It just seems a strange place to come to for advice on buying wholesale from a manufacturer, from someone who posses to be in the industry? Should one not know his business?
Do distributors protect their dealers? I'm betting they do,they will protect their investments as well. That's how Kimber backs up their dealer network by supporting them,so they can support their customers.It's a good product with no need to be whored out on the street..or basement.
Price is not always the most important feature of a gun.

I wonder where our bankers get their advice from? or maybe my Doctor? strange..

Ringworn..I think I can figure out why gun shops may NOT want your business....

yeah , cause i dont back in the door w/ my panties around my ankles.

one day you may wake up and realize that not everyone has a local shop that is worth a chit, nor do we all have an income level that allows us buy regardless of the price.

So check your rolex, zebra boy. Times are tough for many of us. we cant just afford to pay mom and pop 20% over so they can have hot coffee and a current copy of African Hunter on the teak coffee tables when we come to warm our AMEX.

The man who owns the shop i do my buisness in lives accross the street. He sells dogfood and cooks egg and bologna sandwichs in the back to make ends meet.

He probably hasnt seen 17K bucks a year much less an initial order.

Your statements make you appear to be a fence sitter,complain of prices and then how to get the cheapest price,but yet promote Steyr...?
Is that only because of a "deal" If you have a dealer so bad,why even return?
But.that's not what this is all about... It about someone back-dooring a deal on a good product,trying to enlist an entronage of others in muffing the system...Sounds the same as the 1% not paying their share of taxes...such a hypercritic

what does steyr have to do with it. I paid $625 for my last one. Thats the problem with rich boy snobs. They think that VALUE equates to spending a lot of money.
If I were buying a Blaser i still want a good deal.
Just because i want value doesnt make me cheap.

whats wrong? You worried about some country boy shooting a steyr?
what you want is everyone to buy accoriding to thier income level?
I shouldnt buy Steyr becasue I'm not rich? I should just buy savage or howa and let the upper crust shoot the steyrs and blasers, huh?

Even us poor country boys know how to have a good time. Catchin trout with bread dough. to cheap to buy bait. Guess since I dont fly fish i am not really a trout fisherman, huh?
Hey whats that? Nah, Must be a fake. Noone would wear one of those fishing.
You just dont get it. The pride of ownership in quality things doesnt negate one as thrifty.

There's the rub.. I drive a Chevy truck, so does my wife?
That has NOTHING to do with my statement of conducting business in a supportive,productive and profitable manner for all parties concerned.
RETAIL works by someone taking a chance of investing in a future,building a brick foundition,advertizing,hiring employees,PAYING them as much as possible,training,insurance,ATF or a governing body and selling their product at A PROFIT!
Back door deals cut the sap...

PEOPLE get thru life by one,maybe two of three ways...
Hard Labor, being smart ... or hand me down(entitlement)
I choose the first two, fifty plus years ago.

ringworm, thanks for your input, but I decided to pass on the Kimber. I am headed over to my local pawn shop to see if they have any Krieghoff double rifles for sale. I really want to shoot a horse with stripes.

To do or not,to "really want to" doesn't matter much....
See ya, Cheapo...
I'm out polishing the Rolls,gave the butler the week off,waiting on the maid to finish dusting the Trophy room and the party is on....
You guys crack me up...Happy Thanksgiving

[quote=reelman The actual dealers are the ones keeping the companies and the distributors in business[/quote]

And here I thought it was the firearms purchaser that kept the companies going.

No matter where it is purchased, from a FFL or Basspro, someone gets the money and the person who provides the best product/service is the one that should be rewarded. Most of the firearms that I possess have not been purchased from a traditional brick and mortar and most importantly I would not own them otherwise. Either they were not stocked beside the Rem 740 with see throughs or they were marked up double.

Some of the deals' rediculous markups have done more for guncontrol than Sarah Brady.

But then Adam Smith has been long dead as well as the concept of the free market.

So you are OK with someone cutting into the business in which you work,which WILL affect how you are paid and earn a living?

I travel alot and see more and more business going under everyday all over this country and a lot of people out of work.So, you are OK with that?
The people who cut the back-door deals are the ones causing the Car dealer,gun dealers or any other business to raise prices,cut jobs and transform into a self-survival mode.How long do think this will last?......
think small,be small?

Some people work hard for their money and feel that it is their right to spend how and where they want..............I am one of those people.

Some dealers around me are idiots..........if my money is better spent on an internet transaction then so be it!!!
