Herb Philipsons sorting goods store

[Bustedknees]

for those in central NY, word has it they have closed their Oneida store.. I'll take a run and confirm tomorrow morning.. But I doubt the other stores will be far behind.. Just a heads up for those who have store credit or gift cards ( me ), ya better spend them now while you still can..

" sporting goods "

 

[Bustedknees]

update, Oneida did close. Herkimer also. I had a $100 gift certificate to burn so I traveled to the Rome store. They are having a 30% off sale on you guessed it , everything but guns and ammo, no kayaks or canoes either.. Keep your eyes open because it's only a matter of time before they have to sell their guns n ammo.

I stopped by the store on Erie Blvd in Dewitt a few weeks ago only to find it closed.

The Newark location has been closed for a long time.

Yep, they've been struggling for a while now. It seems like the new owner has never been able to get it to take off the way he hoped.
Seems like he bought a sinking ship and just couldn't fix it.

Oswego closed last fall. Once the new owners took over, inventory was crap.

I always preferred the surplus stuff that they used to have the first few year that they opened. Once they started branching out they started stocking more brand name stuff and then turned into a full blown mini Dicks. That’s pretty much when I stopped spending my money in their stores.

Watertown store closed last week also. I’ve got some good friends there that are now unemployed. And yes, the new owner has made a lot of terrible business decisions.

So that leaves Rome , Herkimer, and New Hartford .. I smell a gun sale coming up.

 

[ricklovin93]

Prices were never very good. Best thing is all the surplus they sell. I dont even know if there is another surplus store around unfortunately.

 

[Bustedknees]

20 % off firearms now. Rome and New Hartford still open.

 

[Bustedknees]

Savage stainless scout in .308 for $600.
I'm gonna be greedy and wait for 30 % off.

 

[Jaywmustang]

I would drive to Rome if it was 30% off. How is their selection?

 

[Jaywmustang]

Looks like their online presence is gone. No website that I could fine and there isn’t much on fb.

 

[MuttCat]

Too bad. I shopped at the store in Herkimer a couple of times. I was never impressed, but always good to have choices. I do remember the staff was very pleasant.

 

[Bustedknees]

I would drive to Rome if it was 30% off. How is their selection?

rome has more guns than New Hartford, racks are full now, plenty of bolt action deer rifles, all kinds of shotguns too. but lots of window shoppers for a weekday,.. I wanted to stock up on scope rings and accessories but they are well picked through.. most hunting gear is gone, only a few stationary tree stands left.

 

[Jaywmustang]

Maybe I’ll go check them out....better prices than the gun show

 

[Bustedknees]

40 % off ammo.

 

[Jaywmustang]

Any deals on firearms?

Still at 20 % off, selection is getting thin in Rome.

 

[E the massive]

Going back tomorrow for some of that CCI. Not much of anything left. I will double check on the eye pro.

 

[RomanRider]

50% off ammo when I went to the Rome store today. Guns I think said 20% off, not sure. No 9mm ammo that I saw, I picked up some 380 speer gold dot for under $18 which compared to online is a good deal. I may go get more. They have a fair amount of 22 ammo too, short and LR but I think their regular pricing was a little high so with 50% off I think it's good but not a huge discount compared to online.

 

[AnthonyC]

Thanks for the tip!

 

[RomanRider]

Some if not all of the guns are 25% off. I'm thinking of picking up a Savage A22 (regular model) which is now $187 & change. They have some larger rifles and some shotguns left too at the Rome store. Edit - adding in that I asked if they have a set closing date and the cashier said no, it's week to week now. Lots of stuff sold from late last week to today.

 

[Jaywmustang]

Wish they were closer so I could just swing by

 

[Bustedknees]

worked near the Herkimer store so I made a pit stop.. no guns no ammo..
couldnt leave empty handed so I grabbed 3 Buttler Creek scope covers that I don't currently need and a long fiber optic ( stick on ) front site for shotguns..

So, Anyone know if Herbs is completely closed now?
I have been hearing ads on he radio for a new place opening in Syracuse called All Seasons Outfitters and it is located in the same plaza on Erie Blvd that had a Herbs store. They had a soft opening on Tuesday and plan a grand opening on Saturday, so I stopped by there on Wednesday to see what they have. They must have bought out all the displays and racks from Herbs because it all looks like the same stuff, They only had about a dozen long guns in the display for now and they had a lot of empty shelves that they appeared to be stocking for the grand opening. Hopefully it works out for them and they fill the void left by Herbs going out. I have almost no where left to purchase sporting goods items since I have stopped shopping at Dicks, Walmart, and Gander Outdoors, Bass Pro is a long drive for me to go pick up a coat or new hunting pants. I would shop online but I have a problem with getting the proper size and hate to have to send things back and wait even longer. Anyone else know anything about this place?
