Re: Des Moines IA gun shops
Gabe's guns in Williamsburg has a good choice of tactical style rifles. Bushmaster, S&W, DPMS, FN and the like. That might be a bit of a drive for you though.
Gordy is more of a smith. I am not sure if he carries a lot of rifles in stock. He comes highly recommended among the benchrest crowd though.

Re: Des Moines IA gun shops
Thanks for the suggestions. I had some time to burn, so I went into Scheels. I have been toying with the idea of buying a fast twist (relatively speaking, factory barrel) bolt gun in 223. They had a new 700 SPS Tactical in 223 on sale for $499, so I snapped it up. Out the door it was $488 when you factor in tax and the $40 rebate that Remington has through the end of the year. I think I scored, now it is time to replace the stock and start working up some loads.

Re: Des Moines IA gun shops
just hope and pray that remington actually follows through on the rebate.
standard practice for them to decide someone didn't file it exactly like they wanted, or (as in my case) they'll just flat out lie and refuse to honor it.
