Remington 770 beater rifles

I know these are really cheap entry level rifles. But just had to shout out my kids just bought 2 on clearance at wal mart with cheap scopes on them for $54 dollars each.
One in 270 and the other 308.
Regular price is $260
Not sure if this is all stores but figured I'd share.

WOW! That's a steal. I'm sure they shoot at least close to MOA worst case scenario! Nice find.

Good buy!

 

[archeranthony]

Awesome find!

I noticed that the local Walmart has removed the firearms section from their store. There is still some ammo, but that was discounted so perhaps there is a plan to eliminate that too. Was there a corp. decision about this? If so, then I will do the same as when Dick's quit selling ammo and firearms, and chose to shop elsewhere.

I had to grab a few things today and checked the gun counter while there and nothing was on clearance however the only brand rifles they had in the case were savage and henry's.

I've seen Walmart do this quite often on items that they just want to get rid of. I know that our local one where I used to work had some fantastic buys on their pistols when they decided not to sell handguns anymore. I'm not sure if they still have it but they used to have a bargain aisle where a lot of their returns and odd ball stuff went with a huge markdown. I have no idea if they still do this or not. I can honestly say that I haven't walked into a Walmart in over 4 years now. I got tired of going into them and not finding what I needed and when you asked for some help they had no idea of what you were talking about.

I did do a search on them getting out of the firearm business and didn't find anything except for a few that are in the area where the riots are taking place and they said that the firearms were just stored in a secure location.

I plan to check it out when I'm in town on Tuesday. Last week they had 12 Ga.A. trap loads (Federal Top Gun) for $5 a box. Those who reload at the gun club told me their cost to reload is about $5.59 per box, so if they're still available will just have to carry out what I can. I sure don't need any more rifles, but for $59 I would.

I stopped at 2 other stores yesterday within a 100 miles but neither of them even had the same model rifles in stock. Maybe just clearing them out locally

I scored a Remington 700 ADL with a scope in .223 Remington for $149.00 . I'm still waiting on my BG check to be cleared (been 3 weeks now) meanwhile Walmart lowered the price to $79.00. I guess I'm glad the FBI is slower than molasses in the Winter.

Well I did make it to Wally World yesterday. The firearms section was up and running, apparently they had just been remodeling. The 4 packs of Federal trap loads were $19.54, so I bought four of them. I quickly perused the rifles, but didn't see any spectacular deals.

Strange it's taking so long on the background check. My kids bought last wednesday and picked up on saturday after the background cleared.

Didn't think you guys had these background checks for long guns. Thought it was only in Commiefornia. But if you do I know where they originated from

 

[JimP]

The background checks here in Colorado came about in 2013 when the liberals ran amok in the legislature and passe all kinds gun restrictions along with the background checks. Then the Democrat Governor signed it, then afterwards said that he really shouldn't of signed it.

We just call Colorado California East now.

It's Walmart. They have their own rules.

 

[JimP]

There was a article in today's paper that said that our governor here in Colorado is asking for around 1.3 million dollars to hire more help at the CBC for the background checks, they say that the checks are taking 500 more times than normal.

Usually it is 15-30 minutes at most.

I am actually surprised they’re asking for help. You would think they would love the fact that folks can’t get the firearm that they purchased

 

[hunter25]

The cheap scope has short eye relief. And I usually hold the rifle very loosely at the range.
Big mistake with the 270 on the first shot.
After zeroed though it shoots just over an inch with cheap federal power shok.
And probably not my best shooting after that first shot.

 

[Rich M]

I have a 770 in 243. It shoots an inch with bluebox ammo. A little less with some hand loads. Very consistent gun.

I did notice that I was hitting my safety glasses with scope and put a Leica on it. My primary rifle these days.

Howdy! It is really is hard to make a choice nowadays because of one over-marketing of products. But still, I think you should try an ATN X-SIGHT 4K PRO 3-14X. It's incredibly good, an evolution in technology! I bought it from this web page https://www.atncorp.com/smart-hd-weapon-sight if you are interested. There you will find several scopes starting with those with night vision, ultra-modern sensors, ultra-modern optics, and so on. But the most amazing attribute is the fact that you can connect via Bluetooth and adjust the latitude and degrees from the optics. In short, it`s incredible.
