I'm about to buy my first grinder. I'm in the 1-2 deer a year crowd. A LEM #8 is what I was looking at getting for about $279. If I could get the #12 for that price, then I would do that.

Who has the lowest price for these grinders?

Had my #12 for a few years and never saw it "bounce".

However, if'n yer feeding live deer into it said "bouncing" may occur.


Now that's funny. My #12 LEM has never bounced either. It does grind the hell out of deer and elk though...

My guess is they cover it. My money says the Cabelas name will be around for a long time. Would of, could of, should of. Not worth worrying about.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Minnesota chain mills fleet farm sells the lem 8 on sale for $259 and 12 for $359 to give you an idea. Lem foes seem to have discounts when you contact them, but the shipping can get you if you don't get the free shipping di
scount.
I think mills got bought by academy sports recently.

You'll probably have to bump up your budget a touch if you want a #12.

LEM has refurbs on their site (see my link above), and they are constantly having sales. Sign up for their emails. I bought my #12 from Gander Mountain. They were on sale, and Gander also had additional discounts so I got it for around $300 shipped. I've been happy with the Gander grinder.

He's an enabler.

Stay on the fire long enough and your gunsafe seems to fill up too.

Just tried to apply the code. 10% off but they still wanted to charge me almost $40 shipping for cheapest way.

I ordered the Cabelas Carnivore .75 hp grinder and it should be here by the end of next week.

Gander Mountain has the LEM # 8 big bite for $249 and free shipping. I had a coupon and was able to get it for $227 with free shipping. I hope to get to try it out soon.
