Interesting thread and comments. My .02 from somebody who HAS to receive stuff via mail:
I used to get a bunch of stuff from Midway -- but they absolutely stopped shipping to APO/FPO addresses. I e-mailed them, told them they're losing a bunch of business to Cabela's, Natchez, etc -- didn't matter, they don't intend to ship to APOs anymore, their loss.
Natchez is cool, never had a problem, good customer service, and they have some items I can't get anywhere else. Same with Sinclair, Midsouth, etc.
I've very seldom used Bass Pro, in fact I can't remember when. Maybe have to recheck them out one of these days.
And now the big boy, Cabela's. I'll tell you, they're right there in the ballpark if not lower on prices. In fact, I just the other day ran a comparison for a Leupold Scope -- same exact price from swfa, bear basin, and Cabela's. The only way I can beat one over the other is when one has what I want on sale.
Wolvie -- I used to get stuff from Gander also -- but you can't order on line, have to visit a store.
I'll keep my eye on Huntn Biz too.
I also use the German big boys Frankonia and Kettner -- I get stuff that costs more, but impossible to get from stateside outfitters.
Good to see I'm not the only one supporting a hunting/shooting shop!! Good luck shopping, Waidmannsheil, Dom.
