Rocky,
Our local Wally World still carries fire arms. It was a fantastic place to buy gun for a while there as they were selling the guns from all of the other stores in the area. They had several youth model Rem. 700`s in .243 with a cheap scope for $ 250 new. It was all I could do to get out of there without buying acouple of guns every time I went in, and they never really had anything I wanted.
But that`s all over now. They are still carring guns, but the supper deals are over.
