This store is the worst. I ordered a gun. They did not have it ready to pick up when advertised,…read morethen when I finally did get there to pick it up they said they had cancelled my order and refunded me without notice. I also never saw a refund. Wasted my time and I still haven't gotten my money back. AVOID. Full story follows... Ordered a gun on August 17th. I live 2.5 hours' drive away from the store. Estimated pickup was August 25. I had a trip to Anchorage planned for early September so it seemed like that was fine. August 25th came and went with no update. On the 28th I contacted customer support and they said the gun had arrived but wasn't ready to be picked up yet. My trip to Anchorage came and went. While there I stopped by the store but they said I couldn't pick it up yet... OK... Fine. I don't know when I'll be back to Anchorage, but whatever. Finally I got a notice on September 4th (11 days later than advertised) that my gun was ready for pickup. Well now I couldn't get to Anchorage for a bit. Should be fine right? They delayed me so they should be able to handle a delay from my end. I can't make it to Anchorage on the regular. I went to Anchorage today October 4th, to finally get my gun. I had multiple emails (the last from September 29th) saying my gun was ready for pickup. I go into the store and they couldn't find it. Then they told me that the order had automatically been cancelled because I didn't pick it up in time. They said I should have been automatically refunded. I hadn't. I also hadn't received any notice about this. I got a little heated and they threatened to kick me out of the store. Fine. I calmed down. I asked if the gun was there today. They said it was. I asked if I could buy it at the same price that I ordered it for (I ordered it on sale). They said they could not honor that. I walked out. I just got home from Anchorage and I double-checked my credit card and I still have not received a refund. They will be getting a charge-back from me as they have essentially ROBBED me at this point beyond wasting my time and being completely unhelpful in any way whatsoever. THIS STORE HAS THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED AND I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN.

Took a ladies only class and was so excited to get to know how to use my handguns. While prepping…read morefor the class, the clearly written requirements included stating a "9MM or larger handgun" which worked great for me as I have a 10MM. I went out and purchased everything I needed for my 10MM for the class. However, when their secretary (?) called me, she said the instructor would NOT allow me to use my 10MM, only a 9MM. Although this really irritated me, my husband took me out and completely set me up with a 9MM that I could use as my concealed carry, this cost us just at $1,000 dollars. I was told I could bring both to class to shoot, but the training would be with the 9MM. When I went to the Friday night meet and greet, I was then told when we were checking our equipment that I would NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE EITHER OF MY HANDGUNS, rather, I had to use one he had in his "rental" fleet. Basically, he decided for me what is best for me even though I already have 2 guns which I need familiarity with, which I thought is what this class was for. Let's review, now I have 2 handguns that I have literally invested thousands of dollars into that I will not have any familiarity with because Steve wouldn't allow it in his class. He said "maybe at the end of the day, you could shoot your own guns." Oddly, other women were allowed to use their personal guns which made me feel literally disrespected and discriminated against. I did choose to go to this training anyways figuring I would get the most out of the instruction of theory and safety, then I could blend in my own guns during the shooting time. I used his larger and what I consider lesser gun for the shooting, but was never allowed to use mine at all until after 5:00 when the class was slated to end at 4:00. I was done with this and simply took all my things and left for the 1.5 hour drive home. Recommendations: The "Classroom" instruction piece was both informative and good. The class gun requirements as written are both misleading and not followed by the instructor. The instructor showed no appreciation nor value in making sure the clients are versed in the use of their own firearms. For this reason and the misleading class requirements, I would not recommend this class to anyone as I felt both disrespected by Steve and duped by their process. If you are a woman older than 60 and choose to go to this class anyway after reading this, prepare to leave upset.

We stopped in because we were both on the hunt for work boots and Carhartt's. Upon entry, an awesome table with fishing paraphernalia, which was great to see since I've been tying flies to get prepped for the season. No fly tying supplies, but plenty of quality gear in the store! The staff was super nice and quick to offer assistance! We were browsing but the moment we were in the footwear section, there was someone there to assist with sizes. Excellent selection of workwear for women, plenty of Carhartt's and Dovetail clothes with sizes from 0-24 that I was able to see. A helpful gentleman mentioned that if my size wasn't on the rack, they'd be happy to check a small supply in the back and also their downtown store. That's was great to know, since I forgot about the downtown location. They have a couple of dressing rooms for trying on items prior to purchase. Although we didn't find boots for my husband, I did pick up some Dovetail work pants and overalls that are not only functional, but attractive too. Everyday clothes men's, women & children...blue collar work clothing, high vis, sportsman wear, boots & shoes and a nice selection of fishing gear to boot! They offer a rewards program, birthday coupons and veteran's discount to boot! Big Ray's is definitely worth a stop!

Michelle showed us an Instagram post from just 9 hours earlier and tipped us off about salmon fishing. She was incredibly knowledgeable and walked us through exactly what to do (I didn't totally follow but my husband did luckily). After already paying $$$$ for a guided fishing tour with no luck, we were honestly both excited and weren't sure if it's something we could do it on our own. But she was absolutely right!! We rented waders, fishing rods, and everything we needed right there, and followed her rod set up instruction and all the boys had an amazing time--ending up catching a large salmon (we could have caught more but we got to the river so late..) ! The rental process was easy and they had all the gear on hand. It was our first Alaskan trip and what could have been a pretty average trip turned into something unforgettable, thanks to Michelle and Dave. It ended up being an adrenaline-filled experience, and we'll definitely be coming back next year. Thank you Michelle and Dave!
