You dont see Sakos sold at a Walmart do you yet?
No, because they wouldn't sell 2 a year at most of their stores. As I stated before Wal-Mart kinda gears itself toward average folks and most average folks don't spend 1200 dollars on a rifle. But I can promise you this, Sako would be tickled s###less if Wal-Mart would keep their guns stocked on the shelf at their stores. And as I stated before, Wal-Mart can order you a Sako, Browning, Tikka or virtually anything else for half down up front and the other half on arrival.
Last gun I bought new was purchased at a local gunstore where the clerks know what a barrel,bolt and a stock is.
Glad thats the case at your local gun store. Most of the employees at the ones in my area don't know any more than the Wal-Mart people do. And most of the gun stores try to push you towards what they have in stock or what they want to sell. Two out of the three in my area couldn't be bothered to even order me a Tikka T-3. Instead they started telling me how Tikka's weren't any good and tried to show me something they already had. I hate that. I know what I want and I don't like being treated that way. The Wal-Mart employees don't care what I buy or order. They just say "yes sir, and sell me what I ask for"
It was a weatherby vanguard and it cost 365 in a 300 wsm ..lprice that out at Walmart. Before that it was a Remington 700 SS BDL for 575 price that out at Walmart.
I can order either at Wal-Mart. Whats your point?
Thanks to them we have the 710.
Oh please. Now it's Wal-Marts fault anytime a gun company produces a gun model thats a cheap POS. I'm 39 years old and trust me, cheap crappy guns have been around way longer than Wal-Mart.
Thanks to them we have the 710. You don't think any self respecting gun store would handle that now do you?
What! There's at least 5 on the rack of every gun store in this state.
I also suggest you take a course in reading comprehension and then enroll at your local college and take a lot of business courses and then maybe you'll be enlightened
I was in no way insulting to you in my posts and yet here you go questioning my IQ. You know someone has lost a debate when they resort to this. You are a little man with a little mind.
