Oh, I knew exactly what I was looking for. They lowballed me about $125 below the bottom of the value range for the gun I had (I had done extensive research on it) and that was the end of their "negotiation".


Turns out there was a guy behind the counter at Gander Mountain in Saginaw (that I hit promptly on my way home from GG) who was looking for exactly the gun I had to add to his own personal collection, and he gave me what I considered to be a very fair price for it.

I didn't mean you didn't know what you wanted I was referring to myself as a first time hand gun buyer. But Im pretty sure on what I'm getting

Sorry for the misunderstanding. My bad.


Good luck with your purchase, whatever you end up getting and wherever you end up getting it from!
 
I browsed online so I knew what a good price would be. Then I went to the local gun shop (Osbornes, Newaygo Cty) and asked about the Remington R1. He quoted $620 plus tax. The online dealers had mostly been 650 plus tax plus a service fee.
So I like buying local. Don't know what you have in Owosso but I know there is a sport shop north of you in St.Charles.

We have one gun store in town I am going to check out either to day or tommrow. I know What the MSRP and what Cabelas and Gander is charging for the models I am looking for after handleing them this last weekend. I forgot about St. Charles thanks, for the reminder.

One question...have you ever shot a 45 or 40sw? I've been trying to think of a way to get with you to shoot my 45 and Walther 9mm, not sure if I could do it by tomorrow though.

I'm not buying tommrow and maybe not Thursday. After Wendsday though I go back to work 3pm-11pm and probably 7 days for a while. I have never shot a hand gun. I'm down to shoot.
