They leave me at the register. From that point on I am solo.
Same here...I've never had them walk me out of the store.

Re: buying guns at academy

The only reason they walk you up is to verify with the computer up front that serial numbers and stock numbers match up with what was procured at the gun bar. I can certainly understand that as they deal with a lot of inventory and need to cover themselves.

For those who don't like the walk up front, do you get just as mad (or refuse to do business) with Best Buy when you buy a TV and they have to walk you up front to pay for it? Same thing with a computer... (this applies to most stores with high dollar items)

I'll save myself some money and walk with the manager. It's usually good for a 45 second conversation about guns and hunting.

Re: buying guns at academy

I buy a lot of firearms at Academy. They have some of the best prices IMO. It never takes me anymore than 15 to 20 minutes.

I highly doubt they farm data from the 4473's.
