This is probably been out for a few days but here are some of the highlights that I thought were interesting:

1) H&R Protector 12 GA Shotgun with 5 round capacity for $179.99
2) Ruger AirHawk Air Rifle in 0.177 for $98.99 - this is a steal
3) Clearance on last generation Gamo Delta Youth Air Rifle in 0.177 for $50
4) Rossi 357 Mag 3-in Revolver for $250

I'm probably overlooking the real gun and ammo deals there but my knowledge of "good" prices is pretty limited at this point.

I will say the above air rifles are solid for such low prices. The Ruger AirHawk is a clone of the RWS Diana 54 34 - and it's no where close to the German inspiration but is a competent and strong pellet gun in it's own right. Owners report good accuracy with it after break in period. The Gamo Delta is a good choice for youngsters to start with a low powered (if twangy) Spanish built pellet gun and is a great gift at only 50 bucks.
