Wally World may have the best prices on guns but don't ask the kid behind the counter a question. If I want expert advice I go to the local gun shop and pay a few bucks more for the service.
Man isn't that the truth, I would even go and add a few other stores in like Sportsmans Warehouse. Sportsman does caryy everything for a hunter and fisherman, but some of the employies don't seem to know their product very well. I have asked about certian reloading items only to be told that they don't exist or they don't carry them. Only to find them myself and say well what do you call this then. Also one time I was buying 10 Gauge shotgun shells and was just compareing prices between the brands. A employe came up to me and annonced that he worked in the gun dept. and that if I needed help with anything just go ahead and ask. I ask if they still had on shells on sell? He said he didn't know but would find out. He asked me what I was looking for, I told him and he was like cool my buddy shoots a 10 Gauge too. I then told him that I love my Browning Gold 10. He looked at me strait face and asked now is that the Browning Pump or the single shot? I can't remember? I thought he was just joking and said oh it's just the single. I then just for fun because I thought he was joking said how much do they sell for now? He said follow me we will have a look. He then went and started to look at the single shot shotguns. He couldn't find it and called on the phone and asked the gun manager to come and try to help him find a Browning Gold 10 gauge. At that point I knew he wasn't joking and realy didn't know what he was looking for. I told him it's over there, and pointed, he was like its an auto? I then asked him you don't know what a Browning Gold is but you work in the gun department? He responded well I wasn't sure what it was, but I have heard of it and I have only worked here a month and we have many guns. Its too many to keep track of all of them. I was totaly shocked and was thinking how in the world do you sell guns but don't know the product. I still buy stuff at sportsman but I know what I want and find it myself without any help. My brothers and I call it the "I don't know sporting good store" ask them a question and all they can say is "I don't know".

They have good prices but I guess they can't afford good help.
