Gander Mountain

[inlineman]

I never had been to Gander mountain and was in Greenwood monday so I decided to stop in as I am looking for a 22 magnum rifle.I walked around amazed at all the hunting stuff they had and purchased a new coyote howler as well as some other stuff I found that I dont see most other stores around my home,then I decided to check out the rifles and looked up and down the firearms rack for about an hour and was unable to find out if they even had a 22 mag because nobody employed there would even ask if I wanted to see anything or what I was interested in looking at. So after 1 hour of trying to get someones attention I decided to find one somewhere else where someone would appreciate my business. So if someone happens to have a decent 22 mag rifle at a fair price I am interested.Thanks and thumbs down to Gander Mountain in Greenwood.

you didnt ask?

There was another customer that was standing ther and I asked him if he seen a 22 mag as I could not read the tags from that distance and we talked loud enough that the workers standing around heard that I was interested and they never came over so if they dont care enough I dont iether.Anyways I should not have to ask its obvious when I was ther that long I was interested in something.

they're the same way at the Castleton store. Some of those guys will do about anything to avoid talking to a customer.

Same here, I was at the greenwood store the other day looking at a 243 and no one would even make eye contact! I stood there for about 30m and decided to take my business elsewhere..

Yes, they're afraid of customers because customers usually know far more about guns than those doofuses. They work by the hour and don't earn commission so it doesn't benefit them in any way to help you. Seriously though, those ppl at goose hill are so ignorant you are better off not getting them to open their mouth.

I wouldn't have given them anywhere near an hour.

With all the *****ing that goes on here about Gander Mountain, you have to wonder why anyone shops there....yet here we are.

although I have never bought a gun from them, the GM in Evansville has some decent rep's working for them. Some may not know much about gun's but if there not with another customer they will ask if you need help with anything. In fact if no one is at the counter with a customer they will walk around the aisle's and ask if they can help with anything..

Try greenwood....

As a gun store they bite... but they have some big packs of candy (bunk house grab I thin k) near the register that are cool. Thats about it.

I am not a gander hater like many on here and I would never trade in a gun but I was there today because I have a good amount of gift cards built up so i was looking around the gun area.

Some guy came in with a G26 and he was looking to sell it to them during their "we buy used" or whatever event. The guy behind the counter said it was super clean and the customer said it had less than 500 rounds. They offered him $210. He didnt take it but I was like holy crap.

I then went back and kept looking at over priced guns. Sometimes they ahve deals but you have to look for them.

I live in NWI and buy most of my ammo from the gander in Hobart. Staff is very helpful and i just bought my Sig M400 from there because they had the best price. Everyone in the gun/ammo section has been very knowledgable.



second place is first loser.

I went to Radio Shack to buy a fresh hog, those guys didn't know diddly squat about bacon, pork chops, or BBQ....I will never go back.

Took me 4 tries to get past the word "hog", yes too true.

Worse is when they hound you like a dog going after your crotch.

I'd take having to raise my hand over being watched like a hawk.

Sometimes the crystal balls get cloudy and ya need to lite s fire in the counter to get someones attention. That is why I learned semaphore and smoke signals.

 

[repeter1977]

The one up here in NWI is not too bad. I usually go to other stores first, but the service is not too bad up in the Merrillville/Hobart one. I have even bought a used firearm there, as they had the best price.
Personally, I know I like people leaving me alone until I have a question. Since most people are not mind readers, I dont mind them coming over to ask. But, I really don't mind going to find them when I want something.

Gander Mountain experience

I am a little surprised that a person with the inclination to buy and use a gun doesn't have the courage to ask a clerk, excuse me..when you are done with him/her, could you please help me.
