RR i am sure that everyone has had different experience with them and alot of this has to do with the number of stores they have . it's hard to get all to conform to the corp. policy on treatment of employees.
But i have also learned to take opinions of workplaces with a big grain of salt. to the slug worker anywhere would be bad. may have been cause they wanted the slug to leave.
Now it also could be job. i didnt stock shelves or cashier ....i fixed aircraft. i was seperated from the stores and would say closer to the corporate folks. so yes i may have been treated much different. but i will say that i know the intent of wal mart on paper was to care for their folks.
But the fact is prepare oneself for a decent job and you have options .

Hey why not just buy your oil at joes auto parts for $5 bucks a qt and you chewing gum at the speedy mart for a $1 a pack for 7 sticks!
Stay local support those folks .......don't you take advantage of that $1.80@qt oil at wal mart !
It's your money!!!!!!

LMAO!

Hmmm lets see Sams descendants are worth 100 billion collectively. I guess they after the interests of the little guy now aren't they?. Remember when Sam Walton was Alive and he pushed the made in America thing. He would be rolling in his grave if he knew how his company has become Chinas whore.


I see no difference between the oil I buy at Walmart pricewise or Advance auto parts MOBIL 1 is priced within 20 cents a quart tops . If I am in the part of town and need oil I stop in Walmart else I stop in Advance. I am not going to spend 1 dollar in gas going across town and fight the crowds at Walmart. Lots of other things are priced the same..if dumbaXX woudln't assume Walmart is the cheapest and actually shop name brand and compare apple to apple at other stores they would really find out what a deal they are really getting at Wallys. Soark like i mentioned already I am done with this topic.

How many times you going to tell us your done And then post more of your anti Wal-Mart rhetoric. Face it you were wrong about the lesser quality of walmart guns and you tried to spin out of it.

I’m formerly known as Buckmaster7. My account was recently banned due to anti-religion posting.

Are you suggesting Remington sought after an easy on the pocket rifle? That was exactly my point. From your other posts, I got the impression that you thought it was Wally World’s fault:

Are you suggesting manufacturers can’t produce high quality rifles in large quantities? Hello! These are mass produced items. Remington can produce higher quality products (if they had a desire to), but that would cost them.

oldelkhunter, I see eye to eye with you, the Remington Model 710 is rubbish. However, Remington created the 710 to compete with Savage. Nevertheless, the Savage is still better and within the same price range. I don’t see why anyone would select the 710. Heck, Mossberg has their Model 100 ATR which is undeniably better and cheaper.

What magazine?

By the way, oldelkhunter, I’m fascinated in knowing why the Remington Model 700 was superior twenty years ago.

Speakin of Mobil 1..if you buy much of it you would know the 5 quart jugs are less than 20 bucks as opposed to 5 separate quarts beingclose to 25.....worth a few extra miles to me...

I'm on par with oldelkhunter. Walmart is hurting our economy by bringing good overseas which is directly effecting our trade dollars. There is a PBS Frontline article: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/walmart/

As I recall, 55% of the total shipments to California ports everyday are from China for Walmart stores. As for guns, Traditions Fausti hunter is a Walmart only gun. Other stores sell the hunter I model. I haven't handled the hunter I model but I hear it is superior to the Walmart only hunter. The hunter felt cheap in my hands. That is what I believe Walmart is doing, offering very cheap guns at cheap prices while also selling higher priced 'regular' models. It's an age old advertising ploy. Get the customer in first then sell them the better stuff.

No they don't keep them in stock because as I explained they are definately not a high volume item. They will order them however.

If Sako wants prestige back then they need to get their stainless steel barrels to stop exploding like a rat in a microwave oven.

Internet.

I don't own a Rem 710. In fact I stopped buying remingtons 20 years ago because their guns are c##p and have been for further back than Wal-Mart can be blamed. I'd rather have a cheap savage 110 than any standard rifle remington makes. And stop trying to put other people down just because you got your nuggies handed to you on a plate in this debate. I own many nice firearms from many many sources. And gun stores sell just as much low quality junk when it comes to firearms as wal-mart does.

Hell, no sporting goods stores within 150 miles of my house have closed because of a Wal-Mart in the first place. In fact they have increased in number. This big ominous Wal-Mart threat to the future of gun buying is just a "sky is falling" red herring.

It sure is. Proof that cheap doesn't have to mean c##p. You want to see something funny? Go to the range or your local gravel pit and watch a guy who just paid God knows how much customizing a remington model 700 or some guy who laid out 2000 or more on a top end Weatherby or Sako get circles shot around them by a guy with a 349 dollar accutrigger Savage 110. If you could frame the looks on their faces and hang it on the wall of your house you'ld laugh everytime you walked by.

Me either. Remingtons problem is not Wal-Mart. Their problem is that they are trying to do too many things now instead of just doing one thing and doing it well. Savage proves you can make a good inexpensive rifle. Remington is now making clothes, knifes, accessories etc, etc... Maybe if they went back to just Guns and Bullets and tightened up their quality control they could inprove their rep a little.
