I always enjoy Scheels in OP. They are well stocked and carry Cooper, Christensen, Sako, etc. The best part is their guns are out in the open so you can handle 'em without waiting for a clerk. It's a big store- they even have a ferris wheel inside and lots of mounts.
Cabela's, which is about 15 miles North of OP, in Kansas City, KS, is a destination for a lot of folks. If you've never been to a Cabela's you should go.
The Bushnell Outlet store in Lenexa is always kinda' cool.
May as well eat at Fiorella's Jackstack Barbecue on 95th and Metcalf. Dude, get the cheesy-corn
.
Where at by Fort Scott? I've shot some nice bucks 20 miles, or so, north of there in Mound City.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck.
