The prices of my favorite black/tan rifles sure are dropping. I bought my LMT CQB MRP piston gun several months ago for just under $2K out the door and thought it was a great deal, now I see them on Gunbroker for less than $1700…..ouch. It does seem odd that the prices of LWRC rifles have not dropped below $2K since they are similar in features and quality. Does anyone know why LWRC prices are remaining so high?
This week at the Portland Gun Show I saw a new tan SCAR 5.56 for less than $2300; just a few months ago there were guys buying SCARs for well north of $3K (up to $7K). The same dealer had a Bushmaster ACR on his table for the same price as the tan SCAR. It really was pretty cool to see both rifles side by side. After holding (fondling) both, I liked look & feel of the SCAR better than the ACR. The guy next to me at the table & my buddy thought the exact opposite; they really like the look & feel of the ACR. Maybe is we wait long enough the prices of both the SCAR & ACR will drop to $1500 or less were they belong…..lol.
I'm was really hoping to see an new LMT .308 MRP rifle at the show, but no one had one. Hopefully the price of these bad boys will drop once production picks up and demand levels off. It is my next needful thing that I am saving for.
