Full description and what we offer
Let's be real: Big 5 is a sporting goods chain, not a dedicated gun shop. But if you're already there picking up a new pair of hiking boots or some fishing gear, they do have a firearms counter.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Convenient if you're shopping for other gear | Limited firearm selection |
| Usually has common ammo in stock | Staff may not be gun specialists |
| Chain store hours (open late, weekends) | Big box experience |
You're not going to find rare collectibles or get deep-dive advice on your next build here. This is grab-and-go territory. They carry some long guns, a few handguns behind the counter, and basic accessories.
What we don't know: Specific brands they stock, transfer policies, or whether they do consignment. If you need a transfer done, call ahead—chain stores can be hit or miss on that.
They're in the Ammon/Idaho Falls area. If you want a real gun shop experience with knowledgeable staff, Idaho Falls has dedicated FFLs. But if you need .22 ammo and a new tent in one trip, Big 5 handles that.
