Well.........Yeah, I guess I have it good. I can walk in and buy a gun off the rack - no matter what it is - and walk out with it that day. I guess I'm spoiled.
I ordered it from Gander Mountain - local sporting goods place, like a small Cabela's - for $459. If they don't get it in stock, or I find a better price, I can always go somewhere else. Didn't have to put anything down. About the only better price around here is Wal-Mart, and I think I'd rather spend the money with at least a sporting goods place.
Another thing that makes me mad is how the gun shops here try to rob you. Rifle costs $396 at Walmart (if they can get it) and the gun shop downtown quoted me $570 for it, if they coudl get it. I know they have overhead, but I don't see how they can expect to even sell at those prices. They're looking for someone who hasn't done thier homework.
