First of all the Mfg's aren't going to send rejects to walmart. How ridicules. LIke remington is going to send all their crappy Corelokts to walmart and savage all their junk guns as well. Sorry, but i will buy where i get a good fair price. I once found a Win m70 for $999 at a gun shop. Loved the gun, but found it for $799 at a big box store. Tell me why i would pay $200 difference just so i can say i bought at a gun store? i can probably deal with $20-$30 more but this is just plain wrong.
Either way, once again, you got a good deal. I have a couple of savages now, each shoots great and guess what? one came from walmart. My latest from Cabelas.
