I'm planning on buying three more firearms before we move in the next few weeks. I'm taking a job that pays alot less than I'm making and so is my wife. Money isn't everything and we've decided we'd rather spend the rest of our lives in beautiful country.
Im pretty much outfitted with all the toys I need but I want to buy another back up rifle, cheap over and under and rimfire. I went to local Sportsman's and they are out of what I'm looking for and don't even carry the 555.
I travel in the Williston areas within 3 hours north, south, east and west of there on a regular basis. Actually got a lot of work going on around Fairview and Sidney. If anybody reading this is a small time FFL or owns a tiny shop I'd like to give you my business aslong as you don't try to retire on transaction with inflated price tags.
Might as well help an individual out and besides I'm a little irratated with three recent shortcomings at Williston's Sportsman's Warehouse.
What I want: TIKKA T3 stainless super lite in 260 or a Howa Alpine. Maybe both at some point but preferred the Tikka now. Maybe another Swede, but this time in stainless. Having owned three different Tikkas in different cartridges I love them, but their bluing is the only thing I dislike. My 243 and swede started rusting first season I bought them and I'm a pretty anal shoot and clean same day kind of guy. None of my other firearms since I was a kid have ever rusted. I love the stainless t3 lite 7mm 08
Next one is a CZ 455 17 HMR
Third, Savage 555 20 gauge I just bought the 12 gauge version and love it.
I'd like to order all three same time and give you half the money up front and other half when they come in. If any of you western montucky fellas have a local dude in mind let me know. I'm in Fairview and Sidney areas every week along with Watford city area as well.
Thanks
Tight chains.

Cabelas has the Tikka T3 Super Light stainless models on sale this week. Probably as cheap as you will find one anywhere.

Call or email Whittaker's gun shop and ask for Darrik or Eric. If they don't have it in stock they will find it for you. My guess is they'll be way more competitive in price than Cabela's or Sportsman's Warehouse. $9.99 flat rate shipping on long guns plus what ever transfer fees you have to pay. My transfer agent is $35 for the first and $10 each additional. Which I'm betting will come out cheaper than the sales taxes you'll have to pay.

Soon to be a proud owner of a .308 Superlite. Got one on the way from a member here. I've never owned a 308; had all its siblings at one time, but never the parent cartridge. Might have the CZ from another member as well.

Seems like it was either $799 or $850 for the stainless fluted camo Super Lite. I can't remember.

Minot also has Sportsman's Loft. It's kind of tucked away on a frontage road near the intersection of Highways 2 and 83. Is Scenic Sports still in Williston?
Bismarck has Runnings, and another Scheels store.
Hazen has 4J's Gun Pro shop, my backyard neighbor for 30 years.
