Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Clearance Guns at Academy

Just a heads up, was at Academy here in Birmingham yesterday and they had some of their guns marked down. From what I understand it is just some odd and end guns that they are clearing out. I picked up a Stevens 200 in .223 for $199. I also saw a 700 SPS .223 for $288 I checked out the other locations in town and they all had some guns on clearance but all were different so your results may vary but may be worth checking out.

wow, i would be all over that remington

I probably should have got it instead of the Stevens for $199, but I have several Rem 700s and have never owned a Savage/Stevens and wanted to see why everyone loves these ugly guns so much.

Thanks. My first Stevens cost $199 and it has been a great hunting rifle. Ugly, but effective.

stumpy

Will have check our location. That's a steal. Thanks for the heads up notice.

Just checked my local Academy and the only calibers they
have left in the 700SPS are 30-06, 7RM, and 22-250.

The only location I know of is Augusta Ga where are some others?

Are all the SPS clearance at under $300?!?

Last year here they put some Weatherby Vanguards on sale for $299. I picked one up.

Sadly, the store I checked didn't have any racehorse deals like the $288 SPS.

They did have synthetic stocked ADLs marked down to $349 though. Tempting, but I passed. Had they had a 26" 7mmRM I might have jumped.

Same thing here. They did have some 7-08s, which they don't normally have when they run these deals.

I just stopped by an Academy here in San Antonio. They had a Marlin in blued/synthetic 30-06 for $288. That would be a great deal for someone looking to get into rifle hunting.

Same deal in the Houston area - synthetic ADL's are $349.

Well, I see there's at least one advantage to living in the South now

There was two stores in the Birmingham area that had the sps's for $288. One was in Trussville and had a 223 and 243......had grin. The other had more guns but I don't know which store that was?

For that price I'da picked up a couple of .223's...

Wanted two 223 but wound up with a 223 and 243. Well my uncle wants the 243 so all I wound up with is a 223. Bout all I've got the money for at this time anyway?

Headed out first thing tomorrow to see what my local store has, thanks for the heads up.

FWIW, in Longview Tx a few weeks back, a 708 Stevens, 199 IIRC....hard to pass up.....but I did.

I got a Stevens 200 in .270 for the $199 price to use as a loaner/foul weather rifle.
