Is sportsmansguide.com reputable?

[henktermaat]

has anyone ever purchased from Discount Hunting Gear, Discount Hunting Boots, Discount Shoes, Discount Ammunition, Discount Ammo, Discount Boots, Military Surplus, Outdoor Gear At the Sportsman's Guide ? The site looks sort of fly-by-night and not very professional...

I hate them.

Some folks love them.

It's sort of like Big Lots, sometimes they have good stuff, sometimes it's crap.

I hate them because they sold my information and I started getting about ten times more spam and junk snail mail. All from them selling my info (I use a middle initial that is different with each company to trace who is selling my info).

I will never buy from them again.

I've purchased a lot of quality stuff from there for a good price and I've never had any issues...I haven't used them in over a year, but when I did I was satisfied with their products/service.

I order things occasionally when I see a good deal. Like the 58 pounds of various sizes of cotton web strap material for $40 that I got a few years ago. I think I have over 2000 yards of it, and most of it is 1" and 3/4" which are the most useful sizes.

I also ordered several swedish mess kits with alcohol stoves for $14 a few years ago.

Oh yeah, and can't forget about the AK mags for just over $5 each about 5 years ago. Picked up quite a few of them, and I received a few rare ones that I resold to collectors and recouped almost half of my cost on the mags putting them in at less than $3 each!

Yeah, they're reputable (been around quite a while) and I've never had a problem with them.

I've never had a problem similar to shibumiseeker, but it is very possible.

If you find a really good deal, I would say get it.

Been using them for several years buying anywhere from clothing to ammo from them. Never had a problem and shipping has always (to me at least) been very fast.

In fact, I was just browsing their site a few minutes ago.

I think thats the one I got my Galco holster from, took less than a week to get here, and best price I found anywhere, so I got no complaints.

 

[GregD]

I have only ordered a few things from them. Have always been happy with the product and the shipping time is reasonable. I also had some problem with them selling my info.

Same here. They sold my info also.

They sometimes have decent items for sale. But they also have a lot of junk on there.

 

[melensdad]

there are 2 gun companies I refuse to deal with. Sportsman's Guide and Cheaper Than Dirt. To my ethical standards both companies fall well short.

 

[sjstill]

Have bought a boatload of ammo from them over the years. Buyers club is a good deal for just about everything. Never had a problem with them.

 

[MoparMan]

I've used them many times. Never had any issues or problems from them. The Buyers Club is a great option as well.

 

[Phil502]

I bought a 1000 rounds of 9mm there, it was fine.
They also kept 1000 rounds of ammo on backorder for like 9 months on me and I finally gave it up last week.

 

[BobDaniels]

I used to be a happy Sportsmans Guide consumer. I had the same junk mail problem as stated above, but to me, that wasn't a major issue as most of the junk I received were catalogs to their competitors!

My real issue with them is outlined in the Good, Bad and Ugly under Online Retailers.

YMMV

I have also bought a LOT of stuff from Sportsmansguide. Never had any problem. I get so much junk mail anyway, I have to buy a shredder once a year because I burn it up.

Prices are good on most, and the buyers club makes it better if you are a regular buyer of ammo when they have it.

cheaperthandirt went to the toilet after Obamamania. I won't even look at their site anymore.

I like OpticsPlanet.com - Binoculars, Sunglasses, Night Vision Goggles, Riflescopes, Flashlights, Telescopes, Rangefinders, Microscopes - Hunting, Outdoor, Science, & Military Gear. They carry a cool selection of gadgetry.

 

[sjstill]

Forgot to mention they had 5000 rounds of .22 on backorder for almost 9 months, but they still honored the original price and didn't charge my card until it shipped.

Yes, that p*sses me off to no end.

To help out on the junk emails, sign up for a junk email account at yahoo or the likes and only give out your real email to people you want to hear back from.

Good idea on the middle initial change though, I've never thought about doing that before, so I never know when someone sells my info.

 

[L-W-R-C]

i have gotten arrows from them before and it is a good store

 

[hotfarmboy1]

I have used them alot in the past. Haven't as much lately cause short on the extra money. Have been a buyers club member for the past 2 years though. And its paid for itself in savings a couple times over.

 

[Uralguy]

I spend way too much there. I have always been happy. I am fairly picky about what I buy in the first place. If you move real fast, you can get the bargains. If you hesitate they are gone.
