Dan, Buds prices are tied to stock level and the 300BLK has more in stock and has been slower selling compared to the 5.56 version rifle.

Buds prices are set by a computer and sometimes guns get a great price. When you find a great price on a gun you want you need to purchase it ASAP as the price will not last long From Buds “Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost. We do not price our guns manually based on our cost in each, rather we use a live download from manufacturers and distributors to set our price based on our current replacement cost. As our cost changes, the corresponding website price of each make/model will change up/down accordingly. Although our profit margin remains unchanged, our advertised prices will change frequently, sometimes several times per day.”
