I'd still rather spend my money, even if it is a bit more, buying form the local shop rather than at a place where you're just a warm body and a number. Everyone whine about Walmart pushing out the Mom & Pop stores yet ill happily go there to save a couple bucks. That kid selling you the gun at Walmart probably doesn't know the difference between a scope ring and wedding ring. Is he gonna help when you need it later on? Is your LGS gonna be happy to see that Walmart bought rifle come into his shop when you need help with it?
Nah, I'll spend the extra $ and support he local guy that knows my name.
