Walk in there with cash and there won't be any question. Since they didn't have to stock it, maybe they can move a little. Might be something in stock that they could deal on a little better. Then again, that blows all your research! Just remember the markup on firearms is pretty small, so don't get too greedy. Don't forget that its the little guys that struggle the most, not Cabelas, BPS, or Gander. Enjoy whichever one you get, both are great guns.
BTW, I have the Tikka.....the magazine does make me cringe a little bit, but no problems so far.
Oh yeah, get good rings and glass.......Talley's are my favorite!
