Misc Anyone been to Sail lately?

I hadn't been to a Sail in years and was in the area so I stopped in. Some decent hunting gear there, and a large selection of guns, but like 90% bolt action rifles. Figured I'd grab some ammo. Grabbed 2 boxes of Challenger 12g buckshot, and a box of Blazer .22lr. Wanted to grab some 7.69x39 but they only had fancy Hornaday stuff for like $2 a shot.. Definitely not somewhere I'd shop regularly, but I almost forgot they existed.. Surprised I never hear them mentioned here at all.. Anybody here shop at Sail? Any reason not to?

Only ever been to the one in Ottawa, would go for clothing and camping stuff. Personally, I find the staff at the gun desk fairly uninformed, bordering on incompetent. Would never buy a gun there, might maybe buy ammo.

I’ve also noticed that this store displays all their semis with the actions locked back. I’m not a huge fan of this because springs under pressure might set over time (I know it’s been disproven before but still don’t like it). Their hunting section over all isn’t great either.
