Looks like Basspro gobbled up another one:

So more clothing and lures... less guns and such.... Start watching for them to close any wherever it is in close proximity to BassPro or Cabela's. Did not take terribly long for it to happen here.

They were the last place I bought crates of 7.62x54r from.  They got a container or two from some of the last shipments coming out of Ukraine a few years back ...

 

Edit: now that I think about it, it seems those crates may have come from Sportsman Guide.  Is there any connection between those two retailers?

They have been struggling for years. But I’m sure it’s even harder now for everyone. They just opened a new store here last year. I hope this doesn’t have a negative impact; it’s a nice, well stocked store.

I've made several purchases at the store here in the boro. Hope it remains as good as it has been so far. Got a sweet deal on a Ruger carbine on a one day sale. Ordered it online and picked it up at the store. No shipping or FFL fees.

I wonder if the store in Chattanooga will close like the Cabela’s did?
