The police models don't come up that often, especially the 308's. I'd say the price is reasonable given the extra mags. I personally prefer the plain jane 7600 mags, and a little longer pipe. I think 20" would be perfect, or maybe the 18.5" if you can find an old one. I had an 06 carbine, and found it too have too much muzzle blast for my liking. If you want one cheaper find a plain 760/7600, and bob the barrel. They come up often enough at or under the $400 mark. Plus I prefer a wood stock but that's just me again.
