I stopped by the local Gander Mountain at lunch this afternoon just to nose around. Very rarely will I buy anything there because their prices are usually astronomical. But every now and then there will be a good deal. Well, today was one of those days...They had a brand new Tikka T3 Hunter in 30-06 on the clearance rack, marked down from $599 to $349!!!
My first thought was "there's gotta be a catch". I looked it over top to bottom and it was perfect except for a tiny little mark on the forearm checkering. So I told the counter guy that I'd put it on layaway if he had everything with it (box, magazine, etc...). He came back and said he couldn't find the magazine, so I was about to pass when he said hang on, he'd go get a new one from the back So, $100 later and I have until Christmas Eve to pay the remaining $275 and pick it up. Not a bad day at all! I've heard great things about these rifles, so hopefully I can scrape up the cash to get it out soon (assuming I don't get killed by my better half for yet another gun purchase )
