Can't say anything bad about shooters world, only wish I was closer and I would be a member there instead but it takes forever to get there and the traffic is terrible the whole way.
I did shoot at the SS closes to me in Jan and Feb. The prices were inflated, adjusted to what they had to pay retail, but they were still far below what other local GSs and the errornet were offering, so hence I thought the prices were reasonable, considering what was going on. I haven't bought ammo from a GS in 7+ years, since I bought in bulk since joining M4C, and stocked up prior to this past election. I never even inquired about it locally. Since the last couple of weeks, their firearm prices have been GTG.

Of course I was in one of the shops just before I bought my SCAR 17s (paid a little over 2,700 for a black 17s) they had a Sig 716 listed for 2,200 and wouldnt go less than 2k for it... Not mad about that one, the employee did me a favor cause I walked away and bought the 17s instead.
I hear you. Gun shows attract way to many idiots for me, on both sides of the counter. Watching the parade of smelly, morbidly obese bubbas dressed in camo, flagging everyone in the vicinity, while listening to brain dead dealers quote stratospheric prices while lying to customers, and claiming commercial ARs are Mil-Spec, is not a good time to be had for me. I'd rather spend the afternoon at the range, at a beach bar, Hooters or Tilted Kilt. The gun stores there have one purpose, to rip off the general public, especially since Sandy Hook. I haven't been in the market for another AR since getting a DD MK-18 last Sept, and avoid gun shows like the plague, only really going there to sell a underused firearm to someone stupid enough to pay an inflated price, (If I couldn't sell it to someone I knew first) but the cuties selling the beef jerky (and the beef jerky) is worth the price of admission...
