With a Leupold 4-12x40 Firedot scope AND mount attached? Not even Walmart can do that for $1099. I "chatted" by PM with Beiruty. The $2,500 he is asking is what he actually paid for the rifle and scope combination, tax included and rounded to the nearest $100.
With Zero rounds down the tube, it is still a "NIB" rig. Did he overpay? By December 1st pricing, yes he did. Not so much by February 10th pricing. The market is what it is. It may not be worth that much to you, but if you want one today, that's pretty much what you're going to pay for it. MRSP for the rifle alone is $1,234.00, per the Sig website. MSRP for the scope alone is $789.99. Allow $75.00 for the Burris AR P.E.P.R. scope mount, and that is a total of $2,099.00. The Cabela's salesman told him they were selling this rig for 15% over MSRP. That's $2,413.85. Add 8.25% sales tax, and you've got $2,613. Beiruty said that his buy price for the package, tax included, was just under $2,500, and he just rounded the price to the nearest $100 for his sell price. I call that difference a fee for his time and money.
It was an awful lot of money to pay for what is a very nice rifle, but which is overpriced only because of current market forces which are completely beyond any of our control. It is unreasonably to expect him to take a 66% bath on it, when you simply will not find this rifle/scope package anywhere else for any less money
if you want one right now, and simply must have one. I think Beiruty will laugh along with me when I say that he really did simply have to have one today........but his wife did not. That's his misfortune. I'm not willing to pay that for what he's offering, but neither am I going to mock him for trying to get his money back. That's unnecessary.
