Brent: I had been looking at this rifle for quite some time, and the original price when it was at Champlain was quite reasonable $3995, but more than I wanted to put in it. The gun was sold over 6 mos. ago to someone, even though [amazingly] Champlain's ad is still up on G.I. I located the private owner accidently a while ago and he was trying to make money on the rifle. Later this week, I saw the rifle listed once again, at a much lower price and had a credit with the company. So with another reduction, on top of the FIRST large reduction and my credit applied and free shipping, I just couldn't let it pass by.
