I stopped in at Academy today. Talk about a rip off joint. I priced a 18.5" cyl bore barrel for my mossy 500. Academy had it priced @ $98.99.
I understand how retail works but a 33% mark up seems a bit steep to me. Mossberg has them for $74. And midway usa has them priced at $72.99 and on sale at $64. Heck even the 00 buck by Remington were more. I don't think I will ever worry about spending any money in there. I thought that store's like this were supposed to give you a better deal on items not mark them higher than I can get them on-line even including shipping.
I'll jump down off of my soap box now. :banghead:
