AKI Bandit welcome to the forum.The way it sounded to me Alaska was flooded with them. Someone posted there were 7 at one shop.You painted a different picture which I can feel your pain.At least you have one sewn up.650.00 is the same price I was given.I'm making a trade for mine.At this rate there will be a price increase before many of us see them.I'm sure Ruger is doing what they can to get them out to us.I don't agree with their marketing practice.I haven't heard any more concerning problems.

You sure live in beautiful country up in Alaska.Never been there but have watched enough documentaries to see it. You are very fortunate.
