I see Sportsmansguide.com has the Winchester 800 refurbs on sale again for $44.97 bucks. The non club member price is $49.97 Here's the link....
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/winchester-800x-177-cal-pellet-air-rifle-refurbished.aspx?a=535780
I bought one of these about a month ago and I don't know if I got lucky or not but the rifle I got looked brand new and shoots great. I made it into my truck gun and it's been deadly on starlings and a couple of other critters as well. Mine also seems to be shooting much harder than the advertised 800 FPS and the accuracy is fantastic.
If you use one of the $10 off coupons available you can get the rifle for $45 bucks including shipping, that's what I did.
Anyway, just thought I'd list it in case anyone is interested....
Oh yeah, forgot to add,,,, the picture of the rifle they show IS NOT the Winchester 800. For some reason they have the pic of the Winchester 1000 in the add. If you wanna see a pic of the 800 just look up the rifle on Pyramydair or some other site.

That's a great price. That's the good news.
Sport'sMan Guide does not ship airguns to about half the
country. Have you seen their "restricted" list? That's the bad news.
If you happen to live in the most favored status states, they have
great deals on a lot of airguns.

Where do you find the coupons?
Thanks, Jon

Ordered the Win 800 last night. Received an email this morning. Backordered until June 21 2009.... Frank
-
Yeah, they sell fast at that price.
Jeff
-
Yea If they Shipped To DElaware I would be on that! But backordered to june 21st!!! jesus! i guess at that price you can't complain
-
What a drag-- I just got an email that the backorders have been canceled as they will not be receiving any more Winchester 800x.
Thank you for your recent order for the Winchester 800x Air Rifle, item number WX2-156596
Unfortunately, we have just been notified by our vendor that we will not be receiving the item as promised.
We apologize for this inconvenience, but we will be unable to fulfill your backorder.
-
That's a shame. I bought three of them and two of the three are small one hole guns at 10m. For the money, they were hard to beat.
-
That's how I feel about the one I bought.... it's amazingly accurate and extremely powerful. What really surprised me was the trigger on mine is actually pretty decent. I hope they get some more of them, they are great shooters for the price they're sellin em at....

While the backorder for the 800x was canceled and they stated your credit card wouldn't be charged mine was. They DID refund my money-- but not all of it. I originally paid around $64 for the gun ( $49.97 + shipping, etc ). I was refunded $49.97-- not the $11 + $.99 for package protection. I called back and was told that their system was messed up and had a problem with refunding the shipping when it did automatic refunds. They told me they will refund the difference ASAP. Please check your accounts and call them if necessary.

I've dealt with their customer service a couple of times and they've always been good to deal with. I'm sure they'll make it right but it's a good thing you let us know just in case they did the same thing to anyone else who ordered one......
Jeff
-
Did the same thing to me.... I sent them an email about it. They should respond, if not, will call them. What gets me is they said it would not be charged, then I get the short refund.... I used one of my Ten Dollar coupons,,, I want that back.... Frank
-
Hi Frank, good luck with your refund. Be careful about your coupon codes. I acidentally used the same coupon twice and then my order was denied due to the coupon error. I called customer service but when the order was finally fixed the item was no longer in stock. Also, when you buy an item, they enclose a $10 coupon. These coupons can be used twice I believe. However, if you have made several orders in the same month you will recieve the same code all month. So even if you have more than two coupons with the same code, you can only use the code twice. Anyway, I am a big fan of the guide but they do need to get a few things straightened out. They stopped sending me internet deal emails two months ago and after three emails and two calls, I am still not receiving the sale emails. Oh well.
-
When I ordered my Winchester 800 last month I accidentally used a coupon code that I had already used on a prior purchase..... they sent me an email with a phone number to call and told me to call with another coupon code if I had one. Made the call and they applied the new code right away.... I was very impressed. I hope you guys get the same efficient resolve that I did.

Right now I am in a email battle with them. I used one of my membership $10 coupons and appears they don't want to give it back. The membership coupon is good on any order and the coupon they include with order is for $99 or more.. I have more than enough of those.. So we will see.... Frank
-
If you wind up needing another "member" $10 off coupon (no minimum purchase) let me know,,, I have about 7 or 8 of em that are still good....
Jeff
-
Thank you Jeff for that... I will see what they tell me tomorrow. If a email reply don't clear things I will call them.. They don't appear to be reading everything I mention in my email's..
Frank....
-
Hi Frank. I had the exact same issue but a phone call to customer service got me a new code without an order minimum. Perhaps try calling them instead of email.
-
I'll do that tomorrow,,, Thank You,,, Frank
