expect to pay something in the neighborhood of three to four times that price and wait a couple of years for it to ship to you.
You are probably right about the wait but not the price. If I recall correctly, Steve Zihn recently quoted me between $8000-$9000 for a double 8-bore muzzleloader. There is actually a thread on muzzleloadingforum.com that prompted my discussions with Steve. Nice guy, that one. Anyway, if one is happy with a single bbl gun, you can get into one for about $3000-$3500 from either Steve Zihn or Jim Gefroh. Count on a year wait for these but the quality will be great. Frankly, from the looks of the October Country guns, one could definitely do better with some of the smaller and lesser known custom builders anyway...in other words, there was no loss with the demise of October Country.
JMHO,
