Stole This Rifle...Had To Share

[Blake Burnette]

where is this Walmart at

Evans, GA.

Talked to one of the sporting goods people at Walmart, he said there was another mark down from the $184. He said they went down to $89. If they still had them I would have bought 10!!

That would have been sweet!

Here's what she looks like now. All I'm lacking is a trigger, but gonna shoot some groups with the stock trigger tomorrow.

on brickseak, is there a way to know when these deals come up? if you look in "trending deals" you can see quite a few, but none of the rifles or shotguns seem to be in those areas--do you have to search each one by sku#? individually

I like the At - one stocks for me they fit . Did you bed just the action or did you also bed the fore end of the stock ?

No bedding yet. Gonna see how it shoots as is first. Barrel was touching stock at forend so I did have to do a bit of sanding to the channel.

I have heard some not so great things about quality control and customer service with TC. But that's even more the case with Remington. I'd say go for it. What's the worst case scenario? If it doesn't do what you hoped for, you could very easily sell it for at least what you paid. Best case scenario you get a real shooter for less money than most of us spend on gas in a month.

I refuse to buy from dicks after their last anti 2a cra% that they came out with.

Tony,
You're not alone my friend. I had a similar experience with a Remington 700 ADL in 7mm Rem Mag on 7/31/19. It had a clearance tag on it...$299. I asked the department mgr about Lay-a-way. She told me that I could put it on lay-a-way and in 2 more weeks the price would drop again and since it would still be in "store inventory," it would receive the clearance mark-down just as if it were still in the display case. So I did the law-a-way, had to put up 50% down pmt. I waited until 2 days before the law-a-way was up and went back to sporting goods. I saw the same department mgr, and the inventory sticker was still in the rotary display case. She scanned it and then told me that it had received it's final mark-down.....and voila....it was down to $184! I took it home that day and I'm now working on floating the barrel and lapping the factory mounted scope. OH YES....it came with a no-frills-no-name-scope AND the new (ultra-smooth) X-Mark Pro trigger set for 3.5lbs....that thing really "breaks like glass" as Remington states...super nice! I'm going to see how good the scope performs after I lapp the rings and finish a couple of other "long-range" upgrades to it. Just so everyone knows, Walmart has "Holiday Lay-A-Way" from 8/31 - 12/09 for toys, electronics, etc. However, a little known Wally World fact is that YOU CAN put firearms on law-a-way ALL YEAR LONG there with 50% down (at least here in GA), they just don't advertise it at all. They also have a 700 ADL in .308 for $254.00...synthetic stock w/no-name-scope.....and that's the regular price. Going to pick that up Friday, can't beat that price anywhere!

Just got another at Wally World, this time a Remington 770 in 300 Win Mag....$248.00. That completes my "long range" acquisitions...I'm all done (or so my wife says)!!!

Tony, that's a gorgeous rifle! I love it!

Where are these walmarts, region?
They haven't discounted the one in Northern Indiana.

Augusta, Grovetown and Evans GA. Just bought a Remington 770 in 300 Win Mag last week, $248.00. Plastic magazine but came with a factory mounted scope, no X-Mark trigger though. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

thats about normal for the 770, its not a rifle with very good reviews though
