Nearest one is 100 miles away, stop in there when I'm in the Big Town.
Glad to hear they're maintaining their independence........................for now.
Vista outdoors or similar will likely try to snap them up if they make a good profit for a few cycles.
Sycamore, they're likely passing costs on to the consumer at what the crazy market will bear. It Sucketh. My closest Sportsman's is 2 miles from my house. Their powder and primer supply is limited but I admit it is less expensive than the Bass Pro just 10 miles from my house. Like many of you I am glad they did not fall in with Bass Pro and Cabelas. We all know what Cabelas was like many years ago and what it is like today. Sportsman's is not perfect but there is little I need from Bass Pro that Sportman's can't cover. I have gone to buying online and then picking it up from the store. I certainly hope they stay independent. kwg

Oregon, where most of Northern Calif shops anyway is blessed with a regional chain that sells everything from sporting goods to work clothes, electronics, a little of everything. I am a faithful BiMart customer, they don't have the buying power of SW, but their prices are good and it is employee owned, not much turnover and good friendly service.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Cracks me up how "Northern California" is considered everything north of Los Angeles to some, and anybody that shops at BiMart to others! LOL

Butte Co? Nobody knows where that is...they shop in Reno I've heard. Now take poor ol Valsdad, he's probably closer to Portland than Sacramento.

Not saying I blame them, but lately when I see 8# powder for sale at our local SW,
it tends to be the same price as Powder Valley, plus shipping, plus HAZMAT.
Maybe a coincidence, or just good planning.
Used to be some pretty good deals on clearance items. The one here hasn't had any powder or primers on the shelf in a long time, at any price.

For big box sporting goods it's SW or Scheels for me. Last time I was in BPS was to buy a P365 they had the best price on 3 or 4 years ago.

You're harsh to your elders. By the way, them targets I bought from you are defective, I hit one the other day with some .30-06 armor piercing and it made a mark. You owe me a can of paint.

Wife is in Ulta Beauty right now and Sportsman's Warehouse is right next door. I'd rather sit in my truck and people watch than even walk in there.

Since they're based here, we have a bunch of SW stores. Sure their shelves have been bare or sparse for a while. Have you been in a grocery store lately? ANY store lately?
I go only to the fishing department, and things there have improved recently. I just picked up a Quantum bait casting rod and reel combo for $59. It's not top of the line, but it's better than the price would indicate. Wasn't looking for another combo, but there it was, and so... They still offer a Veteran discount, and I've never found their prices to be worse than anywhere else.
