Taking a deposit for a product is entering into a contract in the eyes of the competition bureau. Can't help you with your drunk idiots question.
Regardless, it probably shouldn't be a very big increase.
Hey guys, yes the cost has increased, and the MSRP has increased to $1549.99 as well. Anyone who has a pre-order is getting the originally agreed upon price of $1499 from Reliable Gun. We started contacting people last night now that we have a confirmed # of rifles we are getting in our first batch. If you received a call from us, please get back to us to provide a deposit if you haven't already and were on the wait list to lock in your pricing and order. We are working on getting another batch to fulfill the rest of the wait list, but haven't received confirmation on it yet. If you have any questions, please drop us an email at orders@reliablegun.com
Regards
Warren
