If your wallet has been feeling a little too heavy lately, we’ve got just the cure. Welcome to Saving Season here at Wholesale Hunter! While most people are out there sweating over lawn mowers and melting popsicles, the savvy shooters are looking at the calendar and realizing that summer is the absolute best time to upgrade the arsenal.
Between Father’s Day, the Fourth of July, and the general "because I want it" spirit of June, manufacturers are throwing cash back at you like it’s going out of style. We’ve rounded up the best rebates, promos, and gear-up deals to make sure you get the most bang (literally) for your buck. From premium 1911s to the most reliable hunting rifles on the market, here is everything you need to know to save big this summer.
The "Hurry Up" Special: HK Magapalooza
We’re starting with the emergency siren because time is officially running out. If you’ve been eyeing a Heckler & Koch VP9A1 X, you have exactly until May 31st to make the purchase and qualify for the HK Magapalooza.
That is just two days from now! If you pull the trigger (pun intended) on a new VP9A1 series handgun, you get $150 in HK Bucks. For the uninitiated, HK Bucks are like golden tickets for their webshop. You can use them for magazines, optic plates, holsters, or even some fresh HK swag to wear to the range.
HK magazines aren't exactly known for being "budget-friendly," so getting $150 to stock up on 20-rounders is a massive win. Don't be the guy who waits until June 1st and has to pay full price for his mags. Grab the VP9A1 X – SKU 11744589 today and get that rebate submitted by the end of June!
Freedom & Firepower: The Kimber 2K11 Independence
Nothing says "Happy Birthday, America" quite like a high-capacity .45 Auto with a custom Cerakote finish. Kimber is celebrating the season with the 2K11 Independence Centennial Promotion, and it’s a heavy hitter.
From now until July 4th, when you pick up the limited-edition Kimber 2K11 Independence, you are eligible for a $250 Cash Rebate. Yes, you read that right: actual cash back in your pocket. This isn't store credit; it's a "go buy a mountain of ammo" check.
The 2K11 is Kimber’s modern take on the double-stack 1911 platform, giving you that legendary trigger and ergonomics with the capacity you actually want. This specific limited-edition model features a striking finish and all the premium bells and whistles Kimber is known for. Check out the Kimber 2K11 Independence – SKU 11744835 and make your Fourth of July range trip one to remember.
The Ultimate Combo: Springfield Armory Model 2020 Gear Up
Springfield Armory isn't just doing a rebate; they are doing a full-blown gear upgrade. If you’ve been looking for a reason to jump into the long-range game, the 2026 Gear Up for Model 2020 is it.
When you purchase a select new Springfield Armory Model 2020 rifle: whether it’s the Waypoint, the Boundary, or the Redline: you can receive a FREE XD-M® Elite 10mm pistol. We’re talking about a $1,995 value sweepstakes entry, but more importantly, a guaranteed free sidearm for your backcountry adventures.
The Model 2020 Waypoint has been sweeping the "Rifle of the Year" awards for a reason. It offers custom-grade accuracy in a production rifle, featuring carbon fiber barrels and stocks that make it a dream to carry in the field. And having a 16+1 capacity 10mm on your hip while you’re out hunting? That’s called peace of mind. This deal runs all the way through August 31st, so you have time to choose your caliber, but why wait for hunting season to start?
Father’s Day Savior: Savage Axis Rebates
Father’s Day is right around the corner (June 21st, don’t forget!), and if you want to be the favorite child, a new rifle is a much better gift than another "World's Best Dad" mug.
Savage is running their Father’s Day Axis Promo, offering a $75 mail-in rebate on any AXIS, AXIS II, or AXIS 2 rifle purchased between May 15th and June 30th. The Axis series has long been the gold standard for budget-friendly accuracy. They are the perfect "first rifle" for a youngster or a reliable "truck gun" for a seasoned hunter. With $75 back, you’re basically getting the rifle for a steal.
The Beretta Bounty: 1301, A300, and Beyond
Beretta is going big this summer with a multi-tiered rebate program that covers everything from tactical shotguns to high-end clay crushers. Depending on what you buy, you can choose between a Visa Prepaid Card or even more Beretta Bucks to spend on their site.
- 1301 Tactical / Comp: Get $200 back (Visa) or $300 Beretta Bucks. The 1301 is arguably the fastest-cycling tactical shotgun on the market. If you want the ultimate home defense tool, this is it.
- A300 Patrol: Get $150 back (Visa) or $250 Beretta Bucks. The Patrol is the rugged, reliable younger brother of the 1301, and at this price point with the rebate, it’s a no-brainer.
- A400 Xcel: Get $200 back (Visa) or $300 Beretta Bucks. If you spend your weekends at the sporting clays range, the A400 is the gold standard for semi-auto performance.
- 694 Series: Feeling fancy? Grab a 694 and get $400 back (Visa) or $500 Beretta Bucks.
Summer Shooting Staples: Winchester & Browning
Finally, for the traditionalists and the rimfire fans, Winchester and Browning are teaming up for a summer savings event that runs through June 21st.
Winchester is offering $50 back on their most popular long guns. Whether you need a new deer rifle like the Winchester XPR in 6.5 PRC, a rugged waterfowl tool like the SXP Hybrid Hunter – SKU 11549589, or a fun range plinker like the Wildcat or Xpert .22LR, that $50 rebate makes a great deal even better.
Browning is also joining the party with up to $75 back on their firearms. This includes legends like the Browning A5 Hunter 20ga. The A5 is the humpback shotgun we all grew up loving, now updated with modern reliability. Whether you’re chasing upland birds or breaking clays, a Browning is a lifetime investment.
