Weekly Deals From Around the Firearms Industry, Hunting Edition

Leaves are starting to fall and the temperatures are dropping, and for hunters everywhere, this time of year is all about the boys of fall– whitetail deer. Changing things up this week, we will not only focus on hunting specific deals, but we will be looking at one retailer in particular who I found to have a variety of good deals. With stores in 16 states and online shopping available, Academy Sports and Outdoors gives people from different areas great options for getting the hunting or shooting gear they need.

GUNS

Academy has several rifles on sale this week from makers such as Marlin, Mossberg, and Thompson Center but my favorite deal is on the Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor. This is a good hunting rifle and for only $429.99 it won't break the bank, either.

OPTICS

Academy is offering up to $30 instant savings on eligible Nikon Optics including rangefinders and scopes now through 11/09/2019.

AMMO

Gonna pick up one of those rifles on sale? Academy has great deals on Winchester and Remington Ammo in 30-30, Winchester Deer Season ammo in various calibers, Federal Premium Buckmasters ammo, and Hornady Precision Hunter in 6.5 Creedmoor.

GEAR

As far as gear is concerned, they have a little bit of everything on sale. For a more detailed and complete list of what is on sale, check out their weekly ad here. Additionally, my favorite deal this week on gear is definitely their offer of up to 30% off of Game Winner Stands.

There’s a sea of deals, which makes it impossible to find everything, but if you have a deal you’d like to feature on RECOILweb, email us at recoil@recoilweb.com.
