Re: Grice's Gun Shop
Not to rain on the parade, but Grice's Anniversary Sale is known locally as "Tirekicker Hell Weekend."
To anyone here planning on going: Picture a gun show-sized crowd in a large gun shop, with maybe 12 clerks trying to service 50-75 customers, of which 80% are tirekickers. DO NOT expect to be waited on in a timely manner; allow at least 1.5 to 2.5 hrs if you want to ask to see a gun and then decide to buy.
I did the Anniversary Sale once, about 14 years ago and concluded that with the 45-min one-way drive it was 3 hrs of my life I'd never get back.
YMMV.

If you have never experienced that event please go. You will witness the finest display of lack of teeth, hygiene, manners and over powering body oder one could ever imagine. Couple that with horrid customer service and rediculous prices and you have a bang up day.
NEVER AGAIN.And if you want to race, name the place and I'll show you where it's at mother f@#$&#!

Re: Grice's Gun Shop
My wife bought her M&P 9mm Compact from Nationals. But before She decided what she wanted we priced Several pistols. Grice beat national on all by around $30-$50. One was almost $100 cheaper. She did not like that one. We bought at Nationals because the people are much nicer to deal with and closer. This was with in the last 3 Months. Before the owner change during their going out of business sale my dad got his Judge $50 cheaper than mine But mine was an ulta-lite and it was 4 months later.

Re: Grice's Gun Shop
Hell... That's a normal day with there only being 1(you) customer in the store.
Grices, by far, has the worst customer service I've seen in any type of store.
I think I've pull a transmission from a Monte Carlo SS and got the new one bolted back up in less time that its ever taken to just get a counter guy to come over to let me see a gun that I fully intended to buy.RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515

Re: Grice's Gun Shop
The one time I was there, almost 2 years ago, it wasn't very busy and the customer service wasn't bad at all. A rather pleasant experience. Good selection and the prices didn't look too bad. I didn't find what I was looking for but nobody tried to convince me that I wanted something that I didn't want.
I know that my dad does business there and apparently hasn't had any problems, he's the type who will refuse to go back to any business if he's dissatisfied and Grice is nearly an hour drive each way for him. I know he's been doing business there since I was young and as you can see, that was a while ago.
I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction to bullshit.

Re: Grice's Gun Shop
I dealt with Grice Wholesale a couple of times back when I had my FFL. They were good to deal with, and I got a Browning Medallion Grade A-Bolt in .30-06 for $325.00 I believe. Mind you this was back in the 80's. The gun still shoots well under MOA and looks fantastic doing it. A bit like Pamela Anderson bending over to dip you an ice cream cone in short pants. Bill T.

Re: Grice's Gun Shop
Cabela's here is much the same. So much so they've put in a "Take-A-Number" system. Forget buying a gun on the weekend because you'll wait well over an hour. If you go during the week early in the morning it's not an issue.
I talked to one of the salesmen there and he told me that on the Black Friday after the election they sold 450 guns from open to close. They were lined up at the gun counter 3 to 4 deep all day long. Cabela's gun counter is at least 100 feet long. Bill T.

Re: Grice's Gun Shop
My vote is for Bob's Army Navy down the block. My wife bought a Browning HP from Grice and I bought a Springfield M1A and a Les Baer 1911 from Bob's, my shopping experience at Bob's was much more pleasant.
