RE: walmart guns
Again one scope is not a compaison...I know what I pay dealer cast for guns...I know what Walmart sells to the public and at what cost. They sell to the public for what I get many guns for from RSR etc.
The biggest difference...Walmart doesn't sell handguns, Walmart doesn't sell NFA, Walmart doesn't sell the big bad black guns.
Now if price is your issue...Walmart is good because more than likely if all you are shopping for is price...then I proabably don't want you as a customer anyway.
I think walmart is an excellent alternative for people who have a budget or know exactly what they want.
Again Shooting Industry magazine list Walmart as the largets retail gun dealer in the US...so they actually help everyone by driving volumes.
As for cabella's unless you have one by you...good luck getting your gun.
