I got Gander Mountain to refund my money once by talking to the manager. If they are not going to stand by what they sell you might as well buy the rest of your guns online because Gander Mountain is expensive as hell compared to online gun stores and even my local gun store. I have no idea why people continue to buy from them when you can buy elsewhere cheaper. I bought once and then found out that I paid $200 more for the same exact gun than my LGS was selling it for. No more going along for the ride with relatives who visit there to buy guns. I am an impulse buyer so I need to stay away from gun stores where I can get instant gratification.
