I buy from a private guy, he charges 10% over but handles any concerns after the sale

People that know, guys that know

I aint claiming to coupon shopper guy here

But as infrequent as I stop in, I see the same guns for sale

They ain’t moving and ain’t nobody there

Well, that ain’t good is all I know

I saw some of the keystone crickett rifles at Academy for $169 the other day. It’s still a $125 gun at most Wal-Marts. I don’t know.

I over paid for the girls cricket rifles from a pawn shop but at least I was able to pick out a stock besides pink or tan plastic. We have three of the little crickett .22’s, two of the pink laminates and one of the black “glass-filled nylon” (plastic? Lol) with a higher comb on it. My daughters really enjoy them.

My budget is kind of tight but I quit hunting for the very best deal, instead I look for exactly what I want. If I can’t afford it I will wait until I can.

You actually save a lot of money waiting for exactly what you want because you don’t waste it on crap that falls short, and then lose money in the sale, lol.

Agree. I quit buying cheap crap some years back because disappointment sucks. I buy the good stuff or do without. I work too hard for my money to give myself headaches.

Up until 2018, Cabela's used to regularly sell $100 gift cards for $80. I bought more than $3000 worth of those discounted gift cards. Those made for incredible deals at Cabela's. Once the merger was complete, those deals ended. But I got some incredible deals at Cabela's using those GCs. Bought my son a CZ Teal O/U 20 gauge that was on sale for $500, less the 20% made it $400. When the Sako Finnlight II came out, Cabela's was closing out the original Finnlight for $1500; less the 20% made my .270 Win only $1200.

He77 YES

Yeah
It's gradually getting worse. Less and less hunting, fishing, and camping in all the chain stores.
I used to try to patronize the mom and pop stores for that very reason, but the mom and pops
all went away years back.
The mesquite Dicks dropped all their pretense and completely did away with all their hunting
and fishing gear. But. . . . . If you want a designer water bottle or some chartreuse spandex
shorts, they've got you covered.

So . . . What's everybody gonna do when buying outdoor sports gear on the internet is
no more, and the socialists do away with gun shows?

I’ve actually switched to a Scheels credit card. The statues outside of Scheels, make me feel good about spending my money there. Not to mention the Easter Email I got saying “He has risen”

Kind of hard not to get behind Scheels

Sounds like we need a Gasbuddy app for firearms.
