Can you drive from Ontario to Newfoundland and back just to pick it up for less than $68???? If the answer is (obviously) NO than I think it's well worth the $68 to have it shipped. I'll pay shipping for an item that comes from somewhere only a couple hours from me because it's not worth my time and money to go pick it up myself.
Someone who complains about 68 bucks is highly unlikely to be buying a $3k rifle anyways
