So I went into our local Field & Stream this afternoon for two reasons one I wanted to see for myself if it was true that they no longer sell AR15s or AR15 related stuff and the other was to buy some Hornady 6.5 CM Match ammo if they had it. For me I was willing to look past them not selling ARs or AR stuff at Dicks because ok its primarily a athletic sporting goods store with a half ass hunting department and as long as the Field & Stream side of them keep selling ARs and AR related stuff I was ok with it. Well they saved me over $300 today because I was going to buy all 10 boxes they had, but when I realized they pulled all ARs and everything else related to ARs off the shelves I just couldn't do it. The manger who has seen me in there plenty of times in the past buying ammo asked me what was wrong when he saw me putting the ammo back.....I politely told him how I felt about there decision to cave to political correctness and not 100% support the 2nd amendment and that I would not be spending another dime in there store unless they reversed there decision. He apologized and said I agree with you and if it were up to him they would be selling more ARs not less, but that decision was way up the corporate ladder. I said I realize that, but to please pass along my message.
Like water walker said, we have them, but you are not missing anything. That said, if they liquidate a hundred stores or so I won't have any issues picking over the carcasses. There were some sweet deals to be had during the last few days of the Gander Mountain store closings...
Dick' stopped selling ARs after Sandyhook in all of their Dicks branded stores. But, they still sold them at their Field and Stream locations. Dick's recent announcement was specific to the Field and Stream stores...

Damn. I am out of the loop. I didn't even know they closed down. I only went to the GM on I-45 in Houston once, to hit their virtual range with some co-workers. Sucks I missed their closeout sale, they had a pretty big selection of all kinds of stuff.
30% off a Sig 320 compact was not a screaming deal, but enough to get me to jump. But, the manager said "make me an offer" on the 15 round mag sitting in the gun case... They had a vortex viper FFP scope (I forget the range) at 50% off- I should have bought it but I was already sitting on more scopes than rifles at the time. We picked up some underarmour clothes at 70 and 80% off. A bunch of fish lures for the kids, at ~$1 a piece. They were selling everything- racks, shelves, pegboards, glass cases, if it was not structural to the building it was fair game... I really wish I had hit more than just the store off 59.
Haha! When the San Antonio store closed I picked up about $1,250 worth of merchandise for like $250. By the time I got there most of the really good stuff was gone.
