I went back to Walmart yesterday evening just to see what was left. I ended up bringing home another one of the $249 Vanguards, this one in 270. I figure that somebody will need a deer rifle and I'll have a couple of them for sale.
I also snagged a Ruger 10-22 for $124. It's a synthetic stocked one, that came with a sling and scope base. That's one I'll probably keep, just wish it had been a takedown model.
They still had a Vanguard in 243, and I believe in 308, in addition to the woo stocked ones at $349. The also had some other guns left that were marked way down, but nothing I was interested in.
My biggest complaint is the length of time it takes to check out. Part of it I understand is store policy, but a lot of it is very aggravating.

Just got home with my Vanguard in 243. Really pretty. Great deal even if I had to go to 3 WM's to find it. They had a Savage Axis Camo in 6.5 Creedmore but it was not marked down so it stayed there.
So I went to still another WM and brought the Axis 6.5 home....these people marked it down some. Enough to make me try it.
Wife thinks I'm nuts....2 guns in one day. Hey, if one of t hem had had a Mini 14, well it would have been 3!

Is anyone bored enough to tally up the amount of money we have blown on the sale?

Is anyone bored enough to tally up the amount of money we have blown saved on the sale? It was a half off sale. We can get both answers with the same computation.

Yes!!!! Thanks to the man who started this thread. I ended up buying one Synthetic Vanguard in 308 and one in 243. I also ended up with a nice 243 Deluxe wood stock, that shoots well under MOA with a thrown together reload for an old model 7 that I used to have. Here is the .243, the only one left in stock............... I also got two wood stocked .270 Longmire rifles.............. Both have very nice wood, one a very distinct straight grain and one with quite a bit of violin back. Here is the .270 I picked up this morning at the local Walmart. Can't beat them for $349 I will say, having never owned a weatherby vanguard or Howa............I'm thoroughly impressed. The triggers on these things are legit and everything about them stomps a Remmy in the dirt. Trigger pull on the .243 (the only one I've tested so far) was a crisp 2.5lbs from the factory, and breaks like ICE. Crazy unbelievable pricing on these. The only guns my local has left are a sythetic 06' and a wood stocked 06'. Thanks again!!

It took me about an hour to check out. Some of that is because as I was finishing the sale on the first one the Manager found a second one in the back and I said I want that too. And I had to fill out the 4473 three times because the 2nd time I checked yes to being addicted to marijuana.

I watched with my own eyes the price that rang up for a walnut Weatherby vanguard and Ruger mini ranch rifles. It was 499 on the weatherby and 599 on the Ruger mini. More like a third. I was gonna buy something at half off but different discounts here.

I'm callin' bullshit on all of it.
I went out in a pouring rain yesterday to buy a $399 Mini 14 and found one at the local Walmart. It was marked $747.
,......had to chase the guy down that worked behind the gun counter,...told him that his Mini 14 had been marked down to $399,..and he raised one eyebrow and looked at me like I was brain damaged.
,...damn near got run over by a fat woman drivin' one of them electric shoppin' scooters on the way out too.
Fuggit. I don't need another .223 any damn way.

They must have 40 of them damn fat women electric scooters at the local Walmart. It's like the "Fat Woman 500" down there on Saturday afternoon.
I'm surprised they ain't got a pit crew set up at the front of the store,.....where the fat women can come wheelin' in and get a fresh battery installed.
