Shop local, friendly, professional, service, great value. Nothing better than locally owned businesses.

Stopped in here for Black Friday Sale. The lady Cheryl helping me and my wife was very knowledgeable and was very fast moving. Helping us very briskly. Ended up getting what we were looking for at a very very good price. They can even direct you to a custom holster business. There is plenty of parking. I would definitely recommend this place if your looking for friendly, knowledgeable customer service. read more

Price gouging on 12 gauge steel ammo everywhere else is reasonable price they seem to think that their ammo is worth 20 bucks a box I think it's ridiculous they try to take Advantage of people like that read more

Was visiting family in the area for thanksgiving and decided to stop by and check out their Black Friday deals.... great prices on what we were looking for. Really glad we stopped by. They have a fully stocked floor. We will definitely be stopping by on our next trip to Bakersfield. Amazing customer service by Cheryl ! read more

Came in for a PPT, was super easy and fast. The staff was helpful and very polite. I highly recommend

Never shopping here again. Used to just put up with these fowl ladies because Gene was such a good man. And I support small business. TOO MANY times I've been cut short and been treated rude here. Back to valley gun or 2nd amendment. read more

The staff are rude on the phone and also rude in store. Bad vibes all the way around here. Horrible customer service.

Great customer service! We called to check if they had what we were looking for. They did! Cheryl confirmed with us she would hold it for us until we arrived. Coming from LA it would take us a few hours. When we arrived the place was full! We were welcomed and didn't have to wait much to be taken care of. Our paperwork was done relatively quick and our purchase was done and we were out of there! They are very knowledgeable women and I was happy to chat with them and get a lot of useful information from these two women. Will definitely be back for future purchases. read more

Bear Mountain Sports - Business card - Sporting Goods Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I have recently purchase two guns from this company. They have up to this point have been very helpful. I just went there the other day for some help on one of the guns I purchased from them and boy they were very upset with helping me. I was very uncomfortable with this. I couldn't understand why their whole attitude had changed. They weren't busy at this time. The person that has always been helpful was not. The guy there is always put out when he is forced to help. After this I will not go back for anything. Also would recommend people to go some place other than this one. Zero stars service is now lousy! read more

Called on the phone for specific Ammo and was told they had it on stock, turns out they don't. Waste of time and gas.

I have been buying guns from them for years and have ordered several from them and have always had great service

Really good for a variety of gear and product and Friendly staff! They have lights, cleaning, hunting gear. Anything you can think of a lot of little stuff that will help get you set up. read more

Zero stars, worst service ever. Don't even bother everything can be done online according to employees.

To put things in perspective. I am a 25 year old Mexican American United States marine veteran. So I've been on the market looking for a specific handgun and when I looked it up on the website of the brand name. They pointed me to BMS. I excitedly came to the store and was automatically greeted terribly by the older women working there. Very strong attitude and tone in her voice when speaking to me as if I offended her with my presence. I shook it off and greeted her with a "good afternoon ma'am". I then proceeded to ask her about the specific brand and model gun I wanted. She then Responded with aggression and attitude towards me telling me that someone came earlier asking for that same gun. Yelling at me that " it's not a California legal gun tell the company to take us off their website we don't sell that her" she then walked away from me as if I offended her. Before I left I asked one last question in regards to another brand of handguns that I may be able to look at. She responded with a "nothing to sell to someone like you". At this point I can honestly say I was a bit afraid because after all they sell guns here and she was armed. I automatically began to think this women is a racist and she may use any excuse to draw her weapon on me. I know it sounds exaggerated but in the moment this women tone sounded as if she hated me for no given reason and wanted me gone. Never going there again and I highly recommend if you're a person that is, for the lack of better words, not white do not come near this store. read more

Very friendly and helpful staff!!! Came visiting for the holidays and needed a recoil spring for my 1911. Even when close to closing time, the staff was quick in determining and finding the product requested. The prices were fair and I recommend this place over other local shops in town. read more

So, another gun joint. This one is way out on the far east side of town. The workers (owners?) and polite and professional. the selection of firearms, both new as well as consignment, is somewhat limited. That shouldn't deter you from checking this joint out there. The employees and supporting products more than make up for any other shortcomings. I would def recommend this joint to friends and family. read more

I noticed they had a certain rifle in the background of one of their pictures on Facebook. So I decided to stop by on the way home after work to check it out. I'm glad I did because I ended up buying it. They have an excellent shop, good prices, excellent customer service and I love the location of shop. read more

Horrible customer service. Drove all the way out to this place after calling regarding shotgun shells. I was met by an employee who looked miserable to be at her job. No greeting, No "can I help you?"No knowledge on ammo. Acted like I was bothering her and was so rude while telling me I would have to wait until someone else came in. Very unhappy , rude , and nasty attitude. What a waste of my time and fuel. Called back after I drove off to discuss with owner....he was like "oh well" This place is horrible. Don't waste your time or money. I tried to shop local but local is lame at this place. If this lady worked for me I would have fired her on the spot. Even though I really want to buy some shells to go duck hunting and everyone is sold out of steel heavy shot I would rather pass on a hunt than give this dump my money. I think it wont be long until this place folds up if this is how they treat customers read more

Called about ppt here handguns and one long gun. A woman answered, when I inquired about the ppt she hung up.i redialed and spoke to the woman about the ppt again she said it would be 35 dollars for the first hand gun 35 for the second and 35 for the long gun as she stated because it's a long gun? I am well versed in these transactions a I am a serious collector. I know ppt prices are regulated by the state. These people try to take advantage of people who are not in the know. Go to valley guns as I did and only paid 55.00 to complete this transaction. read more

I came too Bear Mountain Sports too get a gun transfer and I was told that both parties needed a California ID and then when we come back we would get everything transferred. I finally made it back today and from the start the lady had a very poor attitude. She was very rude about the whole situation. She had too go too the back too ask a few questions which is understandable, but she was talking shit about us (her customers) and the whole store can hear it. I have never been too a business that was so rude too their customers. I would NEVER go back too this place ever again. read more

I purchased my very first gun at bear mountain was extremely excited! Went to pick it up today and had the worst experience ever over a birth certificate. The woman whose name is Cheryl Klein was very disrespectful, she yelled obscenities harassed and threatened myself my husband and my 3 year old son. None of the other employees in the store at the time said anything to this woman and let it just gone on. As this was my first time ever purchasing a firearm this woman could have politely explained to me that my birth certificate would not work because there was a tear but in fact instead bullied and belittled me with statements like "you can't handle getting a new birth certificate" when I had explained to her I'm not sure when I'd be able to get a new one due to my work schedule so I asked her for a refund she then stood up out of her chair and started yelling and cussing and calling myself disrespectful and rude and a handful of other things as well as slamming her hands on counters and threatening to have us escorted out in handcuffs. We ask this woman several time to stop talking to us and we would handle business with the other employee working and receive our refund from him. I asked Cheryl and Martin both for the number to contact the owner they refused to give me that information Cheryl also refused to give me her name I had to look that up myself... Facebook can be a killer sometimes . The third man that came out of the back I asked him as to why no one was putting a stop to this woman's temper tantrum she then yelled at me and asked why I was speaking to her HUSBAND! He is not even an employee Just a gun smith at the store ‍... anyways my husband and I purchase firearms more than the average person mine would have been the third gun purchased there in 3 months.. they have forever lost a loyal customer. Worst customer service ever very unprofessional and Cheryl is the type of person that make republicans look bad. I'll pray for her soul. read more

went to this shop the other day for the first time to buy some .22 rounds and I have to say it's have a nice shop. Great service and good conservative people. Not as much in stock compared to second amendment, but the kind employees and service makes up for that. Prices are very fair, and the employees are very kind and helpful, and know what their talking about. Much better than second amendment in my opinion. Highly recommend read more

Staff is helpful and willing to find something you are looking for. If they can find it, they will order it for you. Store has a pretty good selection of not only guns but other accessories as well. The location is kind of hard so see at first, but it is off of weedpatch highway on the west side. read more

Just now, my husband called in to inquire if BMS had any 9mm ammunition in stock and was told they were out. This is understandable, as we have been given similar answers from most everywhere else in town. My husband, at a loss for where to go next, offhandedly (and lightheartedly) asked if the clerk (a woman whose name she did not give) had any idea where he may be able to find 9mm ammo. He just thought she might have an idea, as many times when you call shops and they are out of something, they have a possible idea of where you may find some. Had she said no, it would have been completely understandable as it seems to be sold out everywhere. However, the clerk rather rudely told my husband, "Well now how am I supposed to know that? I obviously have not been calling around everywhere asking if they have 9mm ammo and it's not my job to do your legwork." So rude, so unnecessary, I could not believe that she spoke to him that way when he had just asked her an honest question. You would think that in these times especially, their business would care more about treating customers right. read more

Stopped in at Bear Mountain Sports to look at the inventory, ended up making a purchase. Found both Gene, Cindy & Bill to be both very professional, knowledgable, honest, and friendly. Will be a returning customer. read more

The owner and employees were rude & disrespectful when I came in trying to do a transfer. Cussed me out and made me leave. I'll never be back in this place read more

Gene has made buying a gun very easy for me.Makes you feel comfortable to ask questions.

This service that this store provides is absolutely terrible. The employees are clueless on what information they should be able to provide. "I don't know" is a common answer to hear there. The return on taxidermy is multiple years. I would not recommend anyone do business with Bear Mountain Sports and its owner Gene Thome read more
