I've gotten the "Wal-Mart has this gun for sale cheaper than us because the manufacturer makes a cheaper version of the gun sold exclusively through Wal-Mart" line a couple of times. Once when I was looking to buy a Remington 700 Sendero...not likely buddy but nice try.
There IS truth in the Wal-Mart statement. I worked for a Wal-Mart supplier and I can tell you that the products made specifically for them are made to Wal-Marts specs and Price is a part of that. They demand a certain price per item and you either meet that price or you don't sell to WM. That forces cheaper materials and designs in these items that are WM only. Having said that, I can't speak for ALL WM suppliers but I have spoken to enough to know that this is Wal-Mart's standard practice.
sks are so inaccurate...I told the guy...arent you talking about a mini 14!!!
I have heard a rumor that they made a (one, singular, less than two) [strike]good[/strike] accurate mini.I'll put my Mini 14 up against the best SKS.
The same guy also told me i couldnt shoot steel plates at 200 yds with a rifle because of ricochets. Again i tried to explain that if the plate is angled down, with SP bullets, at that distance it wouldn't happen, i do it all the time on other ranges...again, no go.
I suppressed my 17hmr and am very pleased in the new quieter noise."A silencer will not work on a 17 hmr because it is supersonic." I guess he thought a 20-30 decibel reduction (or 100-1000 times) was not effective when the tiny sonic boom was not reduced.
Last Monday at the Camp Allen Exchange, overheard the counter kid telling a Marine Gunny about VA CHL laws, when a Navy warrant leaned over and said you could open carry, long as you didn't have a magazine in. Counter kid quickly chimed in yup, ya gotta watch them cops too, they're real tough. I hope this isn't what is being taught in CHL classes now
Biggest Lie???? "You don't want that. Let me show you what you want."
Let me guess. Was it that little shop on the west side of rt. 17?Last Monday at the Camp Allen Exchange, overheard the counter kid telling a Marine Gunny about VA CHL laws, when a Navy warrant leaned over and said you could open carry, long as you didn't have a magazine in. Counter kid quickly chimed in yup, ya gotta watch them cops too, they're real tough. I hope this isn't what is being taught in CHL classes now.
I use that statement all the time. I tell my wife ,at least monthly, this is the only gun I'll need from now on."This is the only gun you will ever need!" LOL
