That store is pretty terrible. The only good thing about it is watching people shoot through at the range behind the glass. Huge disappointment IMO. I go 4-5 times a year when I take the girls shopping at Tanger but I can't think of anything I've ever bought.On a visit to the Great Smoky Mtn.’s and Gatlinburg for the first time in years, and swing by Bud’s Gun in Sevierville… frankly; I was not impressed. Don’t mistake me- respectable selection of firearms, helpful staff; but… not what I personally expected. Limited ammunition selection, limited reloading supplies, no snap caps and limited related esoterica. Handled a few odd specimens I’d not gotten the chance to handle elsewhere, but I’d almost state that Sevierville Pawn next door had a better firearm selection. I did not expect a literal *warehouse*, but Good Lord… I expected a better use of floor space than the tourist trap it boiled down to.
Drive 3 more hours to Charlotte to Hyatt. They have 20x the selection of buds and smokey mountain...combined
There is a smokey mountain guns and ammo in the same parking lot as the buds that the OP went to. It's equally disappointing though. A 40x40 dimly lit hole in the basement of the knife works storeSMGA at 6221 Riverview Crossing Dr, Knoxville, TN 37924 will make up for your disappointment.
All this talk makes me wanna take a weekend trip back to Sevierville again!
What in heck for. Lol I go when the boss tells me and I despise it. Tourist trap. When your local gas station has 120 pumps and they are all full and lined up a mile and a half back......there is just too damn many people in too few acres. Lol. And what the hell is a beaver nugget anyways.....
Been going since I was a kid riding go-carts in the 80s. Its declined more and more since then. And the funny thing is my neighbors who LIVE at the tri-state corner and have FAR better views spend 75k on a camper, 75k on a truck to pull It, 200 a night for a camping space... to drive to Gatlinburg and pull in between two other campers and look at the highway... lol
They have the best Tanger outlets ive seen if you like that type thing. I take the kids there for school shopping and such. The Titanic is pretty neat once. Wonder works is neat once. Smoky mountain knife works has an amazing selection of knives but if it's not on sale you can buy it online for 20% less most anywhere and the store is a madhouse with absolutely no rhyme or reason to what booth is where as far as I can tell. 10k people handling the same knives that next to nobody actually buys. Lol. Wood grill buffet is a decent buffet stop too.
