Fair price for .357 Ruger Vaquero?

[SixShootinSam]

I'm eyeballing a new .357 Ruger New Vaquero, blued, with short barrel at the local gun store.
It's priced at 549 bucks, out the door after taxes and transfer fee it's $615.

Seems a bit steep to me, so I'd like some second opinions from you guys. These folks are new in town so I want to give it a shot if that seems fair.

I saw them for $519 plus tax

Store is charging a transfer fee on something they have on the shelf?

Seems odd to me. Is that a Kali thing or have I been living under a rock for too long?

I bought a New Vaquero .357 Mag with 5½" barrel recently. This gun was used, but low round count. It's blued/CCH.
The price was $375 in south central Pennsylvania.

My opinion from 3000 miles away is the price you quoted is way too high and you should look elsewhere.

The new Vaquero is a fine revolver. Once you find the one you want, you'll enjoy shooting it.

Paid like $420 for mine, slightly used in near-perfect condition. Blued with case-colors and 5.5" barrel. That being said, Gunjoker.com prices are $500-$600.

That is well under MSRP. I have seen them a little cheaper but not under 500 for a new one. I just picked up a .45 Vaq. Stainless 5.5 barrel for $519. New. My gun store is priced pretty good. They do sell allot of these pistols so they don't sit around long.

Bud's has them for $490. Figure $30 shipping and $20 transfer fee (around here).

 

[ATW525]

$498.31 out the door for a brand new one out this way.

My brother bought one last week for 470.00 brand new in Bozeman, MT. It has the 4" barrel and adjustable sights.
