heres is your answer for wal mart guns. i work there
i work at wal-mart in the sporting goods dept.. store 1192.. no the guns aren't low quality.. wal mart buys them cheaper than the dealer can b/c they buy in bulk.. they sell them AT COST.. the theory behind this is.. women are 70% of the business.. if wal mart can sell the guns at a very low price, the husband can buy them AT WAL MART.. if the husband can find a good deal on the guns, then the woman stays happy with wal mart and KEEPS SHOPPING.. there u go.. a myth is busted..

RE: heres is your answer for wal mart guns. i work there
I have to admitt I'm sold on Wally World. Besides having a family of four, and being the main bread winner of the home (the wife don't work to take care of our two little ones). Wallmart is one of the few places that when it comes down to her restocking the house I give her the Bank Card and say get what ever you want. Just kidding however just a few weeks ago we were shopping at Wally World and I took my stroll through the sporting goods department to check out whats on sale left over from deer season. I spoted a Fixed Blade "Buck" Knife that cabelas sells for around $60, for $29.99. Well I thought it was a good deal so I told the clerk at the counter I'll take it, he explains to me "it's on sale because it has no box it was a display". I then checked it out and looked at the blade and verifyed everything was just like new and never been used so I gave him the ok to ring it up. The clerk rang it up and it came up $4.98!! I made him check it again because I believe everyone should get a second chance to correct a mistake, and sure enough it rang up again at $ 4.98. I bought that Knife and will continue to shop at wallmart because of the prices, true their customer service is not always to be desired however I consider myself a smart buyer because I know a deal when I see one, when it comes down to hunting fishing, and camping thats for darn sure.

yes I used to work at wally world too, (#1867) and I do remember being able to access pricing of items, and found that wal mart does strategically price certain items to make minimal (sometimes zero or negative profit) on certain items just to get a certain demographic into the store. Of course some items carried a 150% mark up too!! Balancing the equation out.

If I just can't find it anywhere else, I'll force myself to shop at Walmart. Otherwise, I avoid em'. I've never bought any kind of firearm, scope or anything like that from them. I don't enjoy going to Walmart at all.
