Seriously. Back in my bellyaching days, the old guard was tellingme how easy I had it. LMGs broke a grand easy. Fancy stuff like G&Ps was well beyond that, and pretty much reserved for guys with adult children and oil workers that didn't have a coke habit.
The prices up here in the Hinterlands are where they are for a whole lot of good reasons. Profit margins are really tight on these things, and orders are still very risky even when everything is 101% above board.
Many of the solid retailers have been around since before the beginning, and can be directly thanked for us being able to own and play with these things in Canada at all.
If you really sit down and crunch all of the numbers, then levy that against the convenience, advice, and service factors you get with a local purchase, then add the fact that your Canadian money stays in the Canadian economy, you'll find that prices are very good these days, with few exceptions.
Lol betide he who seeks warranty service or replacement overseas.
