Bass Pro fully stocked with optics now!!

Baldheaded · Feb 22, 2021

I stopped into the BPS at Arundel Mills on Saturday just to look around some and to my surprise they still had a large supply of ammo from the mornings delivery. Mostly 5.56 in 55gr and 62gr.

I also walked over to the gun counter to see what was new. They were completely stocked with scopes/optics. I was shocked at the selection. For so many months now the optics selection was minimal. Now they have everything. If you looking for a new scope/optic I would go there now. Lots of great choices there.

I went there at 1:30pm.

I was at Bass Pro on Saturday, also. Right around 2:00 p.m.
Went there after leaving Mountain Road. My wife went to see a friend at a jewelry store.

Didn't see 'spit' for ammo, except for some Federal 20 ga #3 Buck (65 boxes on the shelf.)
I did see 3 boxes of .308 for $59.99/box.

I needed some, so, I picked up 10 boxes of 5.
Also picked up some .454" round ball and some Pyrodex fffg powder.

Got to the check-out, and they would only let me buy 5 boxes of the #3 buck and NO round balls.

"There were NO SIGNS of quantities allowed, anywhere."

"You might take them into the parking lot and sell them."

"Hahahahahahaaaaaaa. Lady, I drove 65 miles to buy this stuff. I'm not sellin' anything."

My wife bought 5 boxes of #3 Buck. Left the round ball sitting on the counter.

Think I’d hit up Gander in Fredericksburg before making a run to BPS. Understand if in the area though.

Sorry to hear you missed out. there seemed to be a fair amount when I got there. I guess it only takes about 1/2 hour for people to grab it all up.

Might stop there, too.

I have the day to myself. ANYTHING is possible!!!!!!

My wife, oldest son, his wife and the grandson are going to "Lego Land" in PA.
My daughter-in-law's Mom is going too. Not enough room for a gray-haired, old GrandPa in the Explorer.

Green Top
Bass Pro
Gander Mountain

Might have to stop at "Dickie's BBQ" across the river, too! :thumbsup:

I can tell you Green Top is cleaned out of everything except shotguns! They have nothing. My wife's father lives 5min from there and he checks in regularly. I was there the other day and all they had reloading wise was a ton of 150gr 308 and 6mm a-tips. No primers and 2 8lb jugs of tightwad.

Must have missed it. The shelves where they used to keep ammo, had doggie beds stacked up.
The shelf where the 20 ga. #3B and .308 ammo was, had nothing else on it.
Even my wife commented that she'd never seen BP that way.

Oh well. Just killin' time, mostly. Thanks for the heads up!

I just missed everyone- I was posting about the ammo at 11:42am in line it seems.

mranaya · Feb 22, 2021

I met an MDSer to trade ammo in the BP parking lot today, around 215. A guy walked by grinning and asked if we were selling ammo. I'm guessing he thought one of us was selling something the other just scored. That must be a common thing now.

Sorry you missed out. As others said, it is hit or miss. One day they have hundreds of boxes of 5.56 and 9mm, the next day it is gone.

The signs are all over, even right on the shelf where you picked up the shells (see pic). I don't know how you missed them. Signs at both entrances, a sign in the aisle, and 2 signs where the ammo usually is.

I read your post minutes before going in so I expected they might be gone, but nope... still there where they've been for weeks.

Pics for anyone who wants to see their policy.

Darkemp · Feb 22, 2021

Wasn’t on the shelf at BP- they were setup over by the safes near the shooting arcade and selling off the rolling carts they use to stock with.

Yup. You have to check 3 places now.... on the shelf where the shells are (they sometimes put the 9mm and rifle ammo there), the black shelf in the aisle (I usually see winchester wb 5.56 there), and down by the safes is their new spot.

Next they'll start hiding boxes on shelves like a scavenger hunt... make you shop the whole store.

I SWEAR, neither my wife, nor I, saw those signs!!!!!

Ah!!!!!!! We never even went over near there.
We actually went in there to see IF they had #10 or #11 percussion caps.

Yeah, no kidding???
This old fart has never been good at scavenger hunts.
Heck, I can't even find the Jello in the fridge sometimes!

Thanks, everyone!!!!!!!!

It’s a shell game of sorts they seem to be playing, then they try to get you to sign up for their credit card with the caveat that they let you buy more boxes of ammo.

Ya know, the young lady at the checkout asked if I had a _____.
Never did understand what she said, because of those daggone masks.
This old man can't decipher what people are sayin', when they have a rag in their mouth(s).

I told her that I didn't know what she was talking about. :shrug:

Oh well. I don't have their card (any longer), anyway.

I went to Bass Pro today in Bristol Tn, only ammo they had was 308, 12 Ga slugs and 6.5 Creedmore. No primers or powder. Guy said there is a line every morning to get in for ammo.

On the plus side... opened a credit card and got a 20 dollar credit. So I bought targets and 22, 30 and 44 cal cleaning brushes. :shrug:

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. She offered a military discount to boot because she noticed my hat.

Only priced one gun for drill....... Henry Golden Boy youth 22 was 499, that's well under MSRP.

I've been in that store, in Bristol, several times.
My wife has family in Harlan, Kentucky, and I used to live in Kingsport, TN.

Nice store.

Whenever we are there, we also grab a burger and a shake and "Steak & Shake".
