So true. Also, if you can stop at hardware stores, pawn shops or sporting goods stores when traveling through small towns you can sometimes find good deals. Pawn shops will sometimes deal with you. Once found some 12 ga. Winchester #6 extended range HTL (tungsten matrix shot no longer made) box of 10 shells priced at $13. At a pawn shop in Statesboro Ga. Talked him down a little from that price! It closed a few months latter, but point is to take a look at even the very small stores/pawn shops.
