[QUOTE="ducky, post: 1708244, member: 94420"] Gun shows suck here in CO as well. However, I find I can get a deal every once in a while if I'm around the last 2-4 hours of the last day of the show. My best deals have been a M700 ADL with 4X Leupold for $275, an M110 Savage in .280 for $200, and the last deal a HVA 1640 6.5-06 with Leupold M8 7.5X and VXIII 3.5-10x40 for $600. Granted I haven't been to a gunshot since 2012 because I moved over 100 miles away from the closest one, so these guys are fairly old. Before I moved out of Colorado Springs I had a pawn shop I'd buy from regularly. It wasn't a chain, just a one man shop. I bought a couple of cheap .22's off of him and some small hand tools for his full asking price. That opened the door for me as he knew I wasn't just there to look, so I bought several firearms over the years. I got a really nice rifle a time or two for a good deal and he still made money, it is called building a report with a little cash investment. It would probably work at the chain shops as well if you got the same salesperson every time to build the relationship with. [/QUOTE]
