Rossi sale at Wally World
« on: December 27, 2004, 05:34:31 PM »
I was looking at Wally World's SOC (special order catalog) and they have Rossi Single Shots in the most popular (they feel) calibers for $157.00. I know how some feel about Walmart but...... they have them in .223, .243, .270 .308 & .30/06. I was thinking about one in .30/06 to shoot up all this surplus '06 ammo a cousin gave me and to add to my .223/20 ga Combo. I have to get my layaways out of my fav mom & pop first :roll: .  BTW one of the guns I have in layaway is a .22 bolt action repeater made in Brazil for MAGTECH (Mod 122). I did a Google search for it and came up nada (except for MAGTECH was getting out of the firearms side of the business and sticking with ammo). I wonder who made it?

Don't know if that is a 'sale'. Waly-World seldom has sales, especially on firearms.  However there regular prices are the lowest I have been able to find anywhere. Here is a link to their 'special order page' for Rossis;

At times wally world does have sales on particular guns. Recently they sold the Weatherby Vanguards at a great reduction. But usually you have to run a price check to find out about these deals, they don't tell you unless you and a manager are good buddies.

Actually that was a clearance.  A "clearance" is when the price of a discontinued item is reduced in order to clear it out of inventory more quickly.  Clearanced items are usually sold at a loss.  A "sale" is when a store temporarily reduces the price of an item (but not below a profitable rate) in order to move more units than normal in a given amount of time.  The item is still stocked regularly and the price will return to it's original level after a time.

While Wal-mart does clearance items when discontinued, they virtually never run sales.  That's the whole thing behind their slogan "Everyday low prices."; their items are supposed to be priced well enough that you don't have to wait on a sale to buy like with other stores  :wink:.  

As for the guns for $157, that's normal price for a Rossi at Wally-world.  Before the .357 mag was discontinued it was around $135.
