Anyone ever bought anything from them?
Good or bad?
Was looking at some hangers to hang an antique rifle on the wall.
Seems a good price but am leary of something I can't touch before buying, afraid of getting junk I guess!

I have done well by them.
I feel they represent the products correctly.
I like them.

Generally pretty good stuff at often very good prices. I have bought a lot of milsurp
clothes from them for hunting or work. Military snowshoes are really good ones, too.

I stay away from their ammo because they insist on a signature no matter what I say,
and that is really inconvenient for me, plus their ammo prices are not particularly good
anyway.

I have ordered stuff from them. Still get the catalogue. I found it to be good stuff at a fair price.

Some good stuff at a fair price. Haven't had a single problem with an order. Joe

Odds and ends, stuff like that. No big ticket items. I did get a velcro door liner for my safe that holds
'velcro holsters'. I was pleasantly surprised that they do hold even the heaviest of my handguns. Freed up a lot of space.

I've bought a lot of stuff from them. No problems at all. Good people to deal with.

I've bought from them. Best prices on Magtech Brass shotgun shells. They have been around a long time 20 or 25 years at least.

They have Pentax 3X15X50mm scopes for $89! (I got two!). Great company, I've been buying from them for at least thirty years. They used to sell pen holders made from dried cow pies coated in plastic.

Several years ago I bought a Ruger Old Army from them. Good price even for the time. Later I bought a case of Rem .22 target ammo. Price was good but packing was terrible. UPS apologized but that was all they could do. I may have lost a couple of boxes but aside from a complaint, it ended there.

Years ago I purchased a 10 X 10 tent that arrived missing 2 tie down tabs on the bottom. send it back they said. Problem was freight would have been 1/3 of original cost. Strike one.

My son wanted mil surp pants.. Every time they sent a notice of a new shipment I would re order. Sorry out of stock would be the answer. Strike 2

Ordered mdse and tried to use the members discount and found it did not work on many of the items I was looking at. Cancel the order and cancel the club membership (still had 6 mo left) They cancelled the order and kept the remainder of the club membership money. Strike 3

Have not looked there since.

I have bought lots of stuff from sportsmans guide. Never have I had a problem with them but then I wasn't expecting much either. Great place usually to buy surplus ammo and things like that I would not buy quality optics from them

I've ordered from them in the past. Good quality stuff that I still have after many years of use and storage.

When they had the 308 machine gun barrels on sale all I got was an empty box. Called them up and another one on the way. Again an empty box. Apparently they just stuck it in a box with no packing materials and on its way. Called again, spoke at length telling them to cover the muzzle and threaded ends with cardboard and tape and put some kind of packing materials in the box so it won't poke holes in the box. Well third one showed up with one end sticking out of the box.
No packing materials. Guess I got lucky on try #3. I'd buy from again and have with no other problems. Frank

My only complaint was them not leaving you alone with endless catalogs showing up every 3 weeks and a few sales calls also.

The catalogs do pile up, I've been considering looking into whether you can have the paper ones shut off.

I've ordered a lot of stuff from them over the past 20 years or so and have had very good customer service from them. The couple of times I've had to return something or an order was wrong (not often) they were always very good about the whole thing, fast and smooth. I'll continue doing busines with them

No problems. One return(a BB gun, broken stock, bad packing) was replaced promptly.
