90% of the time when cabelas and midway mark items as discontinued it's in regards to them no longer carrying it in store or in their product line up, it doesn't mean that it's been discontinued by the manufacturer, Sadly, it's their way of making you think it's no longer available anywhere so you'll buy something else they have in stock. We have a couple canadian retailers that drop their prices significantly when the item is out of stock, you'd be hard pressed to find it at that low a price, so they hope you hold off buying it until they get their stock levels back up, and that's when they jack the price back up to match everyone else.......the worst offender has an X on their company name and they specialize in reloading gear and components.......as a customer, it's your duty to be vigilant..........
