Walmart Rifles

[Werewolf]

OKay...
So yesterday I was in Walmart buying two .40 S&W 100 round value packs (sorry guys - but $29 plus tax for 200 cartridges just can't be beat) and took a look at the rifles they had on hand.

To my surprise they had a Winchester M70 chambered in WSM .270, synthetic stock, blued barrel and scoped (don't know the brand) all for $389. Geeez - if I had a place to shoot the darn thing (I'm into pistol target shooting, IPSC and CAS but want to get into long range rifle).

I'd have bought it on the spot except at that price I had to wonder what was wrong with it? The scope looked to be at least one in the $75 - $125 range and just a plain ole M70 Black Shadow without scope has an MSRP of $523 and sells for $405 normally at the gun store I've bought all my weapons at.

So how the heck can Wally Wolrld sell them so cheap and are they any different from a real Model 70?

They buy so many they get bulk deals. Think of how many Wal- Marts there are nationwide, all buying from the factory. A dealer once told mr that they sell Mossbergs cheaper than he can get them for.

Some people will tell you that they sell factory seconds. If that is true, which I don't believe It's only because of substandard furniture.

Man at that price I would have been on that like a duck on a junebug.

yes, I have checked them out too!

Interesting to not..they sell 243's, 270's, 7m/m, 30-06...no 308's, or .223's(that I have seen). My mistake,I remember a Mini 14 there.
They have a nice looking Beretta shotgun...in 20 gauge.
All reasonable prices and all can be bought on 60 day layaway, I believe.
Definately get you thinking about longguns when you go in there for you value pack purchases!!
