I walked in to check out a DPMS Panther and Im now considering a top shelf Match-grade AR. A CTR-02 in .223 with one piece scope mounts and an adjustable stock.
The shop is asking $3000+Tax. Im sure it is a superb shooting rifle, but one thing that I would like to clarify is that one of the salesman's main selling points was that this rifle is going to be a rare item in the near future, and the price may go up to $4000 within a year if I decide I wish to sell it. Now, this could be typical salespitch B.S., or it could be very plausible in this day and age. I have the cash on hand to get it, and the shop has a 30-day return policy if I decide I don't like it(unlikely). I just want to consult the experts here before I go through with it.
So, eh, 2 main questions I'd like to ask.
Is $3200 a good price for a weapon of this quality, or would a custom built frankenstein AR be more bang for my buck?
Is this rifle actually going to take a big jump in price in a few months due to political and/or economical reasons?
