The big box stores (Walmart, etc.) order from the same wholesalers as the local gun shops, but with perhaps different pricing.
Sometimes the big stores have special package deals with rings, bases, and scope that are not sold in the local shops. Other than the package deals the product is the same. A Remington 700 sold by Walmart, Dicks, Cabelas, Bass Pro, or the local shop is the same.
