This thread has over 11,000 views , and over 150 posts , and I really do not understand what all the fuss is about . The OP is a dealer , and of course needs to make money to keep his business going . It is a private business , not a non-profit charity . The OP has the rifles for sale , they are his , and he is free to charge whatever price he sees fit . If the consumer feels the price is to high , they do not need to buy. It is the free enterprise market system at work . At $300 , I do not really find the price excessive for a new , non-refurbed rifle.....I am sure the OP will sell them all . In short , if you like the rifle and price , then buy ; if the price is a little too steep , then do not buy....if the OP can make a decent profit , all the more power to him.....maybe he can grow his business , and add a few more Canadian jobs....
