I guess Home Depot has really branched out, how much are their slugs? ;-)


Seriously, we all do it.....so you are in good company. :mrgreen:

Y'all actually go IN the store???

Man, y'all be lucky!!! :lol:

I have to settle for 1-800-how can I separate you from yer money sir... "rlol"

For what it's worth, they have a few things that are interesting, that I might decide to buy...Maybe that's why it's good I don't live up that way... :lol:

I have spent way too much money at Sportsman's Warehouse this month. With their clearance I keep going in there and grabbing stuff.

FWIW the stores pales when compared to all that is online from them IMO.

Haha....Let a wife unit who actually likes to save money, manage the books for a while. You'll be cured after the first outing or when you're done sleeping on the couch, which ever happens first. I can't/shouldn't complain. The first week of the year cost us more than I've ever spent at one time in my life. But, the wife has said nothing about me dropping bones to pay for a rifle class with Paul Howe or the 1000 rounds of 308 I bought today.
When you take the time out of your day to beat someone, it has a much longer lasting effect on their demeanor than simply shooting or tazing them.

Academy is usually about the same price and has better selection on the boxes. If you're wanting several, http://www.berrysmfg.com/categories/3-0.php has them in various lots ranging from 4 to 50. (Those high-looking prices on the first page of each type are usually per 4 boxes, so they're actually a decent price)

I scored there in the first week of their sale....

Bushmaster Varminter: MSRP $1,325.00; SW Price $1,069.95; I paid $962.00
Burris XTR Tactical 3-12x50 scope: MSRP $1,177.00; SW Price $819.96; I paid $575.00

I never went back because I was afraid they would ask for their stuff back! :mrgreen:

I just recently started buying stuff at Cheaper Than Dirt. The first time, I walked into their store and bought several boxes of Federal Gold Match .223 69 gr SMKs and some Federal Gold Match .308 168 gr SMKs. The .308s were about $8.00 a box less than the next cheapest price I had ever seen them sold for (which was at Sportsman's Warehouse). The .223s were equally well priced. I also bought a couple of 20 rd mags for the Bushmaster, but they weren't any cheaper than I would have expected.

A little later I ordered some Radians Enhanced Ear Plugs from them. I haven't had a chance to try them out at the range yet, but they should be wizzo for hunting, where you need a compromise of hearing protection, without dulling your ability to hear the game coming in.

Man I love CTD.

I can order something at noon and by the time I get home from work I have a tracking number. It almost always gets here in a day, too.

Definitely my favorite place to order gun stuff from.
