Title: Rifles?
Post by: Cajunate on September 01, 2016, 07:44:04 PM
Not sure how many if any here are hunters or gun nuts but Wal-Mart is having an unbelievable sale on Ruger rifles. Like 50% off on some rifles. You need to ask them to actually scan the item you want to see the savings. Also not all rifles are on display so be sure to ask them to check their inventory. Anywhere from .17 hmr to 30.06.

WOW! How did you find out about this sale Cajun? Is it shown on line or somewhere I can see what they have?

It's been going on here all week. Not publicized and the only way to know for sure what each store has is to go and check with a store worker. Some will check inventory if you call and ask for something specific. Mostly Savage, Marlin, Ruger(American series rifles) and Mossberg shotguns. The Marlin 45/70 is a hot commodity here that most want.

It is going on nationally!

This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of my enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.


I am the NRA and on the front lines of WWIII

Y'all need to arm and prepare your selves and protect you and your family. It's coming.

Good to know thanks!  I have an old Marlin .22  I use to pick off turtles in our pond (Sorry Ka Honu)  but they are trouble for fish

Would love to get a newer version and maybe add to my shot gun collection  ;)

The 2 local wallys, you have to be on a waiting list to buy Ruger 10/22. They call you 1 time if now answer they move to the next person.

  No luck at this Wal-Mart as far as big sales. Will check the Fairhope store this afternoon.  They do have some marked down but nothing I need...
 There is a Stainless 10/22 takedown here for $336.00 . Typically 10/22's are easy to get here.

  I need a good short range scope for my 1894/44 since I cant see the end of the barrel anymore. Always shot it open sites but "ageing eye" has set in...

My favorite rifle for fun is a 17 HMR with a scope!!!
My favorite pistol is a K tec 22 magnum with a 30 round clip

No worries, Tommy. I've done the same thing to the occasional pesky human.

I'd get a 40 or 50 mm than so you won't have trouble seeing the crosshairs. Lol......

Did you ask them to scan what they had? Some places it's not red tagged but the clearance price shows at scanning or checkout.
I took a nice drive down to bayou country a while ago and saved over $75.00 on a Benjamin air rifle. .177 but it's a penetrator for sure.

Post by: tlg4942 on September 02, 2016, 04:13:01 PM
 Yes we scanned a couple.  The 10/22 breakdown is the only thing in this store I need. Fairhope will have a larger selection so I will check there on the way home.

"Quote" I'd get a 40 or 50 mm than so you won't have trouble seeing the crosshairs. Lol......   
I need 5"  in eye relief too....  :D

Went my local Wl-Mart...They explained to me that in certain states.... Wal-Mart is selling off ALL their guns and will no longer stock guns. South Carolina is one of those states for anyone in or traveling thru S.C...

I got me a Benjamin .177 Titan for over 50% off Friday. Just did a lil test firing and that thing is powerful! More than I need for now but I like that sucker yeah! I wish the Benjamin pistol was 50% off.

Midway had a flash sale in July (1 day only) and I picked up a Ruger Blackhawk Elite .177 with scope for $59.  Not that I need a pellet gun, but for $56, what the hell, why not. I have not owned a pellet gun since the 1960's. Pellets are dirt cheap too (even the good pellets are cheaper than .22LR).  Have yet to fire it, but we have a open range day at the office coming up and it will be fun plinking the steel plates with some of the gang from the office.  And we won't have to worry about resetting them like with the 9mm and .40S&W.

This is my most recent build:

Tikka T3 Lite in .300 Win Mag. in stainless
glassed and pillar bedded
trigger sear polished and tuned to 2lb. pull
titanium bolt handle and oversize carbon fiber bolt knob
blueprinted receiver and re-faced bolt. Squared up lug lock-up
muzzle brake for countering muzzle rise and recoil abatement
26" barrel cut to 24" to allow the muzzle brake - and not look like a flag pole ;D
Remington 700 style oversize recoil lug. head spacing fine tuned.
Custom carbon fiber  thumb hole stock from Manners. Adjustable check least and length of pull
Quick Disconnect sockets on off-bolt side and bottom of stock.
short picatinny rail insert into the bottom of stock fore end.
CDI bottom metal. 10 round magazine.
Optics: Vortex Viper 6-24 x 50mm H-59 style illuminated reticle.

Accurate and light. I have shot steel silhouettes out to 1000 yards with it so far. Want to increase that to 1760 yd. ( 1 mile ). This one will be going to hunt Elk with myself, ACW3 and Lost Arrow in November.

You come South, and maybe we can get you some "instruction"... ;) ;D Please note - it is a LEFT hand bolt gun. But, for bench work or fixed position shooting...Many right handed shooters are taught to use a Left bolt gun.
