not sure how accurate this is, but via other forums, I have read 599 as well
We bought one when 171farm notified everyone they were on sale from BassPro in December. We got ours for around $500.00
Thanks Noah for the info.
Thanks Noah for the info.
Opticsplanet.com has entered the discount game…as of posting they are listed as $569. You should get free shipping but assume tax will be added. I think you can get a 10% off code if you sign up for texts, but they might exclude this item from that.
If you are a Cabelas credit card holder you should be able to price match. They match optic planet pricing and will beat it by 5% if you use your Cabelas credit card or gift cards to pay for it. Just call their customer support and order through them. Assuming they don't have restrictions you could snag one from Cabelas for like $541. If you have Cabelas points it might be a good idea to burn some if you have been holding out for one of these.

Great info, thanks for sharing!
No offense but it's not getting better. It's getting worse. I doubt it will ever get better. The demand is not pent up, its being controlled. We don't control the demand any longer. They have been shown the way to manipulate the supply to line their pockets. Just dangling the carrot is the new market.

Since when did the LabRadar start selling for 500.00 ? If it is, they dropped the price about 100.00. 625.00 when I bought mine. Maybe they are on sale. If they dropped the price to 500.00, they only did it cause they saw the writing on the wall.
Only reason they dropped is the Xero was released and killed their market. Now labradar is responding with a smaller unit like the Xero so I'd assume the original/bigger labradar will continue to fall in price?

Yes I saw the X version came out. Just never saw the original unit at 500.00. There junk. I wouldn't give 50.00 for one. Nothing but troubles with mine from day one.
I had one and it was kind of a pain to setup. First shot I missed detection but realized it wasnt aimed right, next 3 it worked. I sold mine just prior to the fire sale to help fund a bolt gun build. I will buy a Xero at some point. Dont need it just yet

I had zero luck with mine. Didn't pick up 99% of my shots with the trigger installed even. My magneto speed picked up every rifle shot. My Xero picks up 100% of everything I shoot from slingshot to crossbow. Air rifle thru braked magnums regardless of where it's at on my bench. It's the most advanced unit I've ever used in reading shots.
Ok then. I think garmin wants to sell as many as they can. I seriously doubt they are limiting supply. From someone who worked in manufacturing for almost 40 years there is a limit on how many units you can produce of any product based on many factors. Raw material availability from different suppliers and your own production process limits. Demand in this case is high because they have a good product people want to buy.
I was referring to powder (which was what I think you referred to in the post I quoted). I respect your 40 years in manufacturing but times change. The way of our economy is not going to remain the same. Regardless of raw materials, manufacturers will all slowly start to keep demand high. Quality products may continue to be good but not that good. They quality will soon only be good enough to keep the market moving. People are working less, producing less and charging more. Soon nobody will be working harder to keep up with demand. It's simply more cost effective to control demand than keep up with it.
