Sportsmans does not have near the showroom that most Cabelas have. I have a Sportmans 10 minutes from my house but almost never go there. The customer service sucks and they have a rather poor selection. I went in to look at scopes and they had 12 scopes total in the case! They had lots of rifles but very few scopes to pick from. I can usually find anything I want somewhere else for less and dont have to talk to either a kid who has no idea whats going on or someone who tries to talk you into something different that costs three times as much. Maybe be its just this location but it leaves alot to be desired.
I live close to a shop called Van Wagnens which is a privately owned business yet he sold more guns last year then all of the Sportmans Warehouse combined ( acording to a local newspaper). His store sold more guns than any other dealer in the west. The owner is a little different but actuallly a nice guy if you get to know him. If he has the gun you are looking for he will be about $50-$75 bucks less than anywhere else but his stock is not real consistant. Guns dont stick around long at his place. He only sells guns,scopes,and ammo not alot of accessories just the nuts and bolts.
Rocky have you ever been to VanWagnens it was in Provo for years then moved to Orem?
I keep hearing September for the opening of Cabelas but I bet you wont be able to get in the door for at least a month or two. Im sure it will be nuts, with a line about a mile long just to get in the door.
