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.

Yup, if I boycotted every company I had issues with I would never buy much.

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.
I dont know about theses safes , but I got a able safe from ables in pinconning , it is very sturdy and I have not had any issues with it easy combination dial , which I prefer as no battery's to deal with and dial combos have been around forever . got a deceit price on it as well.its the end of the year so they may have sales going on as well. good luck

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.
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.
