I must be sort of lucky; most of the weekday employees here seem to know at least the brands and types they carry of major calibers (.22lr, .22wmr, 30-06, 12ga, .38Spl, .357Mag, 9mm, and the only non-major I buy is .243...except 7.62x54R, and I haven't even bothered to ask for that at WallyWorld) but the prices aren't nearly as impressive as what I find on here.htxred wrote:me: blazer .40 sw

OTOH, in this town, there are a lot of merchants that don't mark stocked items up - they'll wait until they order it at higher cost and the new stock gets the new price. That can lead to some great deals if you manage to spot the dusty old box at the back of the shelf. Heck, I found some copper tubing the other day marked at about three-quarters of its scrap value. Unfortunately it was only one box.
