- Ill just say that at first, I was a little put off when I called them. "Freddie Bear." ... Hi to you too? No "Thank-you for calling.. or anything. However, I was so impressed with my in-store experience, that Im no longer bothered by the initial phone calI. + I went their initially for arrowheads. I also grabbed some feathers for fletching. The employee showed me a few things to help me with my project as well as gave me tips on how to put things together and whatnot. This definitely helped a bunch. I was treated very well. The man who helped me out (and answered the phone) was very friendly and went out of his way to help me find what I was looking for. He was very social as well. Very easy to talk to. I even scored a tiny pistol keychain! Cool! Unfortunately, they didnt have the type of flip out knife I was looking for. They had about 20 total knives to choose from. The stores stock seems to be about half guns, half archery. Ill definitely be coming back here for any further archery needs, to buy gun ammo, or to possibly buy a gun. Awesome customer service. Great first experience here. 4.5/5 would shop

I took my sons AR15 in to have a quad rail attached since we didnt have the proper tools to do the job ourselves. I dropped the gun off and received a call in a couple of days that the gun was finished. I went out to pick it up and the gun was finished and the gentleman checking me out told me that the muzzle brake was marred, which we knew and the free float handguard was marred. We knew that and had no problems with that. When I picked up the gun the Quadrail was installed and everything, as far I could see was ok. I was looking for the completed job. I picked up my son from school today and the first thing he did was go and look at his gun. The next thing I heard was that there was a scratch on his brand new quad rail and that it had been covered up with sharpie marker. I was disappointed that the clerk did not point this out to me and that someone would try to cover the damage with a sharpie. This was the first time I had any dealings with Freddie Bear and I am pretty sure it will also be the last.

The guy that finished taking care of me was very nice and helpful When I came in I was taken care of by someone with a terrible attitude! Treated me like an idiot. Im going for my CCL and had questions about safety of the glock. He was such a condescending @&$@/@! If I were a guy ...he would have been picking up his teeth. I know many woman that are doing the same thing and guess what...the female market is untapped and we like to buy!!! I will make sure I post on AR15 for females not to go there...rude. As I stated the gentleman that finished helping me was nice (my guy left). That was the second time I was there and treated like an idiot. I grew up around guns and was just looking for advice on CC options ...not an idiot

I recently purchased a handgun for law enforcement purposes...the knowledge of the staff was very good...also...no attitude issues with anyone that was working...many gun shops that serve law enforcement tend to have major attitude issues simply because they can...i have made purchases over the years at freddie bear....what I like the most, is the old "mom & pop" feel the store has...no huge corporate stale feeling..the owner...Fred, is always available if you want to ask him something...the people he hires, actually hunt/fish, and shoot...you dont get that "kid who doesnt care" attitude there....they recently aquired "law enforcement pricing"...so to my fellow bretheren,....YOU DONT HAVE TO GO TO RAY OHERRON ANYMORE!!....lol...

I walk in mostly empty store. Only 2 customers and they at gun counter with sales associate. One employee ignores me as I attempt to ask about item Im looking to buy. He says this area not his expertise and walks away. No one else comes over nor does employee get someone who knows. I find dusty item and now Im standing at counter waiting to pay. No one comes to register as I watch them sitting in back talking. After 5 minutes of no service I replace item and walk out. Wanted to support local business as I hunt all over the country. Taking my business back to big box stores where you treated much better. Highly disappointed.

The guys behind the counter has nothing to do with it they actually know their s*** but Freddy bear is ripping people off . I bought an American tackle of 45 Fatboy out the door paid over $650 first time I shoot it it starts falling apart. So I bring it back tell him I want to buy a different one what can he do for me you give me 425 dollars store credit plugins 225 in matter of a couple days so I by the Springfield mod2- for $700 . Yhen i go to a gun range in Lombard . Which their selling the Springfield mod 2 brand new - for 562 dollars. . So if you want to pay way more then what other places charge go to Freddy bears.

Went in looking for a new bow. Three employees just sat there taking to themselves. Never offered assistance. When I asked if this was all their selection of recurves, was told in that size yes, then ignored and never helped again. This is the second time Ive gone there and had terrible service. Will not be back. Prices are terrible as well. Of the only five options they had, three were Martin Jaguar takedown bows for $299. Can order from Martin for $100 less. Ridiculous! Ill drive a few hours to shop at 3 Rivers Archery instead. Much better service and more reasonable prices!!

When I came in to purchase my glock 17 the salesman was very friendly I paid cash was in and out in 20mins tops easy sale. When I came back a different salesman threw my glock case up on the counter like it was his was very short with me and just talked down to me like I knew nothing. When he was done he just walked away drinking his little frappuccino and said ok Im done . How about look me in my face and shake my hand and say have a good day you dbag. Because of this little short and fat salesman Ill never be back.

My eyes literally popped out of my head while I was ringing up ammo at this place today. It was so expensive I couldnt even buy it just based on principle alone. And Im not even a tight wad. The ammo prices in this store are damn near double what they are at all the other local stores around here. It was nearly 50 bucks for 2 boxes of range 9mm. He said that was the cheapest range stuff they had in the store. So if youre looking for ammo, look somewhere else.

I purchased a revolver and the young lady who helped me was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I think anyone would feel comfortable buying from Freddie Bear. I recommend them since I have been to other gun shops locally where the sales folks seemed to be uptight and somewhat rude. I appreciate friendly, prompt, knowledgeable customer service which is what I got at Freddie Bear.
