The missus and I were out and about today and stopped in BGF to check it out and see pricing on a .17HMR for her son as well as some AR parts for myself. Found the place pretty easy and it wasn't crowded at all. (This was about 3 o'clock.) When we walked it the place looked pretty good and there was less than a dozen people inside including the people behind the counter. We walked around a bit then walked up to the gun counter where the .22's were. A couple of the guys behind the counter were chatting and pretty much ignored us. After about 5 minutes one of them asked what we needed. I asked him about a .17HMR and he kinda sighed and walked over to the east end and started looking through them. He found one and handed it to me without even opening the bolt to make sure it was cleared. I cleared it before giving it to her to check out. We discussed the price and she said she wanted to think about it. I handed the gun back to him and he seemed upset we didn't want it right then. (She was wanting to wait a bit since she knew I still wanted to look around, not that she didn't want it at all.) I asked him about AR parts and he said they didn't have any, just guns. I asked him about Magpul stuff and he said they have a little bit of them on the other side and I would have to go over there and talk to Steve about them. I walked over there and the guy behind the Magpul case walked away. I said excuse me I have a couple of questions and he just looked at me and walked around the corner. and started chatting with the woman behind the counter. I waited a few minutes then when he didn't come over I decided it was time to leave before I said something out of place.
Their rudeness cost them a rifle sale and an accessories sale. Plus any future business I would bring or recommend. I will not be suggesting this place to anyone in the future. I had heard good things about this place and surprised at their poor attitudes. I gave it a -2 due to their attitude and rudeness towards each of us.
On a side note I called Indy Tactical, PSS and Bradis to see if they had a .17HMR rifle in stock. I was treated respectfully by all of them and my questions were answered without any problems. Ended up going to Bradis and got a better rifle for less money.
