Any body ever shop at www.scheelssports.com or at one of their stores? I've never been to one. Just wondering what they are like...

They are like a small Cabelas store. I went to one in Sioux City Iowa.

looks like the midwest version of joes to me.

I have been to one and they have an awesome gun counter.
Great store!

My favorite hunting, fishing and sporting goods store.

Have grown up with one in my home town of Sioux Falls, SD before we moved out here. Probably my favorite sporting goods store. Way more selection than Joes.

It's way bigger than a Joes. It's between Sportsman's and a Cabelas I think. They are awesome. I went to the one in Great Falls, MT.

I used to go to the store in Appleton, WI. Puts Joes to shame. Like someone said above, it is a smaller Cabela's.

never been there myself. That was just the feeling i got from the website. Sounds like a great place.

From what i have heard....the new one in Reno is better than the Cabela's there.

I've been to the Scheel's stores in both Eau Claire and Appleton, Wisconsin. They usually had better prices than Gander Mountain or Cabelas, and their selection & stock on hand was very good. They had a nice gun counter, and always had some high-end stuff to fondle.

It was a sporting goods store that my wife was just as happy to go to as I was. She would check out other parts of store and they usually had pretty good sales.

The one in Fargo is really nice. Had a promo the first year Remmington HD came out that ammounted to about 40% off, and we have been going back ever since-- right near the airport too, if you ever go ducking in Nodak..

Yep, one here in Reno. Scheels has everything sports related from foosball to golf to kayaking to frisbee golf to hunting. It's like a gigantic Joe's. I think it might be bigger than the Cabelas here too. The gun selection is great and most of the longguns are in the open for you to fondle and examine. The reloading stuff is lacking. They never seem to have any good brass, primers, or powder in stock and they only carry basic stuff.
