Gander Mountain...time to buy long guns?!?

[Jaywmustang]

Hey guys and gals. I talked to my buddy behind the counter at the Cicero Gander and he told me that the discount will not go any higher than 40% on rifles so the time to buy is now. I picked up this tikka t3x for $480ish out the door

 

[Bananabandit]

Does the discount include dirty finger nails?

 

[Jaywmustang]

I figured someone would notice lol. I went up right after work or maybe I need to invest in thick tp.

 

[Bananabandit]

Im interested in knowing how good those guns are. Dont hear much about em

 

[Jaywmustang]

I have a tikka t3x ctr in 308. I am very happy with it. The action is very smooth and I was happy with the accuracy. I do have limited trigger time on my ctr cause I have been busy with work and it always seems to be raining this year when I have free time. I was so happy with it, I had no problem pulling the trigger on this one. I did do a little write up on the ctr last summer.

I have a Tikka T3 in 8mm Mauser, it is a great rifle

 

[Jaywmustang]

The are deals to be had on tikka t3 rifles online. Not gander going out of business deals but still deals.

Oh wow, so you actually saved a bit of money...first time anyone has said that about Gander.

Lol I know! I used to tell people gander had everything but expect to pay msrp. The cheapest I found my recent purchase for online was $748.....I did not look very hard so it may be cheaper. Gander in Cicero does not have any tikka left. Those t3 are still a good deal.

I heard Cabelas bought out the gander up in Cicero

I think the nearest cabelas from me is like 2-3hrs away. Never been to one

Cabela's is merging with Bass Pro , so is the Cicero Gander going to be a Bass Pro and n0t a Camping World?

 

[C3D]

Cabelas is not doing well and the merger with Bass Pro is in doubt.

Positive?

 

[Target]

my Co-worker got a flier in his Cabela's credit card about the merger.
I will have to ask him about it again.

i picked up a ruger 77/44 for $500 when the discount hit..

i still think they will discount further.. the liquidators dont want to have to pay to ship shit out

 

[Jaywmustang]

I was told by my buddy and a couple other employees that gander is becoming gander outdoors. Camping world is trying to keep gander customers. Idk about the discount, Cicero gander already shipped out all their pistol except for rough rider 22 pistols.

 

[Jaywmustang]

The bass pro/ cabelas merger has nothing to do with camping world acquisition of gander mountain as far as I know.

 

[holdover]

Glad to hear they're closing stores , I hope I helped to contribute for not buying a god dammed thing there since they pulled their guns before the safe act was even law. Maybe the owners will take any money left and buy a Jo Ann fabrics , or a bed bath and beyond .

To save anyone the trip seeing this thread, I stopped by Gander earlier today, and they are basically out of any and all firearms, ammunition, and accessories... There is a lot of 270 Remington though, so if you want that it might be worth the trip...

Not a single firearm for sale though, only the barrel scrapings of the non regulated stuff.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

Fuck them....again

I have been holding out on this versamax. It was originally $899. The sale was 30% off.

Yesterday i stopped in cause they were at 50% off. The raised the msrp to $1249! Wtf?

I picked up to Remington 700 SPS varmints for $350 each

Savage model 11 for $215
Savage model 25 for $245

I figure they are at least decent trade fodder if I don't want to keep them

I freaking missed out. I'm pissed. I wanted to get a double barreled shotgun for walking through brush for rabbits and grouse. They had one for like $400.00. I went in yesterday and they had 4 riffles left. That's it. I was mad, but I waited so it's my fault. Oh well.

 

[Jaywmustang]

I thought the guns would be gone by now. I am thinking about going to the Cicero store tomorrow. The Watertown store was wiped out.

Same. I wandered into Johnson City and they were wheeling out the displays. Waited too long...

Gander Mountain's Bankruptcy Has A Major Silver Lining - Bearing Arms - Gander Mountain, gun sales

 

[shootemup]

Stopped at Kingston Gander Mtn. yesterday. Last day they are open. Nothing much left besides a few clothes and some fishing stuff...........probably 4-5 wheelbarrows would carry everything.

Positive?

2 months ago. If you had CAB stock you lost your shirt. It's down 10% since the merger was approved by the SEC. I suspect the stock will continue to under-perform. Barclay, SunTrust, and Feltl downgraded it, and USAA dowengraded from neutral to sell. If you have any, get out before you lose it all.

Bass Pro, Cabela's merger approved by FTC

The bass pro/ cabelas merger has nothing to do with camping world acquisition of gander mountain as far as I know.

Camping World (NYSE: CWH) is it's own company and doing quite well. Stock is up like 40% since May. It's at a peak though so I don't recommend buying any.
