old rugged crossOnline vendor recommendation request: Optics and ammo
out of Houston TX.
Not looking for optics or ammo but they have a camping gear piece I might want. Good price and free shipping.
Anyone use. Go or no go. Thanks.

arfmelRun away from those guys
https://www.bbb.org/us/tx/hous...mo-llc-0915-90049984There are also threads on other forums about problems people have had with that outfit.
I have a vague recollection of a thread here some years ago about those people. Think it was posted in the Billy Bob’s Bang Bang Boutique section.

Website really sucks. Amateurish. No way of sorting anything into brands or categories. Every fucking thing is lumped together. And prices? Ridiculously high. And, you have no way of knowing what's in stock.

12131And, based on the reviews posted by
arfmel above, it's a good thing they hide online. Because if they actually had a physical store, somebody probably would have done some bad things to them.

Just out of curiosity, I got on their website and clicked on About Us, then Terms of Service.
When the Terms of Service page has 20 sections full of legal gibberish, it's time to RUN, FORREST! RUN!

I have to disagree. There was a firestorm against Backcountry last year when it came out they tried to trademark the name “Backcountry”. They bullied and sued several small companies to force them into changing their name.
