Also, Dicks quit carrying Scentblocker clothing a few years ago because they had a "salvation message" stuffed in the pockets of their clothing. Dicks didn't want anyone mistakingly hearing about Christ. So, if you needed another reason to avoid that chain, there's one for ya.

I don't have the experience with AR's that a lot here do, but I have one of his and I don't baby it by any means, and it still works flawlessly and shoots better than I can.

I wasn't super impressed with mine until I replaced a few things on it

The only thing I can compare it to is my cousin's M&P-15, but I have zero complaints with mine and the trigger is noticeably better than the factory S&W one. Mine is his basic "service rifle" in 5.56 with a 12" quad rail. The only thing I want to replace on it is the quad rail because it's bulky and rough, but I'm the one that picked that out to begin with. I will eventually replace it with something like a slim, m-lock/keymod handguard with individual pieces of rail where I need them - but that's what he suggested to begin with, but I was on a budget and declined.

No more Field & Stream/DSG. Period. Done with them, unless they reverse this horse chit

This is just like Under Armor and cutting ties with the Bomars after the spear incident. UA wasn't wanting to renew their contract, probably because they wanted to give more money to Eva and Tiffany (righty so I think.) They were looking for an easy out and that was it. Nothing more.

Dick's was probably looking to cut these ties because of low sales anyway and they thought this was a good PR move and killed a few birds with 1 stone kind of thing.

Another example. Talladega Race Track-- remember when a person could carry in as much beer as they could tote? Then after 9/11 it was reduced to a 6 pack cooler. Why do you think that happened? Was it for the safety of the crowd or because now the track would sell 10X more beer in the concession stand at $6 a beer? It was an excuse to stop the big coolers.

The opposed flame on but will get over it in a short time and the dollar wins..ask walmart.

Yeah it sucks! I liked the one (Field n Stream) in Mobile, and Academy don't carry much of nothing anymore, and i'm not driving across the bay to BPS...

You won't drive past Dick's and pay $10.00-$20.00 more. Dick's has always had high prices. If you look at statistics, more people are killed every year with baseball bats than with rifles. When will they be removing bats from their shelves? I mean if they are REALLY concerned with deaths, and not just trying to be politically correct, wouldn't that be the right thing for them to do considering their so called "concern"?

Get people to vote and we can beat em at their own game.

Remember all the recent stuff about the LGBT crowd being upset because some poor bakery owner didn’t feel comfortable making them a wedding cake? I thought the rule of law was that a private business couldn’t just “decide” out of the blue which demographic they felt like doing business with for lawful business transactions?? I wonder if that is even lawful for them to say they won’t sell under 21 when there’s no law on the books preventing that transaction?

Maybe doekiller or someone with a legal understanding will weigh in on this, I am curious as well, and have a 19 year old that needs a new gun.

The liberals have a huge bankroll behind em, not so of us peons.

Field & Stream is not related to Dick's Sporting Goods at all Dick's Sporting Goods owns a brand called Field & Stream

Could be a great learning experience for your Son about gun control. I taked him to buy one.

I'm sure the states won't care about the age thing and possible discrimination, since a lawsuit would take years to wend its way through the judicial system to the Supreme Court. By then they could argue "See! Nothing has happened in our state since we did this so it's common sense!" and hope the libs have regained the House and/or Senate and possibly another Supreme on the bench.

Incorrect,"Field & Stream is a retailer of hunting, fishing, camping, and related outdoor recreation merchandise that is a subsidiary of Dick's Sporting Goods. Despite its name, the retailer has no association with Field & Stream magazine, the seminal outdoor publication, founded in 1895. There is widespread public confusion about this point, and the retailer has done little to dispel the mix-up.

"On February 28, 2018, Field & Stream announced that it will no longer sell assault-style rifles, also known as modern sporting rifles; and it will no longer sell high-capacity magazines. Field & Stream said it would no longer sell firearms to anyone under the age of 21. Field & Stream said it has never, and will never, sell bump fire stocks that allow a person to modify a semi-automatic firearm to fire more rapidly.[10]"

My bad I read it wrong

Am I mistaken or did Dick's sponsor Major League Bowhunter? I don't watch the show enough to remember, but it sticks in my head because I thought it was strange. MLB is Chipper's show. Strangely enough his partner is/was Jessie Harrison-Duff. A world champion 3 gun shooter. Wish I knew how to post pic. i have 1 of them both holding an AR with a 15 round mag.

Twenty-five years ago the then-parent company of Field & Stream Magazine sold licensing agreements to use the name. Since then that parent company sold all its publications to another one -- Bonnier Corporation.

The current magazine and parent company have zero involvement with the existing Field & Stream Shops that are a subsidiary of DSG. None. There is no crossover, partnership, association, consulting, nada. They don't do anything and the magazine doesn't have any influence on or decisions-input about what the retail store does, and vice versa.

I learned this before the Field & Stream Shops opened a couple of years ago and confirmed with a friend this morning.
