Didn't know that. My last new Remington was the R1 1911 that I bought in about 2012. I have bought lots of model 700's but not new since the early 2000's.
I bought my R1 on June 10, 2018, for $540.17. And the DPMS Panther Oracle for $449.99 in March of that year.
Still got the R1 (with some improvements), and it's awesome. I ditched the AR many months ago because I hated the lower level gas block and the little nub of 1913 rail. But at least it came with four free mags.
