The reason for my comment was the result of Beretta acquiring Tikka. They priced them up there with SAKO's, well above the Tikka $ value. It took the massive slump in sales, lack of income from the brand to force Beretta to drop the pricing to an exceptable limit. Will they over price the H&H. Yes I know it is a premium brand but it can still be over priced. Hoping the take over, will be a good thing but I will wait and see.
