Trac,

I' ve noticed that gun prices and ammo usually go up very marginally twice a year in Ontario. Early in the new year and mid-summer.

Originally when I questioned the increase they said european manufacturers of firearms (tikka, sako, now owned by beretta) were realigning their product prices with american manufacturers who had already issued their increases. I think that was all BS!, what I truly believe is there' s been a hidden tax put on these products. Its probably a tiny percentage increase which causes a 50 cent increase in ammo and a 10 to 15 dollar increase in the firearm. Apply that twice a year over 3 to 5 years that I' ve noticed it and its big bucks real quick.

Shop around the deals are there, most smaller shops have no tax sales once a year and will negotiate on price.

We' ll see what happens when Bass Pro comes to Canada next year. Hopefully Cabelas will follow suit.
