Any actual good experiences with FOC?

As the title states, has anyone actually had any good experiences with Firearms Outlet Canada? Getting back into the sport after several years of hiatus. I’ve been to their old store and had a pretty piss poor interaction with them. They act like everything you ask is a chore and it’s a privilege to be buying from them.

Thought I would try them again since they’re 5 min from my folks place. Called to ask to price match a $30 difference on a rifle and was told they only price match Ontario stores. Then I asked if I pick it up can I get a few bucks off from shipping savings since they offer free shipping over $500 (yes my order was over $500) and was also told no.

Naturally I ordered my rifle from another reputable shop online.

To be fair, you were asking for discounts where there aren’t any.

I’ve ordered from them about 4-6 times and had nothing but pleasant experiences. They’ve even gone above and beyond a couple times.

I’ve never had issues price matching between stores. And I think just taking off the shipping costs from my order was a reasonable ask since shipping a rifle is still $10-$20.

Some business owners get really butthutt about that, FYI.
