RE: Gander Mountain: are they sniffing glue?
Funny, I was there last week and noticed the exact same thing...CoreLokts are running about 20 bucks for the more popular calibers and still $15.24 at the local WalMart (for .243)...I've bought 6 boxes for Christmas...

I still like much of the Gander Guide Series clothing, and when it goes on sale, there are good deals to be had.

I agree, the Gander Mtn out by me is the same way, very high prices versus Cabelas. I was shocked myself when I checked prices on 7mm Rem Mag ammo back before deer season. Prices approached $50 a box. One would think you were getting ready to go to Africa with those ammo prices. Fortunately I reload so its not an issue. Not to say I havent scored some good deals at Gander but that is the exception more than ever, not the norm.

Gander Mountain must be like Wal-Mart. they price their merchandise according to the local economy. We just got a new Cabela's in Wheeling, WV. We have a Gander Mountain in Washington, PA.
I have found just the opposite here. Gander is cheaper across the board versus Cabela's. I have found our Cabela's(Wheeling, WV) prices to be totally out of whack. And the worst part about the Wheeling Cabela's is thatwhenever I went there to get something they did not even have what I wanted. It just goes to show that you have to shop. Tom.

I was just in a Cabella's and an GM on the same day... At Cabella's you pull a number and wait in line to see a gun. Then if your taking too long they'd like you to move on or buy something... At GM you walk over and handle the rifle you want and are able to see what cal ect.. it is...
When it came to Nosler bullets, neither was stocked worth a darn, and the ones i was interested in were the same price..
I think both stores are over priced!!
