Kurt is outstanding--he really knows his firearms inside and out. As a first‑time pistol buyer, I…read morewanted someone who could walk me through the process with real expertise, and he delivered exactly that. I drove three hours to his shop, and it was absolutely worth the trip. He took the time to answer every question, explain the differences between models, and make sure I left with the right fit for me. The whole experience was professional, friendly, and confidence‑building. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Be careful buying their Gunbroker listings. In my opinion they have shill bidders that try to run…read moreup their prices. Then when the shill bidder wins the auction, they don't complete the transaction and Tar river immediately relists the item with a higher starting bid. If they are going to be deceptive they should use a shill bidder that doesn't have 10 feedback that are ALL from Tar River Arms...SMFH

Ordered 2 boxes of ammo for 76 bucks federal HST 9MM 147GR . But apparently it was sold out. Read…read morethe terms and conditions after I purchased saying it will let you order back ordered products. So my fault for not reading before hand. But I called over and customer service never answers. So I called sales and Emily always answers and she got me refunded. Took 2 days because they need 24 hours after purchase to be able to cancel. Then takes 24 to 48 hours for the money to go back into your account. Even called south Carolina retail store to confirm if that was true and it is. The guy was real nice too. Next time I'll call to see if things are in stock before purchasing. Very nice company though. Emily's extension #241027

The building is a bit difficult to see from the highway because it's at the back of the lot next to a used car dealership. Make the effort to get to this store.

They were super busy in that time between Thanksgiving and Christmas with the Santa lit up out…read morefront and lots of shoppers. I was mostly here because Cabela's / Bass Pro tolerate overnight parking for RVs in their lot. I didn't find the designated parking area for RVs. Inside, the store was packed. Lots of people shopping and I did check out the men's wear and the firearms. Pistols looked to be priced okay, ammo was medium and there were plenty of bargains for camping gear if you looked carefully. The store is clean, the bathroom was excellent, and it was a pleasant shop. [Review 2447 of 2024 - 3902 in North Carolina - 23459 overall]

Now Cabela's is telling us that despite the fact it was THEIR mistake, they will not refund or exchange ammo. So they can scam you out of your money and refuse to correct their mistakes. Apparently their staff at the gun counter don't actually know anything about what they're selling.
