At Wllyworld today, Savage edge is $267.00
i haven't seen a gun at a wally in years. maybe it's just pennsyltucky here.... i think i've seen the combo's for a better price in the $240's? could be wrong though...
i guess unless i saw a hella deal i was wrong, just wen to cabelas today, didnt see one priced better than 270 or so.
Walmart doesn't sell arms in what they call an "urban area".
For instance, no guns for sale in State College, but you can buy them in their store in Huntingdon, PA, 30 miles away.
It's all PR. (Or, PC!)
some of the wallys have begun to sell guns around me again. ex weirton wv and east liverpool ohio. the edge is 267.00 and has been on display with the 30-06,270 and 223.
I got mine last fall at Cabela's on sale for $249.99. If you keep an eye out, you can get a really good deal on one.Quote:

Out west, and in Alaska we have Fred Meyer (Kroeger). I have purchased two Edges: a .270 and a .223, both for under $300. The firm trigger pull can be remedied by following the directions found on another thread. I re-did my .270's trigger for less than $5 in parts from the hardware store and about 30 minutes in labor. I had to take out the trigger assembly, pop out the old spring, cut and place a tension pin in the hole, cut the new spring to length with a Dremel cut-off wheel, put it back together and try the pull, then resize the spring; finally polish the trigger parts and place in the stock. A small project well worth the effort.
And BS!Quote:

Also, there fishing section is about half of what the other store just down the road carries. Both are Super Wal-Marts.
Our Walmart used to sell gun and about 5-6 years ago stopped selling them but the one 15 miles north kept sellling them. Now our's has just started stocking them again. My wife works there and said when they got rid of them before that the store had the highest gun sales in the district. So go figure how they decide.
I heard that most of the Wal-Mart's were terrible at filling out the ATF's gun forms correctly. Due to the many different employees filling out forms, there were massive amounts of mistakes every time the ATF would do audits, and many of the Walmart's had their gun license pulled due to this.
I know our local Wal-Mart won't let anyone but the Upper managment staff fill out the FFL form. I was actually denied being able to buy a gun (by Wal-Mart, not ATF) because the only person in the store able to fill out that stuff had gone home sick. Had to go back another day.
The WalMart store where I bought a rifle now has the form computerized-you provide the answers and your signature, the machine does the rest.
No waiting around for the "authorized" person, anymore.
