Down at one end we discovered the Sierra Mountain Outdoor store, and on a rack of clothing that was out front on the sidewalk, I found a beautiful plaid shirt that fit him perfectly. Even marked down the prices aren't cheap, but the quality is excellent, and in the case of the Marmot shirt I bought for my husband, it comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Three stars. This…read moreBig 5 has one of the best retail locations in the county. You've got a steady stream of people heading to Tahoe, Kirkwood, Silver Lake, and the rest of the Sierra, plus a community that's packed with youth sports. This place should be absolutely crushing it. Instead, walking through the front doors feels like someone hit pause in 1994 and never came back. I swear I hear grunge music every time I walk in. Not over the speakers... just in my soul. I'm always expecting someone to ask if I need help finding a VCR head cleaner, a new pager clip, or directions to the nearest Blockbuster. If RadioShack and Sports Authority had a baby that refused to acknowledge the last 30 years of retail, it'd probably look like this. The funny part is, this store has so much potential. It should be the place where everyone stops before heading to the mountains because they forgot propane, hiking socks, fishing tackle, snow gloves, or a football mouthguard for Saturday's game. Instead, it has the energy of a retail museum. The only thing missing is a "Please Rewind" sign hanging over the register. The staff has always been friendly, which is why this isn't a one-star review. I just wish corporate would realize they've got a gold mine sitting at the gateway to the Sierra and give this place the glow-up it's deserved for about three decades. Until then, I'll keep expecting to find a stack of Blockbuster membership forms next to the checkout.

I thought I'd miss the window to pick up a Glock amidst the recent ban, but this store gave me an explanation and scenario where I could still purchase and pick up timely. I know they were still making a sale, but it was nice to feel like they were willing to properly inform me of what I actually needed to purchase and the timelines I needed to meet. After living in Nevada for a few years, the California laws take some readjusting to. I would say I "would" be back here for another purchase, but I'd be surprised if one of my next two firearms purchases aren't from here. Would definitely recommend at least stopping by and seeing what they have (I'm a sucker for used/old guns...)

Together we've been to an indoor range in North Highlands that ai frequent, and the Mather shooting range before it closed. We came out here on a Sunday after so she could test out her new pistol, and so we could my rifles on the rifle side of the range. We checked in the main shop area, and picked up a speed loader and extra disposable ear plugs. And then eventually went out to the pistol range first. Both the pistol and long gun range alike, have a large number of shooting bags each. And each have a good range distance for shooting, wapwxially the rifle range. Definitely will be coming back for more outdoor shooting, and look forward to some long range shooting as well.

Let me tell you all the cons first and then go over all the pros of this place…read more First the name is extremely misleading because it's no where close to Sacramento. However it's really the only con I can muster because everything else is amazing. This is a beautiful and large shooting range located far for people from the Bay Area. However if you happen to be near the area (I was at the Elk Grove Sportsman's which is about 45 minutes away), I would HIGHLY recommend you to come here. Everything about this place is laid back which is great for most experienced range goers (if you've been to other ranges so you know the rules). There is no one to breath over your shoulder or even fuss with yorlur firearms. They treat you as an adult which I just love. However it's probably not a good place for first timers because they expect you to know how to handle firearms safely and properly. The cost is very reasonable ($25 currently) and they give you a free target which you staple to a wooden stand that you carry to the distance you'd like. I also love the fact it's open on Monday and Tuesday which is not the case for many outdoor ranges in the Bay Area. It's not crowded and the range master is on a speaker from a central "traffic control box" and he'll do the 2 minute warning and 15 minutes shooting announcements. Overall, it's an amazing place for shooting. Honestly if it were closer (it's almost 3 hours drive for me), I'd be making this range my primary range and pay for the membership for cheaper range fees.
