Yeah these prices are getting kinda crazy, to the point where most people will just be priced out. Not that companies care, as long as product is selling out. It's like how new trucks are unaffordable for most at this point, but there are still none available lol.Locally last week our LGS had a couple at $1650, while the owner was placing a Stoeger order he asked if a guy wanted to see what they were worth now. Looking online I see the 1301 at $2000 currently.
I bought a private sale 1301 with upgrades (sga stock + adapter for it, SJ mag extension, vortex crossfire) for $1600 less than three months ago. As soon as I heard about this A300 coming out, I thought "well that was a stupid purchase, could have got pretty much the same thing for way cheaper with the A300". Yeah, nope. Definitely don't regret the purchase now lol
