Figure in these rough times We can all use a Good Luck Story
Told My Grandson he must be living right for sure. He is a fine young man with a VERY respctful attitude and a Great heart. An avid shooter and handloader. I know I know that is what all Proud PaPa's say LOL He now 23 had been planning on getting a 6PRC and new scope. Well he has been working since 16 and has always been good with his money. He now has what I call a "Big Boy Job" in maintinance at large local plant.
He told me about the local Sportsman's Warehouse Balloon Pop. First 200 Customers get a Balloon ( 2 Balloons if you are a rewards member). Once you check out and it is rang up, the balloon is popped and your discount % is revealed. It can be from 5% to 100% you never know until you check out and once popped nothing can be added.
Well He must have felt REAL lucky today, because he purchased a Christensen Arms 6.5 PRC MPR (Modern Precision Rifle) and a Nightforce SHV 5-25x56. Rang up to around $4000.00 . Then the Balloon was Popped and (Happy Days) 100 % discount! So he walked out the door with BOTH for absolutely NOTHING
Just a note of Irony, His Fiancee wasn't at the register when he rang up so she had to pop her own balloon 5% discount, well still not bad she only had $63.00 worth.
**********TOLD him to be sure and get Lottery Ticket on the way home LOL**********
So now He tells me I am in need of 6.5PRC brass & dies, So I smile and post a wanted post (Got to LOVE THOSE GRANDBABIES)
Safe shooting

Forum Boss: Here is a previous ad for the Balloon pop event at another Sportsman's Warehouse. Note the max value was $5000.00, so Tred1956's grandson did very well indeed!
