I buy probably 50% of my hunting and fishing gear online. I like shopping classified sites such as craigslist, gunbroker, etc. I don't mind purchasing used gear or guns and quite often find deals i just can't turn down. I think there needs to be more options though as it seems bass pro and cabelas are about the only places worth visiting as other stores don't really have much of anything listed. You could always buy direct from manufacturer, but you'll generally pay full price. Box stores like Sportsmans, Gander mtn, ****'s etc could substantially increase sales you would think, if they had online ordering.
