S&W Seeing Green Rebate

How long has everyone been waiting for their optic rebate to ship?

Maybe it's time I get that M&P Shield I've been thinking about....

I just sent mine away the other day. Not exactly sure what I’m gonna do with it since the pistol I bought came with a Holosun on it

I’m now a few weeks waiting.

I bought a new revolver that Smith had a rebate on Got it back took about a month I didn’t know if I would ever get one So I was happy when it came

Rebates are always slow in coming, but they do come. I purchased 2 Savage Rifles that had 150.00 rebates a couple years back. Took 6 weeks to get the two checks. Sure makes the rifles and pistols cheaper.

Those two Savages, an Axis 7MM 08 with Weatherby 3 X 9 42MM scope and a 308 Axis with the same scope. Bass Pro also had a 125.00 off to coincide with the rebate.  If memory serves me well, the rifles cost a little over 165.00 out the door each once the rebates came. They were Christmas specials. B Pro has not had that good of sale since. 

Now I ask you, is that not cheap for 2 brand new rifles. My grandson, whom I gave the 308, and I have shot the snot out of those rifles.  I gave him 6 boxes of 20 rounds each Winchester Deer season XP, and he and his buddies shot it up for practice/plinking. When he went back to replace the ammo, he found out there was such a thing as practice ammo (Much Cheaper). His dad almost corked when he checked out at Wal Mart. Don't think that will happen again.  

I don't like to shoot big rifles here at home much as the sound raises the roof for my neighbor's houses. 

Edited to add; I am a big S W fan. I have 4 fantastic plastic MP 9 MM and several S W revolvers now. All have been great.

I picked up a Shield plus 30 Super carry for $279. It was almost like buying an optic and getting the gun free.

Sales and rebates are the only way to get me to say ok nowadays.
