My experiences walking into gun stores in the past have generally been anything but favorable, but I am happy to report that Bear Arms firearms was able to change that. I had just had some custom work done on my Glock and received it back far earlier than I had expected, leaving me in a rush to get my Vortex Viper I had it modified for. I quickly figured out that even the big box stores like bass pro cabelas and sportsman's warehouse were completely out of all their stock of the Viper. As I called around I came to find out that many of the local stores were out of stock as well on the Viper red dot. I was not sure what to do, and was lucky to find bear arms. They had the sight in stock and were nice enough to hold it aside for me until I was able to make it in. I was surprised to find that they were open till 7 on Friday's, allowing me to run over after work to purchase it! The staff were very pleasant and took care of me quickly. The store was clean and very well stocked. I didn't poke around too much as I was ready to get home, but I definitely liked what I saw.
