I used to work at a WI Gander Mountain store, while I was in college. I worked for them in the early '90's, when they still had a catalog division and before the retail stores were bought out by Holiday. Back then, the Gander Stores were the best in town. They had good selections, were well stocked, and had competitive prices.

I visited a few Gander Stores in WI and MN, when I was in the area over Christmas & New Year's this year. I was very disappointed. Their reloading departments were sparce, and what they did have was WAY overpriced. I can get the components cheaper in Alaska, and that's saying something!

I still like much of the Gander Guide Series clothing, and when it goes on sale, there are good deals to be had. Unfortunately, their reloading department is a sad joke of what it used to be.
