Precise Shooter Weekly, 2017-06-27
Deals, deals, deals.
Last year, in run up to the election where a passionately anti-gun candidate was universally expected to win,
manufacturers overproduced, and retail stores overcommitted. So in the last eight months gun industry have
experienced a major slowdown in internal sales.
As a result, the combination of aggressing rebating by the manufacturers with the aggressive discounting
by the distributors resulted in prices that at this point are nothing short of unreal. I have not seen anything
like that since I bought my first gun 10 years ago.
I don't think this Eldorado of guns will last forever - the imbalances will eventually work themselves out.
So if you are missing anything from your collection - it is a good time to round it out.
Here are the deals we have in the store right now. It's a very long list, but trust me - it will pay if you make it to the end.
Bersas
If you are looking for a Walther PPK clone,
Bersa T380 is the best that
is currently in production.
From the quality perspective they are
superior to recent - but no longer in production - Smith & Wesson licensed
copies.
We were able to buy a few models REALLY CHEAP recently and we are passing
the savings on to you.

Browning Buck Marks
If you want a really accurate target pistol, a Browning Buck Mark or Ruger Mark III (or IV) are extremely accurate and inexpensive.
In particular we have two Buck Mark pistols at amazing prices.
Buck Mark Practical URX is an entry level model, but most of these guns are easily capable of 1" 10rd groups
at 25 yards (when shot with a scope and from the rest; of course, performance of every individual guns
can vary, but all mine were this accurate).
Browning only allows us to advertise MAP price: $479.99 MAP (special order) -
but price in store is A LOT better!
Buck Mark Black Label guns are on the opposite end of the spectrum, having every option that
can be crammed into the gun, including a laser sight.
(currently unavailable)
They sell for $650
at Bass Pro Shops.
But wait - there's more! All of the following Browning guns have a $50 rebate
on them until 7/15/2017.

CZ
We are known for our CZ collection, but until recently maintaining it was challenging: for example, 75BDs were out of stock
at the manufacturer for at least a year, and though I always buy A LOT for our stock when I can, even my stock was depleted.
But recently the new batch was imported, and we have a lot of them back in stock. Not the Shadows though - these are gone.
But we still do have various CZ 452 rifles and suppressor ready 527 in 7.62x39 in
addition to a bunch of pistols. The 452s are really truly the last this time around.
A thing to know about CZ pistols - they are one of the world's most cloned handgun design. And of course we have a few of the clones in stock!
Tanfoglio Witness is a pretty faithful copy of CZ 75B, at only (currently unavailable).
That's over $150 cheaper than the comparable CZ pistol.
My favorite guns are those made by Canik 55. Unfortunately, they are no longer imported in the US, but I did buy the last ones
the distributors had. You can read my reviews here and here,
and the guns themselves are here:
| Description | SKU | UPC | Available | Price |
FN
We have a particularly good price on FNS-40. This is approximately $50 below wholesale.
(currently unavailable)
We also have a Five-seveN in stock, for the first time in approximatey a year.
(currently unavailable)
Glocks
We sell our Glocks at MAP - which means you will not find one cheaper online, and you don't have to pay
shipping or transfer. In addition to the new guns we sell a few police surplus Glocks.
You can see the full list, including the ones available at the for special order here.
If you are in the market for Glock 17, 19, or 43, however, we have some special deals for you. These three guns are
available as TALO editions with AmeriGlo orange tritium front night sight preinstalled - at the same price for for 17 and
19 (both Gen 4) and for only $20 more for 43. That's $50 in value. At least.
Specific models:
KelTec
We have a PMR-30 and a bunch of other rare KelTec guns in stock, including a Sub2k.
Les Baers
If you have to own one 1911 and the money is not an issue, you should own a Les Baer. These guns are
superbly, unreally accurate. If you buy a gun with a 1.5" group guarantee - this is 1.5" groups at 50 yards(!),
they are more accurate than quite a few rifles.
I always have one on me when I test new firearms - it helps me establish the reference point for the
accuracy of the setup and the ammunition. Once a shoot a box from my Premier II, I proceed to shoot
the handguns that I intended to test.
We are the area's biggest Les Baer dealer.
Remington 1911s
If you are looking for a superb 1911 but aren't prepared to pay Les Baer prices, you NEED to look
at Remington R1 guns - ideally today.
I picked up mine about 2 years ago when Remington ran its previous rebate. It was R1 Enhanced gun,
and I was really, REALLY impressed with its accuracy.
This time, two things happened. First, Remington runs its
rebate again, and this time it's $100 back.
On top of this, one of my distributors had inventory firesale, and it included a bunch of Remington pistols.
As a result, we can offer them to you at below wholesale and then ON TOP of this there is this rebate.
So for myself I bought all 5 guns allowed by the rebate and shot one of them - the stainless non-enhanced
version. The accuracy was the same as the enhanced gun in the review here,
i.e. absolutely astounding.
Here is the list.
- 1911 R1 45ACP BLK 5" (96323) (currently unavailable) - yes, after rebate you are getting this gun for the price of an Armscor GI 1911!
- 1911 R1 200th Anniversary Edition (96496) (currently unavailable)
- 1911 R1 Enhanced Commander 45ACP 4.25" (96359) (currently unavailable)
- 1911 R1 Carry (96332) (currently unavailable)
- 1911 R1 Hunter 10mm 6" (96679) (currently unavailable)
Ruger 1911
In other news we have just received the new Ruger 1911 - also in 10mm. These ones come
with Davidson's Lifetime Replacement Warranty.
Price: $969.95 (special order)
Sig Sauer
Sig's MAP policies are absolutely draconian, we are prohibited from even mentioning their prices on social media.
But if you are in the market for this 1911 Olive Drab "Griffin"...
...or this P220...
...or this P938...
...you will save big bucks - in some cases, hundreds - over the Internet (MAP) prices.
We also have tons of P224 in stock for really, really cheap.
Shields! Shields! Shields!
We have a bunch of Shields, we've lowered prices on most of them to $359.95, and on top of this there is a $75 rebate that expires in just a couple of days.
We also have a couple of Bodyguards in stock. Price: $359.95 (special order) with $50 mail-in rebate.
AR receivers
We have the best local deals on AR-15 receivers.
- Noreen Firearms BBN-223 $39.95 (in stock) - yes, this is billet AR-15 receiver for under $40. True story.
- Anderson AM15 $49.95 (in stock)
- Aero Precision X15 $114.99 MAP (special order)
- Ruger (currently unavailable)
- Aero Precision Mod. M5 (308) $209.99 MAP (special order)
Of course after you bought the receiver you also want to visit our AR-15 parts store. We have by far
the biggest AR-15 parts collection in Seattle area.
Mossberg Shockwave
The hottest shotgun around here - and we have it cheaper than anyone else!
Price: $444.95 (special order)
Remington shotguns
We've got a bunch of really good deals on Remington 870 Express shotguns, some way below wholesale.

extension.

- 5.56NATO (currently unavailable)
- 6mm Credmoor (currently unavailable)
Cheap-cheap-cheap AR-15s

We also have an awesome deal on Smith & Wesson M&P-15 Sport II:
$724.95 (special order)
...and last but not least - the new Colt CE2000 Heavy Barrel. Can you own a real Colt AR-15 (the one and only REAL AR-15,
as Colt owns the trademark) for under $600? Yes, you can!
