Went to the grand opening today up in Hooksett. The boy is on school vacation and took a day off to spend some time with him. Here was my experience anyway:
1. BIG line waiting to get in.....they were giving out gift certificates from "5 to 100 dollars" so lots of folks got there early. We got a 10 dollar one and a 5. Paid for gas I guess.
2. Went right to the ammo aisle like everyone else to check what they had. In the aisle they had a decent selection of 50 round and 100 round boxes of 22lr. As I was reading the sign on the "limits" I was talking with my wife trying to decide Basspros definition of "Bulk" box because the limit was posted as "22lr bulk boxes limit one per guest". I didn't see any bulk packs so as I was trying to decide if we could get more than one of the 100 round packs (was talking out loud with my wife) some turd in a ratty cammo jacket looks right at me and actually yelled sternly......"THE LIMIT IS ONE BOX PER PERSON PERIOD". Well by the look of the ratty jacket I deciphered the turd did not work there and gave him the "back off dude" look and he walked away. DOn't know why people get in others business like that. ANyway......once I found a clerk in very short time he explained that basspro considers a 100 round box and above bulk but there was a short line in the corner for the actual bulk packs.....they had 500 round fed champion, 325 federal copper plated, 500 round blazer, and 333 Winchester white box. So.......quick 10 minute wait and the wife and I got out with 2 each 500 round federal champion. Score as far as I'm concerned at 23 bucks a box (4 and a half cents a round).
3. Store seems much smaller than Foxboro......no shooting gallery.....smaller tank......but the atmosphere is just as nice.
4. Found an xtra full choke for the 20 gage as the wife wants to try her hand at turkey this year.......found a hammer extension for my boys henry lever gun........some 357 mag Remington and some 38 spec Remington at a decent price .......21 bucks and 29 bucks.
5. All in all a good store and glad to have one 40 minutes away rather than taking the hike to Foxboro.
6. last but not least.......to turd man if you are on NES.......chill the hell out and MYOB next time......its just ammo dude.
Peace out!
