Hello fellow shooters,
I went to the gun show today in Lake Harmony Pa. While I don't mind the crowds or the $8.00 admission fee, I found the prices were too high all around. On ammo $15.00 for 100 rounds of 22lr. I don't think so. Everyone was asking the same price as if they all got together before the show and set the price. New guns priced higher than brick and mortar stores . Powder overpriced, primers at $38 dollars a box. I thought these shows were supposed to be about saving a few bucks or at least finding a nice selection of used rifles. Mostly new guns and lots of AR's with little interest. I did miss out on a Marlin model 60 for $80. Guy beat me too it by about 2 minuets. This was by the only dealer who had what I thought were reasonable prices. I am wondering if it's worth the time and gas to even go to these shows?
I am always hoping for a fair deal on some ammo or a used rifle in good condition but never see any.
Just my rant for today....
