I am sure there is a thread like this, but I can not find it. Too many random threads with walmart in them.

I wanted to buy the all weather 10/22. I figured since I know exactly what I want I will pick it up at walmart and save some money. I call my local gun selling walmart and try to get a price. They are 25 minutes away so I didn't want to waste the time driving to talk to them. THe clerk basically accused me of making a straw buy and did not want to give me the pricing info. Apparently b/c I was calling on the phone so someone else could go pick it up for me. What a load of crap. Checked around with my local shops, one sells it for 239, only $4 more than walmart and they were not only behind the counter when I arrived, but happy I stopped in.
