Stellarpod - OKC
Sorry it took almost 3 months to reply. Erps. Yes, right here in central OK. I stop in to the 'new' BassPro 2-3 times a week every since they built it, and bought more than a few things there, too, but since the Sportsman's Warehouse came in about what, 1 year ago, to north OKC, it's definitely my favorite place. The ONLY reason I can still be found in BassPro more often than SW is because it's much closer to me than the Sportsmans Warehouse. Of course, there are many different sizes & layouts of BassPros across the country, and none as big as Springfield. My understanding is that our OKC BP is one of the smallish ones, square-footage & selection-wise. Beautiful taxidermy/decor however. The selection is extremely lame on shooting supplies and guns and knives and ammo. Handgun ammo and reloading supply selection are abysmal at BP. Their archery area is nice/extensive however. Sportsmans Warehouse is much better on the guns, shooting, & especially reloading side of things. My favorite places to buy things in the metro, not counting gun shows, in order of preference:
