Review of Mega Sports

The good news: they have by far the largest selection in the area - ammo and weapons - nobody else even comes close. The bad news: they know they have the largest selection - and apparently feel that fact justifies their collective attitude. This place is the height of gun-snobbery. There are *maybe* 2 people on staff there that don't act like every customer is a nuisance. The rest, though, act like they'd rather get their teeth drilled than actually help you or answer a question. They jump right down your throat if you do anything they even minutely don't like. I guess I'm used to salespeople actually (gasp!) trying to SELL me something - not acting like I'm interrupting their break time. In the state I'm from, salespeople at firearms stores trip all over each other to help customers. At Mega Sports, on the other hand, you *will* have to hunt someone down. In short - if you know precisely what you want and have ZERO questions about it - and, oh, by the way, don't mind paying obscene prices - hey - Mega Sports is a good choice. If, on the other hand, you have a few questions and don't want to pay a premium for their oh-so-pathetic service - go elsewhere. Or - do what I did: buy online and do the transfer through Breech & Barrel on 59 ($25 ffl transfer). I don't go to MS unless I absolutely can't find ammo somewhere else. What you've read on these reviews is absolutely true.

UPDATE 6/18/14
I've been to MS twice now looking for 22LR (as previously stated, I ONLY go there if I can't find the ammo elsewhere). They do have some - the 325rd boxes thunderbolt - for ***32.99***. Call me crazy but I would have thought that a gun shop would be interested in NOT feeding the hysteria. I would think they would be interested in making the sport as accessible to the masses as possible - and NOT gouging the snot out people. The ammo manufacturers have stated that prices have not changed markedly - nor has supply. WM, when they have it, still has the value boxes in the neighborhood of 5cents per round (22.99 for a 525rd box). Good old megasports - gouging at its finest. I'm done with this store. It's just flat not worth the aggravation.
