Three Foot Johnson Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 ... tent? The chain I work for "used to" carry these, until tonight... we originally sold them for $399.00, then disco'd them and marked them down to $249.97, then down to $99.66, and today there was an additional 20% off that. I decided to buy two of them, and I haven't used a tent in, oh... eighteen years now. A quick check online shows them as high as ~$550. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullett Sass 19707 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Are you sure they are 97s? Reason I ask there was a 93 winchester copy sold by big 5. They were designed for CAS but are not SASS legal. You can shoot them at you loacal match but not in a state or higher match.

WEEDY SASS#653 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I think you did well. Looks like a nice tent. I looked online to see just what you were talking about and the prices were 448.00-550.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muleshoe Bill SASS #67022 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I paid 350 for mine. It is not a bad tent. I prefer my bigger wall canvas tent for cold weather , but the 97 is much lighter and works fine. In a heavy rain or prolonged rainy weather, I set a large tarp up over it to keep most of the rain off and it works to keep the interior much less prone to drips.

Danite SASS #27034 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I don't get it. Ya see, it is a play on two things. Winchester and model 97. Winchester makes all kinds of outdoor gear, or at least license the name. Things other than guns have model numbers. This tent is a winchester model 97 tent. Not a model 97 shotgun which they assume everyone will be expecting. If ya have to explain it then it isn't funny anymore....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasty Newt # 7365 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I get it now. If somebody sells a '57 Chevy tent, it's funny. And if you have to explain it, it ain't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleWolf Brunelle, #2495L Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Howdy Newt, This post is a reading comprehension exercise. The '93 model has already been mentioned...it's only a matter of time before the Marlin proponents chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go ahead and give ya' chain a plug and maybe or maybe not, we will buy one or three. Shenny I know this is not a commercial plug but it is fun.

Three Foot Johnson Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Wholesale Sports, formerly Sportsman's Warehouse stores, but there aren't any left in any of our stores now. A decent tent at over 80% off... they didn't last long. They wanted 'em GONE by year's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake River Clay SASS #34984 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The 93/97 tent has a larger opening. The Model 12 tent has a hammer for the pegs rolled up in the canvas. (internal hammer) The Marlin tent was prone to failure and not allowed at SASS shoot camping areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 I'm 6'4"/310... I wonder if the "Big Boy" would be a good choice? It's legal at local sites, but can I use it in National Parks campgrounds too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
