I stopped in Gander Mountain after seeing the movie Serenity, just to look around. I was blown away, Maryland just doesn't have stores like this! Their used gun selection was great, at least in the area of rifles, and their knife selection was a lot better than most department sporting goods stores I've been in. After spending a long time in the Airgun department, I moseyed on over to the gun rack, and spent a lot of time perusing the bolt action and lever action used rifles. I actually got to speak to a sales associate who knew something about guns. Usually, in the big department stores, I know more about the guns I'm looking at than the sales staff, and I'm no expert AT ANYTHING!. The guy helped me out with a special order for a Marlin bolt action 22, and I walked off to peruse the rest of the store. I saw a pair of Nike waterproof hiking boots that I wanted to get, but they didn't have size 13. Now I've got a pair coming in and will pick them up on Friday. I asked in the fishing department about a Benchmade 100H20 fixed blade, and was told that they didn't have them, but that I should check back over in Hunting. I had already seen the stores selection, at least they carried Benchmade Red Class knives, but I thought I'd check again. Looking at the knives under glass, I saw a Benchmade Outbounder, and it was priced at 60 bucks! No box, so I got it at 10% off. This store really took care of me, and the staff was very knowledgeable. I'll be shopping there again!
