What to buy from Gander Mountain

[lordjackel]

I got a $700 gift card from GM (as a gift) and despite visiting several times and their website almost daily I just cannot figure what to get. Part of "my" issue is just how overpriced they are...even though not technically my money still sucks to over pay.

So INGO friends what you would buy if you had $700 to spend at GM? (looking for ideas)

Regifting is a possibility. Need my address?

LOL...I actually did think about selling it...but then I am sure there is something out there I want/need

 

[Spanky46151]

Check out their on sale ammo. That's the only thing I regularry find at acceptable prices there. And, sometimes they have a pretty good unadvertised in-store gun on sale.

 

[Liberty1911]

Yep, ammo. And oh a Remington 870 Express Tactical if they ever get one in stock.

odds and ends. their ammo and firearms are stupidly over priced. prices on safes are pretty decent. i picked up a Centurion a few months ago, fire rating sucks but its secure. if i did it again id get a better model.

Ammo and if you are in need, they have decent Camo sales at the end of the seasons.

Picked up couple boxes of Critical Defense for my carry...but reload all my range ammo.

Already have a 870 tactical

Keep the ideas coming through...was thinking maybe I could use it to prep with ( need to start But they don't seem to carry anything like Wise or Thrive so still looking

Shooters can NEVER go wrong with quality optics. Scope, spotting scope, binoculars, gets you a long way towards Trijicon.

WAIT for a sale or Black Friday.

Gander Mountain has insanely bad prices above retail.

I know...too bad I bought all new camo just before this season started. Grrr that hindsight 20/20 thing

every once in a while they drop the price on AE .223 from $49.00/100 rounds to $29.99. When they do, buy 2300 rounds.

Agree! Have an Eotech on one rifle and a Vortex on the other $700 isn't going to get me anything better...but good idea.

Find you a gun that you like there, but don't want to spend that much of your hard earned cash on, and put that $700 towards it. It should then be acceptable.

This was actually my first thought...the terrible part is the the Castleton store has a horrible selection so just haven't found "the gun" I really want. Might break down and get my son a Mossberg 715T .22 for Xmas (but the are $150 more than they should be)

 

[leftsock]

Sell the gift card to someone for cash? Perhaps at a slight discount to them, then go to your local gun shop for some serious shopping?

I'd buy whatever gun I could that I liked near the $700. If you think their new guns are marked to high look at the used selection. I've seen a couple used guns that were priced very fairly. If it were me with $700 I've but a new CZ 455 and as much 22 ammo as I could.

 

[singlesix]

See if they''ll break it down iinto smaller amount cards. Than you can use them as gifts and the money saved on gifts is yours

It's a bit of a drive from Castleton, but I've heard the Greenwood location has good selection. I go there every once in awhile just to get an idea of what's comfortable and they have a good selection if you can get someone to help you.
