Can't go wrong with that price PK.:thumb:

 

Well, I really didn’t do it for me. I bought it to help America. :thumb:

 

Without pics it never happened

Tomorrow morning it’s going to climb in my lathe, get barrel threads and a muzzle brake. I’ll take some pics then if I remember.

 

I have a 770 I bought a few yrs ago.
The bolt is sticky on most of them. But I can't complain about the accuracy.

And for that price, certainly you get your money's worth.

maybe they smoothed out the bolts by now.

I bought one last year but ended up giving it to my nephew. That bolt was very sticky until I polished everything. I checked the new bolt , today in the store. It’s not bad.

 

Why did you decide 300 win mag over the others? I'm trying to learn more about rifle calibers.

 

I chose 300 win because I already shoot that cartridge. I have a ruger precision in 300 win and I did’t want to stock another cartridge. The 300 win is good for 1000+ yards, carries a lot of energy, easy to find and not expensive ( especially online).

.

 

easy 1000 yard shooter with todays ammo maybe.

 

Good purchase. My wife saw something about Walmart supporting the BLM movement so we can't shop there. I won't let her shop at Hobby Lobby due to their stand on woman's rights so I have to honor her request. Sometimes morals get in the way

I assure you Walmart did BLM no favor when they sold that rifle to me. :thumb:

 

What kind of pressure cooker?

 

LMAO, I think the pressure cooker story was a ploy. He honey, lets go shopping for you a new pressure cooker. I will be in the gun section if you need me.

 

After reading the post last night the phone was on fire this morning.
Family members picked up a Remington Model 770 (with Scope) in 300 Win Mag, 30-06(4) and 243.

Our store had several Savage 30-06 (no scope)for $175. Store manager said keep checking back for other clearance guns coming up in next several weeks.

Other friends going tomorrow to other stores to see what they have left.

 

I went to Local WW and they had a Savage .22WMR cheap but they couldn't find anyone that was able to sell firearms (or so they said)

 

Why support Walmart and the Walton family. I bet theres half a dozen gun shops in the area who would have loved your business...

 

This isn’t a “Hate Walmart’” thread. Take it elsewhere.

 

I buy something from Amazon almost once a day (minimum twice a week) for myself or my store. I'm doing what I can to stimulate the economy (while satisfying my impulse to buy stuff I don't need). I'm no fan of Jeff Bezos but we have few choices these days. I'm no fan of Kroger or Walmart or Home Depot or any of the other sell-out companies either. If there were any pro-American companies left I'd give them my business, exclusively.

And congrats on the gun buy, PK. Too bad Amazon wouldn't sell and ship them direct.

 

Just HAD to check out the local Wally. No Remingtons but picked up a Savage Axis in .308 no scope for $175.00............already had a better scope to put on it any way. Merry Xmas daughter of mine!.....( I know I'll never be able to make it to Xmas). Supporting America---one rifle at a time.

 

You’re a good man, Woody :thumb:

 

I was in Field & Stream yesterday, they had shotguns, rifles and a good amount of pistols in the cases. I was there for something else, but grabbed a 250 box of Federal 9mm luger for $59.95 and they were fully stocked with anything else.

 

I was in Field & Stream yesterday...

That would be Di*ks - the leading antigun retailer in the US. NO.

 

Just ordered an upgrade trigger and springs from MCarbo for the lowly Axis I just bought.
20 bucks for half the pull weight and some smoothness--yeah, I'm all in.

 

Don’t get attached to it. Remember...it’s for your daughter! :

 

But, but, but she can have another .308 I have!

 

I'm sure it will have a sling and some other upgrades by then!

 

I went to Walmart this afternoon.

So you’re one of them there Walmart people? :

 

Yes, I am. Thanks for asking. I’m also a card-carrying gun whore.

 

PK makes me look like a gun whore in training! But hey....if they want to give them away, I'll get in line. Oh wait.....I did!

 

Once again, I’m off to Walmart. I thought I check on what they have remaining in inventory and maybe make another purchase ....to help America, of course. It’s the least I can do.

 

NO double dipping!

 

No Walmart for me.....they don't carry SBR ammo any longer. . I stopped going there after their ignorant comments on aggressive ammo. Walmart can kiss the rumplestiltskin.

 

I'm quite sure they regret offending you.

Refer to post #29

 

But, did they have more to offer?

3 remaining in 243, 270 and 223. I’m not interested in those.

 

My $190, 300 win mag, sub moa shooter. I floated the and threaded the barrel, added the brake, bipod, scope and sling. They’re manufactured with an adjustable trigger. I polished the bolt and the action is quite smooth. It’s a great shooter.

 

Oh noes.....say it ain't so! Doncha know that's a cheap crap made for Walmart gun? The receiver ain't hardened, they don't even screw the barrel in, it'll blows apart.....LOL.:::

It never ceases to amaze me the crap you see on the internet, LOL. Glad that rifle shoots for ya PK, no reason it wouldn't. The 300WM isn't generally known for eating throats, unlike some calibers so it should give you long service. Myself, I've been having this hankering for a 338 Lapua. Don't ask. There is no why LOL. For some odd reason, I've been drawn to the Ruger Precision. I don't know why because I hate that Tubb-lookin' MF'er LOL. But danged if that rifle isn't just perfectly fit to me and perfect for what I want it for. Dang.

 

Did the wife get her pressure cooker?

Dude, it's all your fault. I had to get one in .308.
I was surprised that the scope seems to be usable, but I will know more tomorrow, hopefully.

The trigger seems pretty good too. :

Sidebar:
I went to a different Walmart than the two that I have used before for similar.
I was pleasantly surprised that the two men that helped me were knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. The transaction was quick and smooth. I almost forgot where I was. :

Glad I could help...: How much did you pay? I find the scope to be decent and suitable for a 22lr, but not on a caliber of long range capability. I prefer 20x minimum for long ranges.

 

Dang, I gotta get time to get by one of the area Wal-marts. I bet the flippers bought them all up already though. They did that with he muzzleloaders that Wal-mart clearanced here a few months ago. Some of these guys go in and buy 10 rifles and then Double the price and put them on Armslist. No problem making money, but half of them draw a government check and have nothing better to do than beat working folks to the deals. They did the same stuff during the .22 drought. Making cash money they don't pay taxes on. If you are too disabled to work and get a disability check, I figure you shouldn't be able to run to every store in the area every other day and hunt and fish all year. Sounds to me like you could work if someone made you.

Picking up a .270 or .243 would be a good option right now as ammo is still on the shelf for those most places I see.

 

Maybe, they may not discontinue anything 9mm?

Which is for the most part what I use now for everything.

9mm is just what I have grown to use.

Its been three years sense I took a deer with my .30-06. Would not use 9mm for deer hunting.

I LOVE to burn Hog and varmint bodies at deer camp while drinking.

Let the deer hunters sit in the stands and hunt deer at 4 AM after I clean the place out of varmints.

I am having a good breakfast and coffee while all of them gut deer in camp. Loads of fun.
