I sell guns at this store (going in here in a bit today as a matter of fact) and we are pumped to hear how people enjoy our store. It is also a GREAT place to work. For instance, this morning we had (paid) training....we were shooting the Weatherby rifle line (including the incoming 307 Alpine CT) with Nightforce optics and using Longshot camera systems with the respective product reps out to 1050 yds. :) The Hawkins Precision rings and mounts you saw are great products made right here in Colorado Springs. I use them on my Seekins HIT. If there is anything I can do for you (or anything I can help you get ahold of) just call and ask for Larry in guns!!! PS HUGE bonus.....we are incredibly dog friendly!!! Bring your fur balls to hang out!!

Hey I'm a younger guy newer to the firearms industry for about 4 years now. I don't know if I've ever seen you there but every time I go into the shooting area the guys there are always super cold, super stern with me. For no reason. Any time I've asked anything from the guys over there they are no where near as enthusiastic or welcoming as anybody else that works at Scheels. Sometimes it gets a little discouraging. This isn't even a thing with just Scheels either. There is a stigma where experienced guys in the firearms community look down on younger guys like myself who are still learning a little bit as they go and I don't know why. I hope you're not one of those people, and I'll be sure to look around for you Larry next time I go there and need assistance!

I had to sell both my models 19 (stainless) & Blue 29 S&W's when they outlawed them back in the 80's. This was after a mass shooting when the government oulawed them. I got a pittance for them when I had to sell them back to The Keep in Tavistock, Devon. I've spent 22yrs in the Royal Marines and 25yrs as a police officer (firearms counter terrorism role). This was the only time I could be around guns. IF I win the lottery, i'm applying for a Green card under the U.S.A's 50,000 per year Green card lottery system. I live in hope.🙏🤞

As someone who worked in retail for many years I’m really impressed with how well everything was zoned, merchandised, end caps are full, everything is priced. I didn’t get to see any interactions with cs or sales floor staff but just based on what I saw of the rest, that management team cares about what their store looks like and is putting product on the shelves where they can. Notice how clean the glass was on the display cases. That crew is working hard to maintain that store and drives sales. Thanks for the video.

Scheels is a fun store to visit and explore.
