Went into the gun shop today. Was looking at the Encores out of curiosity. Then the counter guy said, "Well, if you like those Encores you should take a look at This. And he drug out a Weatherby Mark V Compact Firing Platform (Weatherby's code for pistol) in 243. He had it marked at the MSRP of $1579. While I was fondling it and BS'ing the counter guy, the owner had been watching through the one way window. He stepped out and yelled across the 40' room, "I'll make you a hell of a deal on that gun!". He then checked the inventory data and knocked $400 off the price! He said that the gun had been there for six months and I was the first person that had picked it up. I turned it down, but it was a nice setup if you want to carry a 27.5" package with a 16" barrel, that weighs 5.25 lbs. It was tempting but, even with the discount it was a lot of money.

I see by this thread that he probably had another $300 to work with. I feel for him but, will stick with my XP's for now.
