Maybe not on the older models that are collectable, like the old 40X or the wood stock BDL, but the ones built of late with the cheap plastic stock and the matte finish metal should drop back to normal prices again. Like I was saying, I haven't read where they are building firearms as of yet and it was only information from a friend. This is only my thoughts as what might or should happen.
Yes Sir I can confirm that they are now running, but are filling other contracts first. So I would not expect a lot of positive influx at first.
On when can we see prices sorta return to prior to the current Admistration??
I don't see that happening (this is a opinion) with the mass printing of money our dollar loses it's value.
Could we see the price go down? yes but quality and options will suffer and drop dramatically.
Yes the new shooter are driving prices and demand up, which is simple supply and demand as many have pointed out. Plus the lock downs means that production of componets has been crippled not just in the US but worldwide. Consider the powder that many of us use, majority of that powder while brought into the US by US powder company's are from abroad. Canada, Austraila, etc etc. I would say if one disagrees with my obseravtions please point to a powder that is actually made within the US. now I used powder as a talking point, but componets means everything to make the rifle or ammo.
I was glad to see Remage website. I noticed that they are listing the 783 as well as the flagships (700,870's). To the dismay of some that don't really care for the 783.
