RE: walmart guns
If you know what you want, are not worried about them not knowing what a 4473 is, and want to buy a gun as clost to dealer cost as possible...buy at Walmart.

RE: walmart guns
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.

RE: walmart guns
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.
