Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Walmart ADL Transformation

Do Wal Mart's all over the country, except Billings, MT. do these nice "clearance sales" on rifles? Every time these "sales" on Vanguards or 700s come up on this forum I head on down to Wal Mart only to find that the prices haven't moved one cent. When I ask the gun counter guys (who I know) about these current sales they look at me like I have an antler growing out of my forehead.

What DBM is that? How do you like it? I am looking at the PT&G DBM with AICS Mags

When the sales hit you need to check www.brickseek.com to see what stores have those specific models in stock, then go there and tell them it’s in stock and you want it....

Every once and a while a stupid employee might try to “misplace one” so they can get it cheaper later - however there is this little thing about not being able to locate rifles in inventory that the ATF gives nasty, nasty fines for ... so if you ask about it being in inventory and asking for the manager they tend to show up right after you head home.

When I first started chasing the Walmart clearance items using Brickseek 3 years ago, I found that if Brickseek showed it being there, it was there. I can only recall one time that the sporting goods department couldn't come up with an item, and that was a scope. Last year, there were several times that items weren't there, mostly stuff like trail cams and scopes. This year was a different story. I took one road trip in which I hit 5 different Walmarts that were showing up on Brickseek as having guns in stock, and only one of them actually did. I asked to see a store manager at one, and insisted that he personally check the inventory. He did, and showed me the log that they keep of guns in stock, and it showed zero stock for the Remington 700 ADL in 223, the one Brockseek showed they had. All I could do was to take his word for it.

Now, here's the kicker.............checking Brickseek today, they still show that three Walmarts close to me have those rifles in stock, for $79. There is evidently a glitch somewhere in the system, either on Brickseek or Walmart's inventory list. I doubt that they have "lost" or "misplaced" that many rifles.

Nope, some do some don't. Billings lowlander had the Vanguards in 2018. BTDT But the one on the hill never dropped. Generally, besides the 223 final clearance 700s, I have not seen the 700s drop in this part of the county. Never below $300. Great Falls, one store drops, the other not. In Missoula, the 1100s at both stores went low in 2019. In Idaho, Burley might drop snd Boise doesn't. In 2020, the 223 700s were being phased out and stores received 1 each, vs other times its left overs at that store. Never know. Usually. Iirc the discounts will be at Walmarts with the full gun display, not the turn style type.
