    Thanks for the update!
    no when the dollar is low the price are high and when the dollar is high well the price is still high.

    I would like to take a moment of your time now, rather than have to reply to several individual queries.

    Lets take a moment to look at the facts
    There have not been any price increases on these products for at least seven (7) years....

    Our customers were not happy in the past with the "Chinese mystery wood" used for the stocks of these rifles, we had that changed at the factory and our current inventory reflects the changeover to hard wood with a nice grain, this costs extra....

    The factory increased their prices an average of $50.oo per rifle....

    When we signed the order the Canadian dollar was $1.01 against it's US counterpart, when we paid for the shipment it was $0.92cts, a 9% difference....

    Over the past 5 years shipping has increased by 70%....

    Nobody likes to see increases, we at Marstar know that, we have done our best to hold the line and we made every effort to have our manufacturers share the burden....

    I really don't think our increased prices are that much out of line ??

    Thank you for your continued support

    John

    Price increases are understandable.....Thanks for keeping us informed....Take Care.

    John, is that 1:12" twist figure correct? I am in no way second guessing you, but 1:12" seems very, very slow for .223.
