I remember when most Woolworth’s stores had a better than average sporting goods department. You could throw Sears and Montgomery Wards in that category, also. The gun counter would feature mostly new guns, a few beaters, and a 55 gallon drum with Mausers and Arisakas stuffed in it. My needs and wants were simpler then, but, they had everything. My first 1100 came from Woolworth’s, I still have the K4 Weaver I bought at Wards for my Remington 552.
There isn’t anything that really compares, anymore.
Best,
Ted
