Availability is good: it was in stock at one retailer or another nearly every time we checked in October 2026, but today only Brownells has it in stock. It dipped to $283.99 at Ammunition Depot for a stretch in October 2026, under its usual $313.49, so sales do come around. Buying today, the lowest price is $313.49 at Brownells, above October's low of $283.99, so a better deal may come back.
