Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Good deal at Wally World

I blame you guys for making me aware of this deal and taking home a 243 today. I went to Walmart to check on a tablet for our 2 year old son and kill some time until my vets office opened. I looked at the gun counter and the sales guys said all their guns are 20% off this weekend so I asked to see the package 700 they had for $377. After fondling it I asked if they had a 243 in storage and he said they did. My sons are 2 and the other just born Monday so while they won't be able to use it for a few years it will be a rifle that they can use as long as they wish.


Total price was $322 out the door and Remington has a $35 rebate on all ADL models til the end of the year. At under $300 total it's hard to find fault with this deal.

Be glad you only bought one. Some of us did not have that kind of restraint...

They said I could layaway too. May just go buy it for my up and coming young girls.

All black ADL.

I may have spoken too soon. I was unaware of the recall on the X Mark Pro triggers but when I put my serial number into the Remington database it said mine may be affected. I had no intentions of replacing this trigger with a Timney but it seems that is what most are doing.

I adjusted mine lighter today and it passed the drop and slam test. I really don't want to send it in and have them sit on it for months. I thought the X Mark was supposed to be an "improvement" over the Walker trigger

If It has a punch mark on the bolt release It's already had the recall done. All the ones I bought have the punch mark.

I got the $300.00 Camo stocked ADL from my nephew on Thanksgiving. Ain't no wonder he let me "talk" him out of it. He managed to snag one at another store for the 20% off price. Throw in the $35.00 rebate, he got a heck of a deal. Wonder if I can talk him out of it too?

Dave.

Good call there. Just checked and mine has the punch mark so I'm good to go.

Our Walmart had no problem with layaway and the sale. You just had to come in and do the paperwork and pay it off during the sale (which ends today). We have a 700 BDL that is $477 after the 20% discount.

UNCC,

I may be wrong, but I doubt that rifle would fall under the recall. I'd call Remington.

Like I said, I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that if Walmart would have had rifles that fell under the recall, they would have been notified and sent back. Plus, that recall is now going on a year old. See when your gun was made.

Just checked the 223 I bought. It's got a dot punched into the bolt release.

I may have to buy one as a donor. Been wanting to build a fast twist 223 after my 260

SW had a similar deal and I picked up a .223...price was a tad higher, but I didn't have to go to Wally world, and one of the guys behind the counter screwed up on the form, so I was called back in for a re-do...and given a $30 gift cert. for my trouble...thus eliminating the difference between SW and WMT prices



Hauling it to the smith monday....

I hate you guys
Went to cabelas and had them price match walmart. That way I could use my points.
I said I was done building for a while but the wife needs a 7mm08 of her own since my rifles don't fit her well and caused her to miss a good buck this season.

I wish I woul dhave known this sale. Swearing I'd never buy another Remington, for $266 with the rebate, I think I would have bought one.

And THAT would beat the hell outta going to Wallyword any ole day of the week. Our Wallmart is so overrun with wet back Meskins that the whole damn store smells like a bad burrito.

BTW, use the rebate for the "SPS" for $40. Yes, technically they are ADL's, but the model is "SPS".

I doubt that will work because when you fill out the rebate you have to enter the UPC code to get going.

Read your box. Mines an SPS.

Here's mine - seems to be an ADL and I think the UPC code on the online rebate form filled that designation in.

Hmmmm...

Mine is a blind box mag though...and the serial number on the box matches the gun.

Mine has a 4-12 scope too, not 3-9. It's a POS though, obviously.
