Who is the best dealer to buy from? Does mad dog negotiate if you call them?

So the steel receiver vs. the aluminum is a $2000 price difference. That's just stupid and ridiculous. There is no justification for it IMO. Safari...now rob them of more money.

Agreed. Actually, a few years back it was $1,500 vs. $4,500 so it was 3x times the price and a $3,000 difference. Ludicrous. See my post above.

Based on my experience, Mad Dog does not negotiate, but he tends to have inventory. The cheapest dealer was Cove Creeks a few years back, and Euro Optics was not far behind. But I have not bought anything in a few years, I have all I need, so it may be different now.

@mms45 - I’ve had excellent experiences with Cove Creek, Top Dog Guns Global and Euro Optic.

I've had several good experiences buying R8's from Cove Creek in the last 2 years.

I drove out to Cove Creek and the guy there built a few guns for me to try. I highly recommend them and I don't have an R8...yet.

Toby if I am not mistaken this use to be yours. It definitely kicks, love the the 458 Lott. Still a safe queen for now but I hope to take it to Africa soon.

Isn't this for sale on Gunsinternational? If you purchased from @Backyardsniper, the stock was once mine. I kick myself every day for selling it!

Call cove creek. Talk with Bob or Bobby, they are great.

The reality is you will pick up a few items to start. The add as you go to find the right setup. I think you’ll find good prices with scopes from cove creek too.
