What a Ripoff
I have ordered a lot of things over the years from Midway. I normally did not shop a lot-I just assumed I was getting a decent price. UNTIL NOW.
I need a Warne 1 piece 20MOA base for a short action Remington. I went to Midway to order it. Their price was $104 dollars. PLUS shipping and handling. For a total of (I am not sure)???
I called a local small dealer I do business with and asked him to get me a price. Guess what his price was???? $63.75. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT. Midway wanted $40 more, plus S&H. I am done with Midway!!! Tom.

It's always good to shop around. I shop through Mid-Way too and they don't always have the best prices. It's like that anywhere. I like to buy locally so I can see what I'm buying. and no shipping cost.

I try to find what I need at Graf's, as their prices may be slightly higher, but shipping is free. So it works out in the long run. But the difference in price you found is significant!!

RE: What a Ripoff
That why you surf the net and compare prices between Midway,Midsouth Shooters Supplies,Graff and Sons,Natchez Shooters Supplies,Cabelas and many more to find the best deal. I normally shop local but sometimes they don't have what I need and sometimes they take forever seems like to get what you need. I just ordered a box of Berger 150gr. 270 cal. bullets from Midway and will be here today.
