    Field and Stream

    Who has experience with Field and Stream safes? What are your thoughts? What do you like or dislike about them?

    I wouldn't buy (or even take it if they were free) anything from Field and Stream, or their parent company Dick's for any reason. It could be one of the best on the market and I would go elsewhere.

    They don't deserve our patronage after what they did after Sandyhook.

    If I may interject... sometimes they sell things at considerably lower than you can find any competitor. When they are selling a $300 gun for $50 less than the next store, I presume they are taking a small hit on those items to get people in the door. I have no problem buying those.
    Otherwise, I shop elsewhere.

    On an old sled site, someone put a list together of places to not patronize. Either because they were tree huggers, environment Waco’s or of the sort.

    The list was so long. It was a real eye opener.

    The site is now gone but I bet most of those companies would fall into the same category here.

    Another Vote for Able in Pinconning. I bought My Brahma safe there, 5 or 6 years ago, no issues what so ever, Nice people to deal with!

    The F&S are the low end of the safe industry. Thin metal, cheap electronic locks, minimal amount of securing bolts... My amsec safe is twice the weight for the same size. All that weight is steel.

    And what is it they did?
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a sleeping pill and laxative on the same night.

    Dicks stopped selling Ar15s after Sandy Hook. Now they wont sell anything like that including AKs. I am not a big AR or AK guy, but I wont shop at either Dicks or Field and Stream any longer. I spend way more on non-firearms there in the past. Sports Authority hired a new leader in the 1990s. She did not like firearms and so started to shut off the supply to the stores. There was no boycott there, just a natural loss of business. Outdoor people are outdoor people. I don't know who these stores know their clientele.
