i have bought my last four guns at walmart for at least $50 dollars less than anywhere else. i have never had a problem with the staff so far. just don;t put them in layaway. your just asking for trouble there. they have to call the calvary and ten managers to assist in the sale. only fault i have.

I don't know how I feel about buying guns at Wal-Mart. Yeah you save a few bucks but you weaken the firearm economy. If more people start doing this then the only place you will be able to buy guns will be Wal-Mart and you will have to deal with "Barbie" the uneducated when you buy and you will have to buy what they carry.

Just my .02.

To buy at walmart... hmm

I supose that if money is tight, wait, if money is tight what are you doing buying a new gun? How about a used gun? For the same price as wallyworld you should be able to pick up a nice used gun with a scope & sling, or a better rifle slightly used. Check out the shops that are in Ritzy areas. I picked up an T/C Encore 209x50 last year for $400 with a T/C scope on it. And I knew the guy that traded it in, he purchased a new one in stainless for an Alaska hunt.

Go to a gun shop, spend some time with the guys that live and breath RemOil. It's more fun and consider the $40 you spend extra entertainment money. Heck tell them if they throw in a bore snake for the rifle it will seal the deal.

For all the guys that say they can't afford it I say, every month give up 1 vice that you enjoy. For me it would be my morning Mocha at the coffee hut. $3.50 x 5 = 17.5 per week x 52 weeks $910 / year = new rifle, scope, case, and ammo.

Some guys I know could stay home 1 night per month and save $50!!

I just can't bring myself to buy stuff at Wally world if I can possibly help it.
