Are you near Yarmouth? That's the oly CT currently selling firearms, isn't it? Bridgewater says they will soon...maybe this fall.
I met a guy online that found a Henry Golden Boy .22 at his CT in Fredericton!
Crazy.
As a fellow Bluenoser, I should point out that Ron's (Halifax/ 2660 Agricola) Army/Navy just got 20 Mosins in a couple days ago. I guess everyone is getting them in now. I assume a few containers showed up, and spread the wealth around!
The difference is, and I hate to say it but it's true unlike many online stores, Eric has held his price to cost plus 25% (he'll even show you the invoices if you pester him!) - and so my beautiful pre-war '38 Mosin, with bayo and cleaning kit today was $150, like it should be. He has some war years models as well, but I liked the '38, so I grabbed it.
With tax, in my grubby, sweating hands, it came to $172.50 - in a BOX, with Russian writing, very cool, AND with a manual. (In Russian, lol)
I know it's hard for online sellers to compete, what with shipping costs etc...but many have jacked the price of a Mosin up to the next level: $175, $195 even $225...and then PLUS shipping! Add to that the fact they have less overhead, in general, than a bricks and mortar store.
I was glad to choose my rifle personally, and pay the pre Sandy Hook price of $150. Anything much more than that is, IMO, gouging. Mosins are EVERYWHERE now, just in the past week.
Just my tuppence - yes, I'm a cheap b*stard. Have to be on my salary.
I am home on Monday, must drop in, I buy lots of things at the A+N, never knew they had Mosins!
Apparently there are a few Mosins up for grabs out at the Transcona range (can't recall the name of the place right this second). I was considering heading out there today but I stopped at Wholesale after work and accidentally bought another SVT. $249!!!!! Got a navy stocked Tula which I don't have already. There's Czech 7.62x54 for $269 a crate as well. Pretty decent prices, I asked if there were Mosins coming in, but they didn't seem to know if they'd be getting any.
I called Xtreme yesterday and they said they still had Mosin's in stock for $175.00. Going to go on an adventure this weekend and pick one up with a friend. Hopefully I make it in time

If there's still some after the weekend I might need to drop by on the way to SGF one evening. Price is decent and I have yet to check that place out.

Totally jealous! As detailed, CT out here only stocks the worst selection of overpriced hunting ammo in the West... Nosale sports in Langley has some SVTs, but they aren't out to pick through. I did pick up a 1922 hex from a private sale, but a lot more than $140!!!! Revel in the availability!
