I saw the Cabelas ad that had them for $599 after rebate a week or two ago, which means $665 roughly after rebate and taxes. $865 out the door.
Cabelas lost my business doing stuff like this awhile back. I tried to order 7.62 x 39 ammo the day they put it on sale and they didn't have a single box of it in the entire nation. (it was 1000 rounds for $200 and I know they didn't sell out immediately at that price). Just some false advertising to get people in the door. Say what you want about BPS, but I've never seen them do that.
FWIW, Academy kept running that HDS-5 sale in their weekly ad long after they had any in stock. I didn't appreciate that either. If you're going to put an ad out to get people in the store, you better have the stuff in stock at least when you publish the ad. Just my $.02
