The only time I bought new
Was when I was getting a staff discount at WSS. Most manufacturers had a once a year plan where you could get up to 50% off or at least 40% below retail. I bought a lot of Brownings, Tikkas and even Sakos in those years but I bought a new Leupold every year whether I had a rifle needing one or not.
Perhaps it is because the current production rifles and shotguns dont interest me from a quality point of view that I generally set out to find an oldie goldie. Sometimes it can take 3 years like my 687 28 gauge or other times a ZKK Brno just happens to fall in my lap.
