I would think that is high because that's right with the manufacturers suggested retail. I haven't priced them in real life...but generally MSR is much than real life price. I know one online character got the model 10 for "about 500".

I would find another dealer, if for no other reason than to check prices in your area. Also, if you plan to do any hunting I'd get the model 12, that tactical gun is gonna get real heavy real fast in the feild and both with be more than accurate.
