Title: Highway robbery
Post by: RiverRoost on February 04, 2015, 09:32:18 PM
I'm all about shopping local and supporting the little man but a screwing is a screwing. Longbeard xr's in macks, $22.99; longbeards at my local hunting store,$35.95. Giving a few extra dollars to the local man is ok w me but that's a little much!

They must be confusing them with the old tungsten based XRs.

I would hope!  That is a huge mark up if not!


God Bless

Or perhaps he/she has to buy them from a supplier instead of direct thus his/her cost is more resulting in a higher retail price.

Trust me your little guy, wants to be able to be more competitive. But his buying power and overhead won't allow that.

This is a decent sized hunting that orders from brownells and several other places. They are usually a little higher on things but this was WAYY out.
