My story on buying the .223. I wanted the .223, the issue though was I live in Ormond Beach FL and the nearest Cabela's is in Augusta GA (5+ hour drive each way) I searched on-line and saw that Augusta location had the .223 in stock. I called them directly and explained my situation and they were able to take my cc info over the phone and do a ffl transfer to my local Bass Pro in Daytona. They did not charge sales tax but I did have to pay a $25 shipping charge and $35 transfer. Still less $$$ than driving 10+ hours (and probably a speeding ticket)

Ordered on 10/31 and picked it up 11/3
