Police Trade-in, Hot Deals, and Bulk Ammo: Three Unique Ways to Save on Your Next Purchase

Police Trade-in, Hot Deals, and Bulk Ammo: Three Unique Ways to Save on Your Next Purchase

29th Feb 2024

Bucking Horse Outpost is all about getting you the brands you love at affordable prices so you can keep hunting, competing, and enjoying range therapy, or whatever other shooting discipline you enjoy.

We carry plenty of top brands at regular retail prices - Winchester, Remington, CCI, TulAmmo, MaxxTech, Venom, Speer, Norma, and so on and so forth.

But we also offer a bunch of ways for you to score a great deal, without jumping through any hoops.

The three best ways we offer our customers deals are through our sales, police-trade in specials, and bulk ammo deals.

Here’s what you need to know.

Police Trade-in Deals

                                Police Trade-in

If you’ve never shopped police trade-in deals before, there’s no time like the present. But first, a word of explanation.

Basically, police trade-in specials are the deals that retailers offer after coming by a large amount of ammo (or other firearms or tactical gear) that they purchase from police departments.

Oftentimes police departments end up with way too much ammo or issued equipment, which they sell to retailers at a discount in exchange for a better deal on new ammo or equipment, and oftentimes less of it.

This gives the retailers that acquire the police trade-ins a large surplus of ammo and other equipment, often high-quality and lightly used, if at all.

Shopping police trade-in specials here (or anywhere) is one of the cheat codes to save on top brands and ammo, and often you don’t even need to buy bulk quantities to get those deals. You just need to be in the right place at the right time.

All the same, don’t sleep on a police trade-in deal. It might be here today, but it could just as easily be gone tomorrow, and these deals don’t replenish themselves, so if you find a good deal, strike while the iron is hot .

By the way, when you’re shopping, look out for “LE” trade-in, too. That stands for law enforcement and it basically means the same thing.

(Here’s another insider tip for you. Police trade-in deals elsewhere can also be a great way to get lightly-used, very well-maintained firearms at ridiculously low prices. Many police rarely fire their service weapons except when qualifying and in rare instances when training or in the line of duty. If you can find a collection with police trade-in firearms, take a good look through it.)

Hot Deals

In addition to police trade-in specials, we also offer our own classes of “hot deals” here on our website with the intention of scoring our customers the best deals the industry can afford.

Some of our hot deals are actually also police trade-in specials. Some are bulk deals. Others are just one-offs. But it hardly matters. What matters is this section of our website is a place where you can consistently get good deals on great brands and lines of ammo.

Plus, you never know what you’ll find there. So bookmark the page and make sure you stop back from time to time so you never miss a great deal.

Bulk Ammo

There’s one more great way to score a deal on ammo here at Bucking Horse Outpost, and it’s the best one yet. This one is to shop our bulk ammo deals.

Bulk ammo deals are exactly what they sound like. You buy a whole load of ammo, and it drives down the per-unit cost.

Just how much you can save depends on how in demand the caliber is, as well as on the regular cost of the brand. Also, how much you can save per round is also a product of how much you buy. The more you buy, the more you save.

Our bulk ammo deals mirror our regular ammo deals, just at better prices. We carry .223 bulk ammo, .22LR bulk ammo, 9mm bulk ammo, and other popular calibers, including but not limited to .308 Win, .357 Magnum, .38 Special, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and even 12 gauge shells.

The other great thing about our bulk ammo deals is that the same grand brands and lines are in our bulk collections, so you don’t have to compromise if you’re a brand loyalist. You just need to shop smart.

All you have to do now is find the brand and caliber you want, make sure you have a cool, dry place to store it, and stock up.

Start Saving at Bucking Horse Outpost

Don’t restrict yourself to one of the above-mentioned outlets if you’re trying to save money on range time. Shopping opportunistically by not limiting yourself is actually the best way to do it. Buy in bulk where possible, and shop the deals at other times. These are just a few of the things you can do to keep overall costs of enjoying the shooting sports down.
