They were in production for several years. I believe production started in around 2009 and am pretty sure they were discontinued last year (2014). there were plenty to go around for those that wanted one over the last 6 years or so.
Darn accurate rifles and I love mine.
You would probably lose your bet unless one of the big boxes was selling em at cost or a loss, or unless you found one available for a good deal and got the rebate on it. You would probably still be pretty close to the $700 mark. I"m always looking for a "deal" and never really saw any of em cheap. (always gotta add incidentals like tax, shipping and or FFL fees.)
Mine was right at 8 with everything said and done new.
