It’s still too early to tell, but a MSRP of $1300-1500, may be a little aspirational.
Let the pistols make it to the retail sellers and get in the display cases. Then allow the initial wave of buyers to throw their money around. You know the ones, the guys that just absolutely must have the newest, coolest stuff the day it hits the showroom floor. The sellers know those people too and will take their money with a smile.
After that initial rush, a few reviews, and some actual sales competition; the real price will begin to emerge. I suspect it will be lower than that current MSRP.
Just looking at the advertising, there are some positive attributes to that Savage pistol.
A lightweight titanium firing pin (eliminating the need for some obnoxious series 80 type firing pin safety). Decent sights right out of the box. Ambidextrous safety. No MIM parts? An all-stainless model available? Made in the U.S.A.
I don’t think I would give $1300 for one but let’s wait and see what they REALY sell for.
