Thanks guys. Also, I'm not sure how much it will be... MSRP is at $739, but at my local shop, I wound up paying $380 + tax for a $400 MSRP rifle (Thieves), so I dont really know how much I'll have to pay. I probably got ripped off on that gun to be honest...

I've heard a lot of people say as of 2012 that you should pay no more than around $650 out the door, but I'd be lucky to get the thing for less than MSRP OTD.

In general, how much should one pay compared to the MSRP? If a rifle is $1000 MSRP, how much should one expect to pay after tax? Thanks.
