[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1675664, member: 3099"] When I was looking for an M1A I had been seeing one on the shelf on a few different trips in there. Seems they always had one model or another in there and it was a different gun every time in. I was looking for an M1A Loaded model. When I got the money together I went out there but stopped at H&H on the way. They had one M1A National Match and that was it. So I headed over to Savage to check out what they had. Turns out he didn't have one at all on this trip, but he said he could get one in 1 to 3 weeks since he was a 5 star Springfield dealer. Remember this was during the glut when you couldn't find anything "military looking", everything was flying off the shelves and I wasn't seeing anything at Bud's online either and hadn't been for some time. So I had him price me one out. He told the price and I asked him if he was sure that he was looking at the Loaded model and told him that H&H had the NM for several hundred less than the price he just quoted me. He double checked it and said yes that was it and that's the best that he could do and he advised me to go get the NM. He even showed me his price on his computer. His markup wasn't even close to being out of line. This conversation was all matter of fact and not pretentious at all. I told him I appreciated his effort and honesty. And then I did what he said and went over to H&H and put that NM they had on layaway with a large down payment that would have bought a loaded outright just a couple of weeks earlier. Went back a couple weeks later and picked it up. Hadn't been out there in awhile, but they used to have some decent deals during the glut. On ammo he usually had some when the Walmart shelves were bare and he might have been a little high but it wasn't too bad. And he had it which was the big deal at the time. [/QUOTE]
