A friend and I went to a local gunshow today.What a joke.I have never seen so much junk that they wanted a fortune for .Used guns for more then new guns. I'm talking current production stuff.One guy had a couple of the new Ruger M-77's in 204.They were some of the more reasonable stuff but still to high.I saw a couple of used and I mean well used S&W M-29's for 450.00-500.00. Come on. One Glock M27 NIB 609.00.I guess a sucker will eventually come through.A dealer from one of the local gunshops had a Ruger Single Six Hunter. Yes a 22 LR w/ the extra cylinder for the 22 mag. 569.00. That's more then I paid for my 44mag SBH Hunter.It wasn't a big show.I've been to them a couple times before. I said no more. Then for something to do why not. 5.00 to get in and waste of time. It's very doubtful I'll ever go to another one of these small shows again. Then again I said that once before..After not going for a few years I had hope they had improved.Nope SOS.

And if you say something to them about the prices,they get an attitude.  Where was the show? I did get a Remmy 1100/12ga with 26" bbl and one choke for $300 not long ago. I havn't seen them that low since. You are right though some idiot will pay max price without shopping around. GT |

GT I guess these sellers go by the old saying" A fool and his money are soon parted" I don't know who's show it was or who was running it. It was in Ocala Florida.I've been in this area for 15 years,been to about a half dozen of these shows. They sure haven't improved.I agree you can't talk these dealers down at the shows.They think they are the only ones who sells this new production stuff.When I'm looking for something new Gunsamerica is usually where I check first.I get some good deals from my dealer. If he doesn't have it he'll get it.Almost everything he sells is quite abit under retail. I've gotten some super deals at BassPro.How about a couple of the Browning BAR "Stalkers" 270 & 30-06 for 539.99ea.I got them at BP in Cincinnati OH Christmas before last.Deals are there if you look hard enough..

That sounds like the last Wannenmacher show I was at. I should have saved the admission price and got a pizza.  |
