I dealt with Bud's recently; no complaints. They're shipping is a little slow if you take advantage of the cheaper "cash price." I also would avoid the gun/scope combos. In addition to the warranty issue, it seems to me that some manufacturers move old inventory by wrapping it up in a package -- not necessarily a bad thing (sometimes the latest-greeatest isn't really that different-sometimes it is though), but something to be aware of so you can make an apples-to-apples comparison on how much you are really saving.
