A quick check of USSG's web site now shows the Sabatti is only offered in 45/70 in the inexpensive model and 45/70 through 500 NE in the deluxe model. 577 and 600 are no longer listed. All Baikal models appear to still be listed.

Again, I have to suspect that the confusing and conflicting answers being given out by USSG employees are not attempts at deception. It's just that the situation is so fluid even they don't know what is going on.
