How verdicts are calculated
Buy Now Within 8% of the 52-week low. Prices have been lower recently but not by much. Stock up.
Good Time Below the 1-year average. Better than what most people paid in the past 12 months.
Neutral Near the historical average. Not a deal, not a ripoff. Buy what you need.
Consider Waiting More than 22% above the 52-week low. This caliber has been cheaper recently. Check back.
Data source: r/gundeals retail transaction history (2015–present) + live retailer pricing. Historical patterns don't predict the future. Supply shocks, legislation, and panic buying can move prices fast.
