Walmart Bargains

[A moron]

Heck if I mail order pellets shooting my powder .22 comes out far cheaper. Even my .22 mag comes out even.

Cheap easy air gun shooting seems becoming a thing of the past at the way it is now.

Remember when you could go to bills dolar store or tg&y. And buy a bucket of bullets for cheap and shoot till you were sick of it or everything a round was shot up beyond recognition with grandpa's .22 single shot s.l. lr stevens.

Think pellet shortage is bad, just try to find some Coke Zero?

[Hoosier Daddy]

AMEN!
 That is what Hoosier Momma drinks. Scarce as hens teeth!

Try finding 300 Savage rounds for less than $1.50 a shot!
$30 for a box of 20 leads to one expensive shooting session.... Airguns are STILL cheap here!

Not seeing much in IL.  Some local stores have stopped selling pb rifles

[Xraycer]

I was at my most frequent Super Walmart and of course perused the sporting goods dept. Restocked with about 6 different makes of airguns, buit no airgun ammo.
However, I was really bummed to find that the powder burner case was completely free of the usual rifles. Completely gone! Last week, it was nearly full, with maybe 40 rifles.
I'm certain, they didn't just merely sold out because the car has now been reconfigured to hold pb ammo. The rifle racks have been removed.
Besides ammo, there was only one single boxed muzzle loader laying there by it's lonesome. This is a sad day for me. I had hoped this store stood by the NH motto: "Live free, or die" ☹️

Happy day today! I was at WallyWorld this morning and this is what I spied   

Found out, yesterday, from the sporting goods supervisor that this particular Walmart is officially done with PB. What's left in the display case, right now, will be it's very last inventory.

       was at Walmart the other day to pick up a two man ladder stand which they had one of them and swung by the air rifle section and it was packed with pellets and break barrel rifles.having tens of thousands pellets and too many air rifles already i just looked and passed by with my ladder stand in the cart.i guess it depends on which Walmart one would go to as to what they have...plus the stand was $125.00 but the lady charged me for the single stand at $84.00,maybe that is why they only had one left in stock...on that day i was a blind hog and did find an akern...

That is good to see.
Walmart has the Daisy 880 with a 4x scope for $36.96.
That is a good deal.
I am still using the little cheap 4x scope on mine.
My 880 shoots the Daisy Flat-Nosed pellets made in Spain very accurately(the made in China ones are NOT accurate).

My Walmart went dry on the 40 count Crosman CO2 cartridges for $15.46.

Supposedly 5 left in the store; but, no more online ordering & delivering.

OTOH, smaller quantities for a much higher price are still available for online ordering / delivery.

This just in! News flash. 10/31/2020 Walmart to return guns to their stores, maybe air gun stuff also?

[avator]

I doubt it.... they pulled the PB and ammo due to recent protesting and rioting. This had nothing to do with why they downsized the air gun offerings.
Online sales of airgun and related ammo has killed the Walmart sales.

Bit more to it than that. Pity discussion of politics isn't allowed in that we can say what happened, but not why it happened. The below link isn't the cause; but it is a symptom of whats happening.

CNN tends to not report the whole story....

Quote:
Stocks of publicly traded gun companies fell sharply Friday following Walmart’s decision to remove firearms and ammunition from shelves in some US stores.

Shares of American Outdoor Brands, formerly known as Smith & Wesson, fell nearly 4%, while Sturm, Ruger & Co. stock dipped 1% in midday trading. Ammunition maker Vista Outdoor fell 10% and Axon Enterprise, which makes the Taser stun gun, fell more than 4%.

The company’s declines are shadowing a broader selloff in the markets, with stocks on pace to record one of their worst weeks of the year. All three indexes are in the red on Friday and on track for their worst performance since March.
