I know guys on this forum have gotten some sweet deals the past couple of years on Savage bolt action rifles, so I thought this deal might be of interest. If you live near a Rural King store, you can click here and get a Mossberg ATR .30-06 for $219. It has to be ordered online and can be shipped either to an FFL or to a Rural King store. If shipped to the store and you pick it up, there is no additional FFL fee. There is, however, a $12.99 shipping fee to get it to the store. With tax and the shipping fee, my order came to $246.
So, is this a new .30-06 for $200? Not quite. But for $246 including the FFL transfer, I couldn't pass it up. Wish they'd offered the deal in a different caliber, but it appears the clearance price is only on the .30-06.
I didn't realize Mossberg had been making this rifle so long, but I found posts about the ATR going back to 2005 or 6. There were some initial problems with the firing pin, but apparently those have been resolved. Before ordering I should have checked Brownell's to see if replacement parts are available, but I didn't. Will do that and maybe update this post with what I discover.
