over quickly. Can't remember the last time I bought something there that was actually a good buy. At least Cabelas has the Bargain Cave, used guns and a nice catalog.


This kind of surprises me. There used to be a SW store in Oklahoma City. Had lots of high end glass. Clothes were better than Bass Pro but not top shelf. They were always busy but then closed when SW restructured.

The SW store in Cheyenne also has lots of good glass and a big selection of ammo. Probably the most high end glass I've ever seen. Of course, I didn't buy anything except an elk call.

The Sidney, Neb Cabelas is huge but did not carry the old clothes line I used to buy from them. I usually can count on picking up game bags there.
