So I went to the gun store because on the phone they told me they had 1 Saiga 7.62x39 16" bbl for $595, thought the price was a little steep, but i went to check it out anyway.
the people at my local gun store have a real crappy attitudes. but i don't really have a choice
i get to the gun store and check it out, I loved it, really lightweight, and the trigger pull isn't bad at all, not as bad as people make it out to be.
I mentioned that I thought their price was a little steep, all the guys behind the counter started laughing at me, one guy claimed that "a few months ago it would have costed 3X that amount." I guess that made sense because of the ban scare.
after checking out some other guns, I put down $50 on the Saiga, because the guy behind the counter said they sell fast. (he sold 2 yesterday apparently.)
I get home and look at the receipt and almost crapped my pants... I forgot all about tax, that's what happens after you shop online so much
If I want that Saiga I'm gonna have to pay $647.35 out the door (NY tax rate is 8.62%)
I have 29 days to think about it.
I want to hear what you guys think, too much, or go with it?
Thanks.
*edit*
I live in New York so don't tell me that i can get a standard configuration rifle, i'm not allowed to buy one.
