So I asked a guy at another counter, and he said he couldn't predict stock, but looked up a similar model with slightly different features and said they had it in stock. I probably should have left, but I decided to find someone else (preferably someone younger and less Fudd-looking) to ask about when they expect more stock in. Why hand me a gun you know is out of stock? Why not suggest something else? I'm not in sales, I'm a socially-awkward nerd, but I could do this guy's job better than he was. ![]() He turns back to me (had resumed an apparently very interesting conversation with a coworker about a musket), and said "Out of stock", accepted the gun back from me, and turned back to his coworker, resuming his conversation. Upon returning, I found the same sales guy I had talked to before, asked to see the shotgun again, and then said I wanted to buy. So I went there, saw the gun I liked, noticed they have a BS "list price includes 3% cash or check discount" (why not just call the credit card price a fee?), I went home to get my checkbook and returned. But since they were the only place nearby with the model that interested me on the shelf, and their price was no worse than I'd been seeing online, and because I'm impatient, I decided to buy. I have previously shopped there for accessories, but because their prices are pretty steep (about 20-30% higher than what gunnit would consider good), I hadn't bought any guns. They also have a large stock of accessories, magpul (and similar, like ATI) stuff, holsters, safes, cases, 511 tactical clothing, knives, and hunting gear. The inventory is pretty stunning, and they stock a lot of stuff you don't see at other stores (only place I've seen high-end over-and-under shotguns lately, for instance). When I say gigantic, I mean it they advertise having 10,000 guns in stock, and it seems almost believable once you see the inside of the store. Thought I would share my experiences, and ask if any of you have experienced anything similar to a few weird things that happened. The week before last I bought a new shotgun at the gigantic gun store near where I live. Tl dr: OP rambles on about his experience at a gun store, summarizes post at the end.
