Big 5 has some pretty decent weekly shotgun prices and I do pick up ammo there sometime as well.
Lately, they have been getting some very good condition yugo 24/47 Mausers. I missed the $129 ad special since they sold the only one they had last week, but the manager at the store near me is cool and told me he'd sell the next shipment's mauser at the ad price. So I came in to see if the condition was good for $129 and they also had a sale on a russiam M44 mosin bolt action carbine for $79. This rusky carbine thing is basically new 1946 post war either never issued or rebuilt. this is the cheapest firearm I have ever purchased.
So I got two high powered rifles for $200. saved a few bucks since you can put up to 4 longguns on a background check.
I can't tell you much more 'cause the 10 day wait in this state.
anyways, I had no idea that I was looking for a russian rifle, but that is as close to free as you can get for a gun. links below for similar models. I think I'll look into getting an SKS too...just because.
