I went to Dicks today to pick up a couple of boxes of Remington 20ga slugs for deer season, besides I had a $20 awards coupon.
While there I saw a few boxes of RGLs in 7.5s. I asked if they had any flats in the back and they came out with 2. Not a big score but with the sale price plus the 10% off and another Group Discount (have no idea what this was but hey I'll take it) I got 2 flats for $75. That didn't even figure in the coupon I had which was more than used up on the slugs at $12 a box.
But at least I added another 2 flats to the inventory.  |

| While you were there, you should have inquired about GL168's. It couldn't hurt. |

Yesterday, I picked up a case of 7 1/2's and a case of 6's. Tax and all, $80.00 and change. Could have gotten another. Then I came home to a $10.00 check redeemable at Dick's. Looks like I'll be going back.
But, what's going on with the 28 ga. loads? Cheapest I could find was $13.00 a box. |

I did, they had none. That's ok, I still have 10 flats of Federal's in 8s for sporting clays. The 7.5s are my trap loads. |

Good grab. I love those Rem Express out of my FAIR 16s. They've knocked 'em down hard for me, and are almost 1/2 the price of Federal Premiums. I always have some on hand. |

A score is a score, my friend. Much like a casual round of skeet, we're not judging 'em, we're just counting 'em. Good god, man, you're like a 16 ga.-shell vacuum cleaner 
Myself, my last gun/shell purchase got me with $200 in Cabela's bucks. Also got one $10 certificate from Dick's and another on the way. Hmm...wonder where that money will go 
Birds are in the freezer, gun's clean ... nap time. God, I love the upland life! |

Would be nice if the Dick's here in the Quad Cities carried 16ga shells.

| You might ask at Doicks if they could order them. I just stopped in and bought a few boxes of RGL in 7 1/2. No 8's in stock. The sticker said $4.49 but they rang up $4.18 at the counter. I know the manager at Wall Mart said she could order shells for me but it would have to be 5 cases minimum. |

The 2 Dick's stores near me both informed me that they have absolutely no control of inventory. |

The one near me said the same thing, which was surprising until the asst. store manager told me he didn't know anything about guns or ammo. I told him I believed him. Dick's are dicks.
Case in point:
I visited in January. I asked where certain muzzleloader stock was. Clerk told me they take the display down when the season is over and use the floor space for other things. I said the muzzleloader season is still going on. No reply. I asked why, if the store only displays merchandise for the current conditions, was there a perpetual golf display when we had 2 feet of snow on the ground since the beginning of December. A shoulder shrug was my answer; he didn't work in the golf department. Dick's are dicks. How they ever became this countries largest sporting goods retailer is beyond me. |

| They may not know squat about what they are selling but they are the cheapest place I know of to buy Remington Game Load 16 gauge 7.5's. Still less than $4.00 per box. |

The issue with ordering from Dicks is that they can't order from corporate due to the set allotments by the company.
BUT, what they can do for you is to request transders from other stores. I've had it done twice for a total of 38 flats of RGLs in 7.5s. Unfortunately they couldn't locate any 8s for me. That's ok, I'll take the 7.5s.
You just need a manager that is willing to do it for you. |
