Not to upset anyone. But anyone in retail knows the MSRP only serves to allow the retailer to calculate their cost without actually telling them their cost.

For example an MSRP of $799.00 with an A discount means the dealer cost is 399.50 (plus shipping and whatever taxes and duties are applied). An MSRP with a B discount means the dealer cost is $479.40 ( (plus shipping and whatever taxes and duties are applied).

In normal retail (like clothing and such) markup is usually like 100% to 300%. The furniture and electronics (including computers) is closer to since digit margin like 8 or 9% because of companies like the brick who make most of their money in volume and kickbacks from HFC. In the musical instrument market, it is usually 20% to 25%. In firearms it is likely closer to the musical instrument market of 20%. In the USA, anyone selling at $724.99 with an MSRP of 799 is really making a large margin, whereas in Canada, the same cannot be said to be true since the Canadian dealer, although they should be paying the same dealer cost will have to pay a lot of extra fees like for import permits, brokerage, etc., etc.. That is why when we see a price in Canada on firearms close to the US MSRP we think that it is good, this is by no fault of the retailer. The MSRP of this firearm speaking in terms of canada, and what the US margin would be should be closer to $1099.00.

Computers haven't seen margins even in the high single digits for at least 5 years. Now it's a break even thing if you are lucky.

So as not to derail, I'm interested to read reviews of this gun. Good price, and from a bigger brand.

Any updates.

Stop whining and let these guys do their job and wait for your credit card to be billed like the rest of us. See enough of this on other pre order sites.

Whine - To complain or protest in a childish, annoying fashion

Yes simmer please. If Murdoc has got a problem with a customer asking for updates then I'm sure he will chime in. He doesn't need you to go off on someone for wondering if there is any news.
It was different with the Marstar Norc shipment cause people were asking almost everyday.
