They are definitely not cheap, but SW is also on the higher end of costs for guns now days. I’ve seen them around $1450-$1550 other places online. The last 2 years, I’ve resorted to buying online and having them shipped to a local FFL. Even with shipping and FFL transfer fees I save on average $100.
Thank you Hudge, That puts it back on the something to keep an eye on list. I have a tool head set up for my Dillion 550 for .223 and a decent supply of components. I have loaded for an AR 15 but turns out I really don't like shooting ARs much.
I do like shooting bolt actions especially when they shoot well right out of the box.
