Good Deal?

[lucky4034]

Purchased a remington 700 youth .243 for $348 out the door...did I get as good a deal as I think?

I bought it at Walmart... I've been looking for a cheap 700 reciever all over the interwebz and the cheapest I've come across is about $550. The salesperson said that it has been sitting on the shelf since 2005. The price back then was $370 bucks but since it has set so long, they reduced the sticker to $325.

Thoughts?

Sounds like a pretty good deal as long as the receiver and barrel are to your liking. Sounds like someone has a project up their sleeves.

If it's a REAL Rem 700 action... Then you got a smoking deal.

Especially if all you were after was the action to use in another rifle build!

A shame that the .243 can't be used on whitetails here in IN. That little youth rifle would make a GREAT deer stalker. (yes, It CAN be used on and during depredation permit culling, just not general firearms hunting season)

that is a crazy good deal even for a youth, I just bought a 700 in .308 for 530 and I was very happy at that price

It came with the owners manual and all the serial numbers and such.....

I hate to purchase a gun from Walmart as I'd rather support a LGS or even an online gun store... but at that price I didn't want to pass it up.

Can't wait to get it out and run a few rounds through it. Leave it to Walmart to be completely out of .243 lol
