Grizzly,

Glad Paul got back to you in some form.

Have you considred calling about the Thys at Bass Pro Shops, now listed for a more reasonable $21,500? Looks like a very nice rifle.

Its not on their website, FYI.

The best time to buy a DG DR is following the SCI show. If a dealer brings a rifle back, he knows that he has missed the very best opportunity of the year to sell that rifle. You might be able to negotiate a good deal on a nice rifle since the dealer is looking at sitting on that rifle for who knows how long.

Good Luck,

JPK
