I don't buy anything gun related locally. I can get better prices on optics, ammo, cleaning supplies, etc. at places on the net. And the dealer I use for guns, he just orders what ever I want. He charges $50 over his cost which is a great deal.

I refuse to pay a premium on things, just because they have it locally. One shop charges $16.99/50 for a box of S&B 357sig ammo. I buy it online and pay $12.45/50 for Speer Lawman ammo, and that includes shipping charges. A much better price for better ammo.

And not to mention that with my C&R license I get dealer pricing at Midway and Brownells. Can't beat that with a stick!
