Saw the above gunownersclub add after I found these other guns.

I have found a shop that actually has two in stock, just trying to come to terms on the price. They are almost non existent. A shop in Cookville had a Browning A-Bolt that sat on the shelf for almost two years before they marked it down $200 to move it. Thanks, for all the leads via pm also.

Has anyone seen any 25-06 bolt action rifles at any mid-TN gun shops? A couple of local (Wilson Co.) gun shops can order one but I was hoping to find one in stock in the next few days. I want it for my son who is in the Air Force and is in for Thanksgiving and will be here for a few more days but will not be here for Christmas. If anyone knows of one I would appreciate the lead. 

I'm no huge Kimber fan,only I believe they can be a bit over priced (all the advertising is expensive). That being said, I have a Kimber Custom II that is amazingly accurate and reliable,  for that price it would make a very fine gun. 

The Tec-9 is probably the only gun I ever regret buying. It was the most unreliable firearm of any type I've ever owned. It would not fire more than three rounds without some sort of jam. As a similar gun I have heard decent reviews of the Master Piece Arms firearms. And if you have any issues, they are still in business to take care of them.

I have a Les Baer "Thunder Ranch Special" with the Baer coat. It is a great shooting pistol. My next premium 1911 will be another Leas Baer in 38 Super, not sure of the model yet. [URL=http://s202.photobucket.com/user/lowery100/media/utf-8BSU1BRzAyMzguanBn.jpg.html][/URL]

Yea, that's what I had thought also. But I'm not up on all the latest and greatest knives. Thanks for the input.

I'm looking to get the ZT 0350ST. Just wondering if I'm overlooking any other knives with comprable features and similar price. I've kind of focused in on the ZT 350 and just want to make sure I haven't missed another great knife I should know about.

Redfield's "Revolution" line of scopes are U.S. made. Owned by Leupold. The Revenge and Battlezone line are foreign made. I have been impressed their quality for their price. I have the Battlezone and like it a lot.

I may be making a road trip soon. Not necessarily that I need any more AR's but sounds like they have a lot of other hard to find items. Thanks for the heads-up. 

I too believe most prices wholesale prices have not gone up. But, you say "many retailers are still selling hot items at or near pre-shooting prices" I so far, unfortunately have found none close by that this is the case. I will have to start taking a drive I suppose. 

I have found myself swearing off gun shops that have been gouging their customers(me). Unfortunately, my favorite shop and every other local shop I've been in are guilty of it. Now I must keep venturing further out or suck it up and pay the prices. I've seen the gouging first hand, repricing old stock to new pricing. I do understand as new stock from distributors go up your prices have to go up, but repricing old stock riles me a bit. 

That was how I found mine a couple of weeks ago. I walked by the sporting goods counter at Wal-Mart and they had one in the case, said they had it for about two hours. I had to break out the credit card for it, did not know when or if I'd see another one for the right price $447.

How many of us over the last couple of years have took gold in to sell for what is essentially inflated prices. As has been stated, free market economies dictate such price swings, the market will swing one way or another and will usually settle somewhere in the middle. Back to the gold reference, most would think you crazy to sell you old gold chain from high school for close to what you paid for it in 1981, I would guess that old chain is worth several times what was paid for it then. That is not gouging, its not immoral. Because some of us did not prepare for what was inevitable and others are profiting from it is not the profiteers problem or fault it is our for not being prepared.
