You realize your cheep Walmart goods are really expensive right? Jeezus......get an education. You realize things cost different amounts in different areas? Fugging country boy....wearing your Wranglers to Walmart.....
Funny the prices of guns and ammo were comparable to here when I was in Montana in 1993. Like I said, you'll have to bullshyt somebody else.
In the most expensive places you could have checked.
Like rent in Billings has always been exactly the same as the rent in Saco.
A house is a house....right?
Maybe it wasn't until you were quite old before you could divide?
Polson didn't seem too upscale to me.

Those Wildcats you bought had an inch of dust on every box since they'd been sitting on the shelf for 25 years.

No. Old man Paulson sold a bunch of em.
He had a BRNO 22 on the shelf I always wanted.
You could get a square yellow box of 100 remington hollow points at the Coast to Coast for a buck and a half.

No one knew what it was. It wasn't a Winchester or a Marlin.

Maybe we're all happy.

Damn Jim, I just dug out a 1969 Montgomery Wards catalog and a 50 ct. box of Hawthorne .22's was 68 cents but you could buy a Browning auto 5 for 184 bucks or an Ithaca 37 for 109.00. You musta been able to pick up an auto 5 for about a buck fifty and an Ithaca 37 for less than a C note at Paulson's in the 90's. If only we'd have known. Paulson's woulda been the biggest, most popular sporting goods outlet in the whole Country.
LOL.

Yup. Closed stores here in Kommiefornia couple decades back think some got turned into TrueValues.
Many MidWest companies made it to Ca. before most got bought out or folded when the BigBox concept took hold.
Maybe we're all happy.

Found these the other day in my stash...
Pretty good investment. I'd say they have gone up in value...
I remember buying 22lr for 50 cents a box or $4.50 a brick at Western Auto in the late 70's. I can't remember the brand, but the bullet was a lead semi wad cutter.
In 78 or 79 I bought my first shotgun at the same store.
It was a Revelation 20ga single shot short barrel for $59.

1977 or 78
And 100 pack of golden bullets in the square plastic slide top for a $1.89 at coast to coast until at least 1980. I remember getting pissed when they went to $2.29
