They remind me of giant snails as they scoot around

What gets me is the lardasses that leave those power buggies outside. They werent outside initially for them to climb onto.

I joined the crowd with a synthetic Vanguard in .30-06 for $249.

Took about 10 minutes to check out.

lolo,......"giant snails"

That got me tickled.

I don't think they buy chit.

They just go to Walmart and ride around 'till the battery goes dead,..then waddle off to the car and drive home.

Yes, it was, you just must have some real winners behind the counter at the Walmart you went to. I got some from 2 different Walmarts in TN, at $249 for the Vanguards, and $199 for a Savage.

Jack em up and sell them to the fools on TnDeer

Two different guns than that are all we scanned (a mini and a walnut vanguard) and they did come up less than marked but not 349 and 399.i didn’t bother to check anymore because they cold not sell a gun anyway supposedly.

Somewhat informed young man today told me it's specific to location on what is stocked and what is clearanced. The Weatherby clearance started a month ago supposedly at $349. Another hunert off and then stuff went quick.

Have 243, trade for 308 in Montana....

checked in flagstaff, luckily (for me) they were out of the synthetic .308

not a big weatherby guy, but for $250, love to have a weatherby truck gun!

Just picked up a synthetic 243 for $249. If nothing else, it will be for my first grandson I hope to get some day. Passed on the wood stock 243 as I already have a 6mm so don''t really need a 243. They were out of the 308's and 30-06's or else I would have picked up one of those. Thanks to the original poster for bring this to my attention and causing another "what do you need another gun for" fight with the wife.

Screaminweasil,
I am jealous of your wood.

Crap, can not believe i just typed that.

The 243 I brought home last night is pretty plain, and the one still at the store waiting on approval from Oregon State Police is also plain, and actually has dents in the finish above and in front of the trigger from getting bumped around in the display case. But at the price I grabbed it anyway.

If it will shoot anything like the one I brought home last night, they will be the best gun dollars I ever spent.

You should have seen the counter guy acting like they weren’t on sale. He said someone would have told him. Haha

That’s about how my investigation went. I drug my ass to Walmart to see about 50% off guns. Fuggin background check machine was broken, but the two guns we scanned did ring up about a 1/3 less than regular marked price.

Probably playing coy so he can save it for friends/family

Which walmart was this?

Sounds like the aholes in Altoona need a cleanup in aisle 3.

Ask them if they have updated their prices on their hand held scanner. They have to update at least once per day.

I tried to get a Rem 700 for $189, dude replied that it ain't happening!

That said, I am very happy with the Vanguard Select's feel, fit, finish - totally stole it. Wish I could find a 308.

Thanks Paul! Heck, I didn't even know that I needed another rifle, but, apparently I did!

Man the last thing I need is another rifle, but those Vanguards are tempting. I miss the one I traded away 25 years ago.

Don't know how it is around the rest of the country but at our nearest Walmart stores I pretty well knew from past experience that most likely it would be an exercise in futility not to mention wasted gas and time to go chasing around from store to store after the first few hours from the time these sales first start because odds would be slim to none at finding any of the more desirable final closeout priced items still in stock due in a large part to store associate tip-offs passed on early to a select few.

Youngest granddaughter had her 6th birthday party at Chucky Cheese late yesterday, so I left home early enough to stop and see what Walmart had left. Stopped at one in Kentucky, and another in Tennessee. Both still had some Weatherby's, both wood and synthetic stocked for $249, and the Tennessee store still had a Ruger Ranch for $399. I asked about the Remington 700's, but both stores said that they weren't marked down. However, I'm going to watch for the next few days, just in case.

The way it was explained to me, was that Walmart is in the process of restocking their firearm inventory, getting ready for the layaway season, which starts August 31. I guess they're getting rid of stuff that isn't selling to their liking, or else has been in inventory too long. As to the gun companies making guns exclusively for Walmart, the 10-22 I bought has a different stock, and came with a sling attached, something that I've never seen in a LGS. Not saying it was a Walmart special, just saying it doesn't look exactly like the ones I've seen elsewhere.

I know that there are a lot of posters on here who don't like Walmart, but when they have a sale, they have a sale. I have bought Remington 700's for less than $200, and bought a couple of AR's when they ran a clearance on them at 50% off. They shot just as good as anything I would have paid retail price for at a LGS.
