Very few items in that category. I've also noticed lately that some of their highly promoted "special sales" feature prices at or above the normal price at 5-10 other retailers.
Likewise, I never used to buy from Brownells due to MSRP+ pricing and high shipping, but they have fixed both and it is far more competitive now. And I get free shipping and/or 10% off offers from Brownells every week by email.
100% agreed. Brownells is now what Midway once was but even better.
