That's just silly, no offense. There is no comparison between Dick's and Cabelas for hunting, camping, firearms, and equipment. Cabelas is top notch. For golf, etc, Dick's is obviously much better. I agree. I buy the vast majority of my hunting stuff online, including firearms. But Cabela's has its place and is certainly more firearms friendly than most big box stores.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.

The local stores in my area and we have 2, don't impress me as far as rifles offerings go. A couple of years ago I did buy a Benelli semi auto shotgun from them (montifeltro was the only choice). They also carry a couple of choices in Beretta semis as well.
They would not be my first stop to check out any gun purchases. Academy Sports would get a visit out of me before Dicks.

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 +1 ... I have not been in the Dick's nearby in 10+ years.

It is good that many of us avoid dicks.

No guns or ammunition at all in our local stores. I go in about once every 2 years to buy something for a different sport. Every time I let them know that they are missing the boat not carrying hunting gear particularly good boots. They don't care much at all, When I worked there briefly in 2003, inventory decisions were made from afar. We just priced and placed what they sent us. Occasionally, a muckety-muck from On High would come in and tell us everything we were doing wrong. Our stock ranged from barely mid-level stuff to trash. I might be tempted to walk in to one to check on .22 ammo, but that's all.

There's one I can't avoid, though it's caused me no end of trouble.
