I've been poking around the local Wally Worlds for the last couple of weeks, looking to see if by some weird chance one of them actually has the stainless carbine still in stock. They were selling for $169, the blue version for $147.

Wandered into a brand new one today. The blued carbines were listed for $179.

I left. Thinking on it. I recalled that two of the stores I'd cruised through last week were out of the blued carbines.

I stopped by another one today, thinking I might just have an SS ordered. The guy there had been doing their gun inventories since they had opened. He said it had been awhile since he had seen the SS, but he could special order it. He looked it up: $198.88. Now I'm wondering if there has been a price increase for new inventory, or if the new guys in the suburbs somehow thought they could price higher.

I went ahead and got the 22" SS special at $215. Made more sense than $199 for an ordinary carbine.

Anybody actually know anything?

Dicks

The local Dicks' have them in the paper the std carbine for $149.00 almost every week.

Figures that the only "Dicks" in Texas are in the Dallas area

Ww

there is one blue carbine left at my local store for $147

They had them in three of the eight Walmarts here for the $147. Guess I'll stock up cheap while I can. Could not find a stainless carbine at any WallyWorld in the area. I have now checked all but San Marcos and Taylor.

Sweet deal

So I decided to break down and get a WW Special-- the 22" stainless for a project since I could not locate any stainless carbines (which would have been $169 under the dying price scheme) and they want 198.88 to order one. So at $ 214, WTH, get the Special.

So, it turns out the last one in back arrrived damaged so they had to send it back to the factory for repair. WooHoo! 20% discount. Oh yeah, Ruger couldn't repair it, so they exchanged it for a new one.

I got the discount anyhow. Doncha just love a bureaucacy, when one of their ridiculous rules actually BENEFITS you? :angel:

Bottom line: WW Special for $172.00. I been asking lately when browsing if they have any "repaired" Rugers

BiMart

Pass,
BiMart Has them in todays paper for $139.00
Best,
Gary

Sigh. No BiMart in the Austin area. They only exist in the only other State I'd like to live in. I think I'll just go buy one last carbine at $148 at WW.
