My opinion: In store is a must do, its awesome. ABSOLUTE FAILURE with online order. The online ordering hits a wall for me. Amazon, Optix, and Midway kick their A** so hard in this category, that the order i describe below is my last through them unless i am in a pinch for the specific item i am after (easier for me to make the 2 hour drive). There is a mom an pop outfit i order reload supplies from in Ohio where the items arrive 2 days after order is placed. Same with Midway (Missouri) and Optics (Illinois).

The in store location is awesome. Pick something out of their huge inventory selection and they bring it up for you to review and decide if you want. The items in their store front DO NOT show up on the online inventory. These items are isolated in their system for store front only so it is best to stop in or call.

Experience with online ordering: I assumed with their fast service at the store front that i would have a similar experience with online shopping. I had two orders back to back, ordered on Tuesday. Second order arrived Saturday. first order was held on suspicion which I did not get called (OR a courtesy email) until the following Monday, at which the item arrived the Wednesday thereafter. The mailing time from Grinnell, Iowa to Manchester, Iowa is overnight, every time.
