Sometimes I just have to see and handle the rifle or shotgun in person, and I can't always find one to rent or borrow, so I have to go to a place like Bass Pro. One problem with Bas Pro is they will push what they need to sell; not what fits you best. I think if you go in realizing that it's ok. Make a plan of what you want and stick to it. The sales staff are also under pressure to not spend too much time with a customer (one of them actually told me that). I just keep pressing until I am ready; if that's a problem I walk.
One nice thing about Bass Pro is you never know when you will see a nice rifle or shotgun with a red tag reduced price, which is unadvertised. So I will go there and window shop from time to time.
One the other hand; One thing that really pisses me off are the 10% off of your purchase offers with fine print that states "no firearms". And don't count on the sales staff to point that fine print out to you, even if they know it. They do not want to jeopardize a sale.
