TAL's Latest Issue No. 6

[SinisterKid76]

Just received my issue in the mail today and noticed something on it that was not on the first five.
A $8.99 price tag.
Wonder if we will start seeing these on the magazine racks?
Interesting...

While it’s a good magazine, for me, not worth $8.99, no magazine to me is worth that much for a single issue

I think I have only received one of these in the mail.

It is a little steep for a 96 page rag that is mostly full of advertisements.
Hopefully my so far "free" subscription won't run out for a while because I do enjoy them. LoL

I got lucky. Right after I purchased my Hellcat and registered it on SA.com, they offered the first 4 issues and I have been getting them ever since.
I have purchased a few since the Hellcat and each time I register the new one, I make sure to hit the send me TAL magazine button.

Have you guys priced magazines lately. $8.99 isn't all that bad when compared to other narrowly taylored magazines. For example Bass Player Magazine will cost you about $4.50/issue if you pay for a year subscription.

SA mgt previews the stories in the mag here.

With my 2 year subscription to Recoil, they are about $7.50 an issue and they are packed with all sorts of information.
$8.99 wouldn't be a deal breaker for me but considering the amount of content and the fact you can preview it all here or the website, they could lower that price point a little, in my opinion.
Regardless I do hope they continue to put them out. A lot of good stuff in them.

I just assume the $8.99 off the rack price is meant for the general public and not really for people on this forum.

I get Guns & Ammo and Shooting Times magazine for $9.00 a year each, 12 issues, and Guns Magazine for $15.00 for 12 issues

Its for IRS tax purposes and the bean counters. They have to assign value for the “books” and P&L statements. Nothing less, nothing more.
We all know rags get discounted.
I wouldnt put to much stock in that price

 

[Annihilator]

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good magazine and it’s pretty cool that Springfield gives you a year of them at no charge, I was just saying in my opinion, no mag is worth that price, but that’s me

That makes total "cents"...

I use an app on my tablet that I can sometimes find some really good deals on magazines scripts. Not the same as having one in your hand as they are digital downloads, but it works.
