I purchase a Dickinson pump shotgun from RKGuns checked it out in the store to see no problems but when I got it home and tried to load it, it would not cycle ammo and kept jamming after several attempts I contacted rural king, and they told me after you leave the store they will not take it back I will have to go through the manufacturer. What a joke DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY
User's recommendation: DO NOT BUY FROM RK GUNS.

Unhappy
To get a Harvest card is like buying a house with mortgage. They want 2 years tax returns and 2 months bank statements for a lousy $1000 card at 18%? My credit score alone should have been good enough at any other merchant. I feel harassed by the rejections of all the files I sent to complete my application. Redstone Federal Credit approved my card pending my submission.
User's recommendation: This is preditory seek credit somewhere else.

While shopping in your Owensboro store a dog, accompanied by its owner, lifted his leg and peed on the merchandise. This is disgusting. Dogs should not be allowed in the store unless they are service type.
User's recommendation: leave your dogs in the car/truck.

Stocking
Why do they have stocking crews working during the day time? I would like to know that product has been put out before the store has opened.
User's recommendation: Stock at night. I like to know everything is out when I show up in the morning.

Danger, life at risk (really)
Happen to be near a RK, decided to stop by. First noticed couple folks not wearing masks as required by law (for a reason). Thought okay a few, we'll stay away from them, then plenty of others w/o masks! This made us very uncomfortable. It's like the store didn't do anything about this in our pandemic times. The store allows people to bring in their dogs. Assumed leashed? Nope. Talking to someone with a great looking leashed mutt, moments later down aisle a pit bull** loose?? Yes loose! Starts biting the other dog, the two owners argue. **I know, so save it. It's the dog owners not the breed. After the dog indecent, decided to bail while it's safe. Dropped the merchandise and left.
User's recommendation: NOPE.

Selling bad rabbits too customers and telling other people who make a living selling rabbits they are full and can't except anymore instead of the truth. They had parasites.
I was calling rural king for sever weeks trying to sell my rabbits before they got too big and I couldn't afford to feed them anymore. I was told the same thing week after week. There is no open cages. No open cages when they had no cages period because of the parasites they let in off some dirty rabbits they didn't check. Finally I had enough and went to the store and stood where the rabbits go and the cages were gone and turkey fryers were put in place of them to fill in the gap. Even as I'm standing there at the turkey fryers they still lie to me. I called corporate and it was on but they haven't done a damn thing yet but leave my family broke for a month.
User's recommendation: Don't buy from here unless they remedy the situation.

I was in Rural King on 19 November, 2020 with a friend, and we walked in to shop for a Marine battery, and a few other small items. We both walked back to where the batteries were located when both of us were surrounded by 4 of the Rural King employees. My friend and I...

We purchased a hay ring on 10/3/20 for our cattle and 2 welds broke on it making it defective and it broke in several places. We took the hay ring to the store we purchased #123 in Bristol Virginia to make an exchange. The manager Big Jon was more interested in showing...

Pretty sad - the manager was basically telling you that they sold you scrap metal and didn't care. If their management stays that bad, TSC will put them out of business as soon as the "new rural king" effect wears off. They should also enforce a mask policy on their own employees - it aggravates me when customers are stupid enough to walk around without masks but we were in there yesterday and they have employees walking around with masks dangling on their necks.

Verified ReviewerPurchased Tractor with issues
I purchased rk37sc with bucket and grapple attachments. Soon after starting to operate the tractor the opening and closing of the grapple failed. I took the tractor back to the store in Dothan AL for 50 hr service so I explained to Jeff the issue with the grapple. He checked it out and stated the wiring harness was bad. He told me that he would order a replacement and should receive it the next week. It has been a month and haven't heard a word. I have tried to text and call Jeff and receive no response. So now I have a $30,000 tractor that I can't use. Also the joystick hits the rail on inside of the cab door. Jeff said the valve housing needed to be replaced.
User's recommendation: Have someone dedicated to tractor issues.

Lack of merchandise
This company is so weak. Never has anything in stock and forget about any deals cause those are REALLY never in stock. All they do is talk the talk but no way can they walk the walk cause they dont have absolutely nothing to offer. Again, RK Guns is the weakest company I have aver seen. Not even sure how they are in business being that they never have anything to sell. Just pictures. Weak weak weak.
User's recommendation: Look elsewhere unless you want to wait for nothing.

I am a 30% disabled Vietnam two tour veteran. While I greatly appreciate a discount when making purchases, in no way to I expect this.
Serving my country was considered a privilege. While I did not appreciate my second tour in country, I still served my country with pride. To expect and or demand a discount from any retailer, is an embarrassment to all of us.
One thing to keep in mind is it is the tax dollars merchants pay that keeps our VA health care funded. That of itself, is a huge load to carry and I greatly appreciate that as well.
