Is this the same Remington Express Hunter, break barrel, pellet rifle, other than the high powered spring/piston? https://www.cabelas.ca/product/150178/r ... -air-rifle That Princess Auto sells at it's regular (always on sale) price of $99.99: https://www.princessauto.com/en/remingt ... 0008904518 Could someone please explain, why the difference in price (of $180)? Princess Auto has been selling it at $99.99 for more than a year (when they can get stock in). Seems to sell out as soon as they get it in. Cabela's has just listed it as a new item, at the price $279.99. Maybe it pays to occasionally look around. My airgun repairer told me to wait for sales at Cabela's. |

Nobody here is going to have the answer to why. But maybe Crosman struck a deal with PA, and offered them blow out prices to move them. Honestly I wouldn't pay over 150$ for any Crosman break barrel. Well one is PAL rated, and one isn't. |

Right - The only difference I see is the one Cabalas is selling is the high velocity model listed as 1,200fps with alloy .177 pellets and the one at PA is 495fps model. Two-stage adjustable trigger. Calibre: .177. Velocity: 495 FPS. Why the difference in price - that's a good question only THEY can give you the answer to, maybe. |

The PA rifles could be new old stock or refurbs. Although this is just a guess - I once bought what I thought was a BNIB Daisy 953 at TSC stores - but I found out it had a Pilkguns trigger mod done to it, so someone had it before me. It was in a factory sealed box and otherwise looked new. It seems the PA Hunter express has a long piston, see the post I started in the where to buy - it can be up-tuned somewhat, and for sure a full power ram/piston from Crosman.ca wont set you back $180+tax=$200 |

Is this the same .177 Remington Express Hunter, break barrel, w/scope, pellet rifle that Princess Auto sells at $99.99? https://www.cabelas.ca/product/134736/remington-express-hunter-177-air-rifle Could someone please explain, why the difference in price of $150.oo? Princess Auto is selling it at $99.99. Seems to sell out as soon as they get it in. https://www.princessauto.com/en/remington-express-hunter-pellet-rifle-with-scope/product/PA0008904518 Cabela's has it listed it at the price $249.99. It always pays to look around. ____________________ echo echo echo |

They are either refurbished or overstock from another supplier(canadian tire would be my guess) |

Looks like Cabela's is listening to the forum chatter. They dropped the price of the Remington Express Hunter by $100 for one day only! https://www.cabelas.ca/product/150178/r ... -air-rifle Now getting a bit closer to the $99 at PA, once you factor in cost of upgrading the piston to high power. |
