Thread: Should I wait... (rifle purchase)

There isn’t really a seasonal dip, except maybe in the bigger stores during june when they clear stock for end of financial year reasons. @Coop may be able to confirm/deny/expand on that. At any rate, best time to buy is when you see something that

a- works
b- fits
c- you like
d- you can afford

If A through C are all fulfilled, it won’t matter what you buy afterward, that rifle will be one you keep hunting with.

I have found that gun shop staff can be a bit funny when they don’t know you, but once that relationship is established it’s good.
It is far better than shopping somewhere like JB Hifi/Bunnings where the sales assistant comes and asks if they can help, when you ask a question about something you’re holding and have already read all the writing on the packet, they start reading the writing before trying to answer your question.
