when it comes to buying these cheap rifles cheaper, you have to really check Dicks,cabela's,bass pro often. Also go to manufactures web site or google "marlin rebates". I always ask for sporting goods gift cards for gifts...my buddy bought one last Xmas also and after all was said in down with rebates,coupons,sales ect ect He walked out the door with gun,scope,ammo for under 125.00.
Other things to consider to make a few extra bucks.
What I offer only will apply if you PAY you CC bill off every month so absolutely no interest is applied.
My CC gives me 2% back on all purchases. I buy almost everything needed for the home+ my weekly gas with this card. I get aprox 50$/month cash back not a lot but its 50 bucks that would have been gone other wise. 300 bucks to date......bought some reloading supplies.
