I get frequent text updates from Scheels. Upcoming sales and such. Today I received this one:

I like it. I also like Scheels. Been buying from them for a year or so and find them to have good service and prices.
Just ordered from the for the first time. Got a wool blend jacket and bibs (their brand) for a really good price. Found the coat on Google, then it went in sale the next day. See how they hold up this year.
I really like the Scheels brand fishing rods. Plus if you break one it's a no questions asked return for a new one. At least it used to be. I thought I heard you might have to pay half now.

Limited warranty now. I haven’t dug into it deeply. But not automatic replacement.
I was a little skeptical when Scheels built a store near us. I thought, great another big box store to kill the little guys. Well, I was wrong! They are a damn good company and I don't mind buying from them at all. They seem to have things in the store that other stores do not. My wife will even go with me every now and then!

A couple years ago I purchased a pair of Scheel's brand upland hunting pants. After opening day weekend in Nebraska this year, I noticed just above the calf, they were starting to separate. I took them back to the store and the return desk chick said "Oh my, that's not good, we need to exchange those!". No questions, no hesitation. Told me to go upstairs, get another pair and you'll be on your way!

Doesn't get better than that!

Here is another reason.

From my understanding, the new rods have a three year warranty. If you have a old rod with the lifetime warranty, they replace it with a new rod that comes with a three year warranty which starts when the rod was replaced.

Scheels is a great store, but some are better than others within the chain.

I think I got that same outfit but went with the hoodie instead of the jacket.

I grabbed their house brand fleece/wool parka on clearance for like $30 in Salt Lake City a couple years ago. I wear the heck out of it in cold weather hunting.

Never been in one. But I sold them a ton of guns back when I worked in the Wholesale Firearms Industry.
They are good folks.
Was at Scheels today in Sandy, UT. Great store and very helpful. They also price match.

Very unlike the Cabelas here in Utah. They suck. The buy out by BP has killed that store.

Yep. Ass Pro has ruined Cabela’s.
Our Scheels has a Winchester 1886 in .50-110 sitting in the cabinet. I think it's nitro proofed too, but slow twist. In any case, that's a lot of cash to have tied up in a collectible gun.
Scheels is the only reason to visit Billings.

I just started buying from them about a year or so ago myself and like them, as well.
Fuddruckers is the only thing I stopped for in Billings

Oh and to take a dump


Ya know....cause Clarksville is bigger so pfffft 😃👏🏻💩
Adult daughters must have got on that dang ferris wheel 20 plus times. The grandson got tired of it after the 5th time and I took him for some ice cream.

I work at Scheels here in Colorado in the gun department. I came down with covid and then found that my back had been broken when I was an officer, but my back muscles had taken over. After Covid those muscles attrified and I was a hurtin unit. I followed that up with Covid a 2nd time which had me on oxygen for 4 months, they supported me during the whole time. Going on a year and a half now of dealing with this crap. They let me work when I could and kept me employed. I did have to take a demotion as I couldn't keep up with my supervisor duties. They are unabashed conservative, faith based folks and if you work hard for them, they work hard for you. They give back 10% of their profits to the local community and help out youth groups in area such Colorado Youth Outdoors. Working for them has been the best move in years.

Heal up well and keep on keeping on.

Yep all their store brand gear is like that. Their rods really are good rods too.
Scheels is hands down the best sporting good retailer in the US.

Great inventory, great employees, and most of the Scheels branded fishing gear is top notch.

And if it breaks they replace it like Sears used to handle tools.

No questions asked.

Yall missing out without a Bojangles, although they have jacked prices up lately like most others.
Never even heard of them until I was looking for magazines for my t1x. Best prices out there and quick shipping

In todays age that is inspiring to hear. I may have to go buy some stuff from them today! Might even take the wife.

That is a powerful endorsement. Thank you.
I’ve only dealt with them once and that was on-line….only freaking store in the nation that had 1/6oz frog (green) Rooster Tails. I bought the 4 they had in inventory. Still browse their emails here and there.
Nothing like trying to look at pistols through mesh, but there’s always the Ferris wheel for getting your mind off soccer balls.
If you are listening Sheels,
Altoona Pa needs a store!

Last time I was in Scheels it was a pain in the ass. Every 2 minutes an employee was asking if they could help me find something.

Scheels actually reminds me of what Cabela's used to be years ago. Now I drive past Cabela's to get to Scheels.

That’s because Scheels didn’t rise above the rest, they were a boringly medium to good store and all the better ones disintegrated. Followers like you will continue to follow and miss what really happened.

Have a couple of their walleye rods great rods for the money. Did not know about the lifetime warrantee

They have outstanding customer service and good prices and selection. Blow away Cabela's as bass pro

I may be wrong and you have every right to your opinion but what you are describing in this post sounds more like Dick's, Sportsman's Warehouse or Cabela's than Scheels.
Scheels has a great selection unless your in one of there older stores in BFE. They also have the cheapest prices anywhere unless your too stupid to figure it out.

Here's a pretty small sample from the last six weeks.

[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

The MEC press was marked down to $129.00 at the store in Lincoln.

The 5,500 pack of Hornady's was marked down to $449.99

The brass was retail but not out of line and the shotgun shells were the cheapest I had seen in about eight states.
Hell, that's not much more than a MEC 600jr cost 20 years ago.



HOLY CRAP BATMAN!🤤
Just googled a 600.
$240.



I'm an old bastard anymore.😧
Through the years I have bought many firearms, scopes, reloading equipment, ectra. I have always had excellent service. They have even taken care of products that they deal in that I didn't buy there. Never needed à réceipt.
I bought a Burris Oracle X scope from them two weeks ago and i had a question. The rep put me on hold, called one the experts, gave me the answer. I just ordered 6 RAVIN Lighted bolts yesterday. Good service, employee owned.
