BargainFinder 205: AccurateShooter’s Deals of the Week
At the request of our readers, we provide select “Deals of the Week”. Every Monday morning we offer our Best Bargain selections. Here are some of the best deals on firearms, hardware, reloading components, optics, and shooting accessories. Be aware that sale prices are subject to change, and once clearance inventory is sold, it’s gone for good. You snooze you lose.
1. CDNN — Weatherby Vanguard 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle, $799.99
This is a great deal — you can buy this Weatherby Vanguard Modular Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor for just $799.99 on sale. That’s less than you’d pay for most custom actions by themselves. Yes this Weatherby rifle qualifies for PRS Production class — it’s 100% within the rules.
Put the hundreds of dollars you save into optics, ammo, and a suppressor — the 20″ barrel comes pre-threaded for brake or suppressor. This rifle has a nice 2-stage trigger, and Luth AR adjustable buttstock fitted to a CNC-machined anodized aluminum chassis. Weatherby guarantees SUB-MOA accuracy with premium ammo. As tested by American Rifleman, this Weatherby has shown outstanding accuracy for a factory rifle — close to half-MOA for five shots. Three factory ammo types shot 0.53″, 0.55″, and 0.57″ respectively. That’s impressive.
2. Bruno Shooters Supply — McMillan Stock Sale, 10% Off
The name McMillan is synonymous with high quality stocks and now you’re chance to grab one on sale. Bruno Shooters Supply is running a McMillan Stock Sale on its entire inventory. That includes hunting and varmint stocks as well as McMillan Kestros and F-Class stocks. If you need a new stock and Bruno’s selection matches your action, this is a good deal.
3. Precision Reloading — Berger Bullet Sale
There’s a reason Berger bullets are so popular with competition shooters and hunters. Now you can get popular Berger projectiles at significant savings. Check out the Berger Bullet Sale going on at Precision Reloading right now. While some sizes are out of stock we were pretty impressed with the variety on available bullets and prices. We recommend you check out this sale soon — it ends August 31, 2019.
4. MidwayUSA — Tipton Gun Vise & Wheeler Driver Kit, $85.37
If you’re looking for a good deal on a gun vise we found the Tipton Best Gun Vise with a FREE Wheeler 43-piece driver kit for only $85.37. This gun vise is a versatile, highly adaptable unit that has earned praise from owners. Getting the Wheeler driver kit (a $27 value) for free makes this a deal you can’t ignore. If you want something more basic that’s easier to move around, check out the Tipton Cleaning Gun Vise for $37.99 from Midsouth — a crazy low price. Either way you can’t go wrong.
5. Sportsmans Warehouse — Vortex 6.5-20x44mm BDC, $299.99
We’ve seen Vortex scopes on crazy low prices before but they’re usually lower power models. Now you can grab a Vortex Viper 6.5-20x44mm with the BDC reticle for the amazingly low price of $299.99. Vortex offers one of the best warranties in the business, and this is an outstanding value. This scope previously sold for $429.99.
6. Fix-It Sticks — Torque Driver Kit Pre-Order, $89.50
Fix-It Sticks have been around for a while but they always required having a preset torque driver for each setting which wasn’t always convenient. That is all changing now as they are releasing an all-in-one torque driver kit. These kits are great for torquing scope bases and other parts on rifles. Pre-Order now from Fix It Sticks with Promo Code MTDP1 and you can get this kit for $89.50. That’s 20% off the normal price. Orders should ship mid-September.
7. Amazon — Long Range Shooting Handbook, $20.04
|
Ryan Cleckner’s Long Range Shooting Handbook is the best-selling modern book on practical rifle skills. Ryan Cleckner’s Long Range Shooting Handbook is designed as an intro to important fundamental concepts such as MOA vs. Mils, External Ballistics, and Environmental Effects. Included are personal tips and advice based on Cleckner’s years of experience as a sniper instructor and special operations sniper. You can view Sample Chapters on Amazon.com. The Long Range Shooting Handbook is divided into three main categories: What It Is/How It Works, Fundamentals, and How to Use It. “What It Is/How It Works” covers equipment, terminology, and basic principles. “Fundamentals” covers the theory of long range shooting. “How to Use It” gives practical advice on implementing what you’ve learned, so you can progress as a skilled, long range shooter. |
8. Midsouth Shooters Supply — New Ammo Boxes
We were excited to see that Midsouth Shooters Supply just launched a whole new selection of ammo boxes in a variety of sizes with clear tops or red tops, 50-round or 100-round capacity. These boxes are made of a high-grade plastic that ensure you’ll be using these for years to come. The quality tool-kit-style hinges allow the lids to stay open. That helps with ammo access both on the bench and at the range.
9. Amazon – Proster Wind Meter, $16.99
This Proster wind meter is a great bargain. The previous model had a very impressive 4.2 star overall rating (with 300+ reviews), and the latest version has some improvements (including a square base so it can stand). Now on sale for just $16.99, this is a very useful tool for a bargain basement price. To provide reliable wind inputs for ballistics calculations, you really do need a Wind Meter. And unlike a costly Kestrel, with this budget wind meter, you won’t feel too bad if it gets lost or misplaced.
10. Amazon — 12″ x 12″ Splatter Grid Targets, 10 for $9.99
This 12″x12″ Splatterburst Target combines splatter shot marking with a grid background, with five aiming points. The bright neon shot circles make it easy to see your shots. And the handy grid lets you quickly estimate your group size. Get a 10-pack for $9.99, or a 25-pack for $17.99 (better deal). This particular target has earned rave reviews — 87% of verified buyers gave this a FIVE-Star rating. One example: “Excellent quality and durability. The adhesive is really strong. High contrast makes down range targeting easy and the splatter contrast is [great].”
