Honestly, I don't know if they'd do it or not. I've approached them about a couple things in the past and they weren't really interested. With that being said, this will be a different year for the manufacturers. Sales won't be a given.
I don't think sub-800 will happen though. Their current mountain rifles are a little spendy and sales of that rifle aren't booming. That could make this a difficult task.
I'll send my rep an email today. I'll let you know what he says. It may be a few days -- he's probably on vacation until next week. They're gearing up for months of travel away from home. I'll see him at SHOT too.
