If you can get in that bar/back room, it's worth the price in gas. I would be willing to bet that you'd come away with the gas cost to get there in molecules of very expensive guns that got stuck in your nose just breathing the air. I have managed to let a few bargains stay in the store when I visit too though.

Well if you're drooling over 770's, gander mt is probably your best bet. Check Fleet Farm too.
Where you driving from? Capra's in Blaine is a great spot. The best gun shop I've ever been to is in Minnetonka, called The Gun Stop. This. I live very close to this store, and it is a great store owned by good people.

Didn't know that Ahlmans did Cabelas gunsmithing at Owatonna. Interesting.

Good Evening Gents,
OT... did anyone know of Chippewa Shooters Service in Bloomington ? Had some nice correspondence with Don Ahl back in the 70's. Talked me out of sporterizing a Mex Mauser and using a new commercial action. Thanks, just a bit of memory lane.

I was bummed to say the least.. I was lucky and there at the right time. He was walking out of it and I caught a peek. I just wanted to see the bar, that alone was beautiful. When he opend the vault door to the good stuff, I didn't know what to say. I've never seen anything like it. Probably never will again.
