I finally have the wife wanting to join me shooting and she loves the Purple model. I have tried a lot of LGS and can not seem to fine one. One store said they will request one and took a $100 refundable deposit to order one. They think it will take 4-6 months maybe more to get one. The cost for the gun was $360. I saw one on gun broker for $425 plus shipping and FLL etc. Will have to see which way to go.

Probably be easier to get a regular one and have it Cerakoted.

Cabela's is a joke. I called them and they will not tell me what guns the have in stock at the stores. I have to drive to the store just to find out if they have one. If they do I can not buy it on line or over the phone and have it sent to a FFL dealer in Vegas. Since we do not have a store here it will not be on option. I just don't understand why they have a policy like that.

BobPistol,

Thank you very much. I was able to get the one on Gun Broker for $420. A little high but I need it for Mother's Day for the wife. I also called Hoffman's Guns in CT and they had 3 in the store for $329. However they would not sell to me because it was not on the internet. If I wanted the gun I have to go to the physical store and buy it. The guy said that the put them on the internet every so often and I will just have to keep looking for it. He said that they keep the ones in the store for their "customers". Well what am I? I just did not get it at all. Poor customer service.

Congrats on finding it, buying it and now receiving it. I know you were searching for that particular gun. I get pretty picky about which guns I want and have learned not to "settle" for anything less than what I wanted. Because of that, all my guns are keepers. :D

Bolter303, under the circumstances, the $420 plus FFL fees wasn't a bad deal. Sometimes you have to pay a bit more than you would like to make something important to you happen. Congratulations, and I am sure that you and the misses will enjoy your time shooting together.

I agree, I know I paid a little more. I had a deposit at a LGS for them to order it. They told me it could be 6 months. I could of also paid $329 for it at Hoffman's but they wouldn't ship it I had to pick it up. So all in all I am good. My dad told me something a long time ago, "if momma ain't happy, nobody is happy". Se is very excited to go shoot it today I just hope all goes well.
