X2,MSRPs on new guns are fairly consistant from one dealer to the next......but with many vendors under one roof,depending how eager they are to move stock,might be some wiggle room,or throw in good pkg deal on scope/rings/sling etc.??More significantly,shows are good opportunity to find gently used guns,compare price and condition to what else is there etc.If you've done your homework ahead of time and know what you want and what you are willing to pay,used gun prices are more negotiable than new guns.
Just having many vendors under one roof alone can save you a ton of time and gas from running all over hell's half acre to "save" 50 bucks?
And last but not least,being in a room full of guns and gun enthusiasts is just plain fun day of manly shopping....GO TO SHOW!
