Got a Dick's sporting goods opening up pretty close.
Can't say I've ever been in one.
Should I be excited?

Not overly - they are a lot like all of the other "sporting goods" stores these days.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Can get some really good stuff on sale, if you don't mind buying from a store that dropped AR's because of public opinion.

No.
Maybe if you like golf clubs and sportswear,
No handguns, no evil black rifles.

Sportsman's Warehouse still rules. They carry guns & shooting supplies, but they're not in the guns or shooting supply business. The guns will top-out at Savage Axis / Rem 783. White & green box ammo in .270/.308/.30-06. .22lr exists only in rumors. Nikon ProStaff is their high-end optics. And don't get me started on their personnel. FC

Just another big box....I used to shop at the original "Dick's" on Court street in Binghampton when I lived down that way in the '70 (as my dad used to since they opened in the late '40's. ) That was a great store; lots of guns and reloading stuff, fishing tackle, they'd beat anybody's price on anything.

Yeah,
The gun counter wizard suggested Tru-Glo as "one of the best" red dot sights.

I scored a pink sleeping bag and a pink tackle box there for my grand-niece last Christmas, which was the only stuff I ever bought there. What does that tell you?

They do carry decent hunting stuff...and they put it on incredibly cheap closeout post season. Other than that, not much there I care about.

It's been several years since I visited the Dick's that replaced Sportsman's Warehouse after they abandoned their Las Cruces store. I think that two trips did it for me. Fortunately for us here in this forgotten corner of the nation, Sportsman's is opening a new store in LC next month. Not so good for the independents, but at least there will be a decent variety of guns, powder, bullets, reloading tools, clothing, etc., from which to choose.

Only been in one but it was pretty sad and expensive. My grandkids didnt even buy anything with the money we gave them. Not really much for guns and ammo at all. ED K

So similar to Gander Mountain or Bass Pro? Far worse.

Should I be excited? Don't waste your time. I have one about 3 miles from the house, been there once. And I didn't spend a penny there.

The one here does carry handguns and scopes like Zeiss and Leupold but sucks in general.

White & green box ammo in .270/.308/.30-06. .22lr exists only in rumors. Nikon ProStaff is their high-end optics. And don't get me started on their personnel. FC Basically this. Their golf section is decent. I will say that you have to REALLY watch them with their ads in store. They LOVE the bait and switch and it takes a while to get them to come around to make things right. I refuse to shop there anymore because of it. Example - sign says "4 oz Scent Killer - 3.99" and then the shelf is full of the stuff but it rings up at 9.99. When asked about it they say "sorry, yes Scent Killer but not THAT Scent Killer - we meant the other stuff, 2 aisle over" - sorry not my problem. The sign doesn't specify and this particular bottle was under the sign the last 3 times I was here (used to buy a lot of golf balls there) and I'm the first to all your BS on it. They eventually let me buy at that price but asked I never come back. I was calm and collected the whole time. Brother went in the following week and same stuff under the same sign for the same price. Wasn't a mistake but a a bait and switch.
