I doubt that anyone that has delt with Prophet River would ever accuse them of price gouging. With the amount of amazing sales they have, how many times they give no tax and free shipping, the discounts they give if they make even the smallest mistake with your order, there is no doubt in my mind that the wholesale price was not that far off from the retail price they offered. I guarantee you, they did not get rich off of this sale.
I'm not a white knight, live nowhere near the store, have no personal friends that own or work at PR, so have no reason to blow smoke up people's arses. I just know what I've seen on CGN and what I have encountered with them through my own purchases, and this is the first time I have ever seen anyone flame them like this. It's a shame when they give so much to our shooting community.
