S&W 15-22 price check?

[Almond27]

Hi, I was browsing at a local shop the other day and they had a Smith and Wesson 15-22 for $499 this price is seeming a little high the more I look around. What are the majority of opinions on these rifles? Is $499 too high for one? Thanks

You can get a Ruger 10-22 for a lot less, but if you get the Archangel furniture to make it look like an AR the price is close to the same.

They were $419 at a gun show two weeks ago. I've heard people getting them for $399, which is about right.

In Illinois they are 499 at the gun shops. Gun shows cheapest was 449 in this area.

Saw one at Gander Mountain in St. Augustine FL for $457

Bud's gun shop was selling them for $419 for a while, but the one I handled there today was $449, probably because S&W raised the MSRP from $499 to $569.

Anybody shot one yet?

$499 is high. I got mine for $424 out the door a couple months ago, but I heard they were up a little . I saw it on the wall at the same shop for 439.00. I love mine Wayyyyyyy more fun than my 10/22. Mags are cheap and accuracy is very good. 10/22 is more accurate for me, but the S&W fun factor blows it away. Once I got a couple hundred rounds thru it, it hasn't missed a beat even with bulk ammo. They don't like Remington ammo and that seems to be the case all over what I've read on the internet.
