Price check in Aisle four. (Another Wallyworld clearance.)
« on: March 01, 2005, 09:25:22 AM »
Last fall Wallmart was clearance sale pricing old stock. Thanks to comments on this board I went right on down to my local store and picked up a .22-250 Remington synthetic ADL for $250. I had no use for it and got $300 for it a week later.
Well I have been watching the gun rack there like a hawk ever since, with no luck. But today I spied a Winchester Model 70 synthetic in .300 Win Mag with a Simmonds 3x9 scope mounted on it. Price was marked down to $300.
I'm not married, and had my credit card on me. Guess what followed me home.

I guess I'd be well served by not going to Wally world for the next few weeks!  Great price on a good gun!

You got a great deal on the gun.  
Now just throw away the scope. :)

I'll probably put the scope on my kid's .22. And I don't really need the rifle! Oh well, it's good trading stock if anything.

Gotta agree with Zachary on the scope reccommendation....I have no use for Trashco or Simmons scopes on any rifle.

Was that 300 Win Mag model 70 the Classic model with controlled round feed or is it a push feed ?

Always use MUCH more gun than the minimum required to do the job.

glock29, it's a push feed. Doubt I'll keep it. I shouldn't have any trouble getting my money back out of it, if I come across something I need.

Got my tax returns a couple of weeks ago, way less than I had anticipated. Did a little horse trading and wound up making $115 on a gun, so I had about $250 to spend on another rifle, H&R was to fill the bill. Had a really busy week at work and wasn't able to get down to the local Wally until yesterday and by then I had pretty much decided to just hang on the $$$ and maybe re-stock my 30-06 Vanguard that I bought from them during the close-out sale last year ($250). Ok so I'm in there for a can of paint and figured I would just go on back and take long-shot  :roll: especially after reading this post on Friday, my interst was peaked. I get to the SG dept. and ask if there just might be one of the Vanguards left at that close-out price. Nope, there was, but one of the clerks there bought it on Friday night..........for $150!! Ok so I'm sick now, I ask the guy if he would just go check and see, sure, so he takes off and I'm left standing there. About a minute passes and here comes this other clerk that had bought the gun so I ask if he's shot it yet and he says no, well before I could stop myself I had made a deal with him for $225. I know......he made a good chunk......but I was about to drop $250 on something anyway and now I'm the proud owner of another Weatherby Vanguard, brand new and unfired, this time in .270 Win. Pretty happy about this deal :D  :D  :D
