I don't know if this is it or not , but most stores, after the Christmas-New Years sales, do not restock a lot because that runs them into Inventory time. The more stock they have the more tax they pay. I bought a rifle in Dick's Dover in Dec. and got a good deal. I may have been able to beat it on-line, but I don't buy on-line. I want to see it and hold it before I keep it. That's how I got my wife and we've been together for over 50 years.
