just an observation but most gun prices are very high and availability continues to be low, will it stay this way or is it just a pre election effect.
saw a little bit of rock island auction yesterday and from what I saw prices were way up there.

I see the prices on the rise and it's hard to find a deal
but they are there and it's a sellers market,seemingly
demand is high and product is becoming scarce
lots to do with the riots and the balance on the election

It seems to me, without any statistical or scientific backing, that whenever there is a political or civil unrest problem the prices go up. Unreasonably up. I recall the $150 SKS rifles that went to $350 and eventually to $650 and maybe higher over a few months of Early Obama. Happened again in anticipation of the Hillary Presidency. Then, they dropped again, down to $450-$500, but never went much lower unless they were dogs. Ammo went sky high, and what was $5.00 boxes of cheap 9mm went to $25 and then became impossible to obtain. The cheapest I've seen them since has been $7.50 for CCI Blazer, but once again even that is gone from the shelves. Prices go up, come down again, but never as far down as they were.
Picked up a new Remington 700 3006 today at walmart for $99
The rems are 331.00

There's some price gouging going on, but I haven't seen any of it at our local guy.
If he's got it, the price is normal, if he doesn't, he'll back order what ya want at the regular price.
All the used guns in the case look like the price on them is what I'd call 'fair'.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
My buddy went to Walmart last week & the guy who knows him from buying so much ammo told him he just missed a great deal. The employee had to mark down a Savage .270 bolt rifle. I guess he then started to call around to get someone he knew to come buy the great deal. A customer walking by overheard him and insisted in buying it, $79
I read a lot about these Walmart clearance deals, but never see them around here. About 15 years ago I got a Winchester M70 Black Shadow in 300WSM for $299 with a junk scope, but that never happens around here anymore.
As far as gun prices in general, it depends on what gun and where you are.
Supplies are very low around here. The LGS has ammo but the prices are outrageous! They can't keep shotguns in stock especially the lower to mid range stuff. The high end stuff and big rifles are available for house payments. AR's are $1,400 without sights another $75 for the special magazine loading device through the ejection port & Mini-14's are $1,200. Pump shotguns are selling for $700- $900. 38 cal Gold dot was $80 box, CCI Stingers $17 box/50, CCI Segmented were $20 box/50, Federal 22lr $100 brick/500. Remington Accutips or Hornady SST sabot slugs in 12/20ga $25 box/5, 12ga foster slugs are $13 box/5, 38 HP $60 box/50, Federal 357mag HP $35 box/50. I bought all the SRP they had CCI 8 sleeves of 100 $70 for 800 SRP. Hot items had limits of 1 per person.
I used brick seek for 770's. The one walmart nearby had one for 54.00. I called to verify. The sales guy said yes. But the last one is missing the bolt.

My favorite LGS sells .223, .45 and 9mm one box at a time and only with the purchase of a gun in the same caliber. They have all flavors of guns in stock EXCEPT tactical shotguns. Those disappeared 3 or 4 Mos ago.
You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

The tactical shotguns were what I noticed disappear early on. I'm sure AR's are scarce but I never pay them to much mind in brick and mortar stores anyways.
I'd been wanting a tac-style shotgun for a while and unfortunately decided to pick one up at the start of COVID. Found a pistol grip, breacher-barrel 590 for a fair price and was able to change parts to my liking.
At this point if you think you need a gun and/or ammunition you are a fool.
On the other hand if you just want something you can really do without but just want, that's entirely different.
In either case good luck.
We are all fools at some point.
1hole, I think everyone wishes they knew how long the mayhem is going to go on for. Im thankful i stocked up while the get'in was good.
