I went ahead and closed the deal yesterday. This gun shop business sure is an education.
Nightforce is only about 50 miles down the road from the our shop. I get the scopes in used about every two months or so. The do not linger in the store. I hope to do as well with the new ones.
Wilson Combat is another upper end product we carry. They sit for a bit, but then somebody walks in and buys one. Even though I could turn over a dozen Jennings in the time it takes to sell one Wilson, I feel much better about being able to provide a quality item. So far, I have been able to avoid selling the lower end products.
The biggest obstacle with selling the good stuff is that I sell it for less than the lowest price I am allowed to advertise at. So a tip for all of you, make an offer on the upper end stuff. The dealer may be more than willing to deal, but he may also be hampered by the manufacture's lowest advertised price limit.
