Had a little time to kill today and close by local Gander Mountain(yeah, I know), decided to stop in just for kicks. Well, I took a gander but the prices were way too high on the mountain. Only a few customers in this great big store and hardly anyone buying. No wonder. Lots of SP/LP primers; at $4.99/100! WWB 45ACP $29.99! And get this; S&W 642 $799.00! Those people obviously live in their own little make believe world. They ought to partner up with Cheaper Than Dirt, now wouldn't that be a fine pair. Sure am glad I stocked up couple years back.

I was by a local Gander Mountain two weeks ago and had much the same experience. Big empty store with reloading stuff scattered on a card table and a guy behind the counter who acted like questions were a personal affront to his dignity. When I asked if a model 25 could be made to accept .45 ACP his reply was, "if you want a gun that fires those you'll have to buy a 1911, this is a .45 long colt a totally different thing."

I spend a lot of time in Gander Mtn.... I do NOT spend much money there though. I have found good deals on used rifles however. I won't touch their ammo.

I have been known to spend some time there also. I have found a few good buys on used guns. Around Christmas time I got a 4" stainless Ruger GP100 for $ 275. There was nothing wrong with it and it was hardly shot. I never buy ammo from them.

Cool place to look around but prices on most items are not cool, very high priced new guns and ammo.
Cast Iron Sale
They do have a sale on Lodge Cast Iron thru the 25th, however.

I am glad that you people are sensible. Have a couple of places here in Columbia, MO that are that way. Have been in them and shopped briefly and then walked out. Will never go back. I hate China Mart, Menards, Lowes, etc. Where do I shop? Midway, Grafs, Missouri Bullet Works, Sierra (seconds store in Sedaila, MO). I reload and don't buy much factory ammo unless it is reasonable. I do remember who is gouging. Bass Pro here is the most reasonable for new guns. If everyone remembers down the road the "gouging" it will make a differance.
