Ya but I can get that brand new for 270 tax in and everything. I think 300 with rails, and no one else's *** has been on it.



I'm kinda getting sick of people trying to sell used as "new" items. In my opinion, if you took it out of the box you automatically lose 25% of the value due to depreciation.
