I have bought guns from the marts, Gander Mtn, Cabelas, gun shows and dealers. I like to buy them where I find them.
I can say my best guns come from shows and dealers but my work horse 870 I got from a Gander sale. I paid 178 dollars new
with a rebate.
I hunt deer with it most the time. I have had it so wet the stock has swelled and the receiver had a light rust on it.
I cleaned and oiled the gun, put it in the cabinet and you can't tell it looked that way a month ago.
I got the gun because I didnt want to ruin my favorites with the bad weather. The gun has held up well.
I didnt think I would like this post in the beginning. I was afraid it would turn into just a bash the marts. I do shop at them and I still go to my favorite dealer and shows.
The dealer in most areas are the go to guy for accessories and the nicer stuff.
I have been looking to replace a scope on my 270 with a Burris or a Leopold it will most likely be a dealer thing.
