This is the reality for the future. That's why Amazon has taken over as the worlds largest retailer after only being in business a few yearsIt cost a fortune to maintain, rent, and supply a store in prime suburban market areas. I'm not sure any large Hunting Fishing story could survive on normal retail margins with the net and well run local stores to compete with.

I hope this is not a sign that our numbers, shooting sportsmen, are dropping so much that the industry isn't supported any longer. All us old white guys dieing off and not being replaced.
I have debated antis who believe that they would eventually win by attrition.
I agree there prices are through the roof. Guns are cheaper almost anywhere else by huge percentages .I'm not surprised. They are expensive on everything. With Cabela's, they usually have cheap primers so I go there for that, and may come out with more stuff.
Gander Mountain is expensive on powder, primers, ammo, guns, clothes, fishing...no reason to go there at all. Their sale prices are higher than PSA's regular prices.
I agree . I think alot of big chain overpriced stores rely on all the Suckers out there that are ignorant of pricing. Sometimes the only reason you may buy a gun from them is only because you cant find it in stock at a cheaper store.Well our Gander here is stuffed full of guns. Whole back wall of 'em! All overpriced. Ammo over priced. Reloading components over priced.
Sooner or later Gander will either have to have a better selling model or it will go kaput.

You'd think a company that gained their initial success from mail order back in the digital "dark ages" could readily adapt the same mentality into a successful cyber venture.
I told him, "I saw some at Wal-Mart recently", they did, made in Belgium to!
He looked at me and said, "But are they any good?"
Yes same gun made by same company but just priced higher at the fancy stores but the Dr. just could not believe one could get the same thing cheaper at a big discount store.
Please don't call them GM, the taxpayers might get stuck throwing a 45 billion dollar bailout to them.I just saw an article that had a statement from GM saying the rumors of bankruptcy and store closings are false
