You know you live in a state with a high tax rate when a major manufacturer comes out with a "tax relief" rebate to cover your tax and the max reimbursement rate of 8% doesn't cover what you pay. We pay about 10% here in the Pacific Northwest. Oh well, still a good deal if you are looking at getting a Browning...I would love a Citori but don't have the $ at the moment. Oddly, Buckmarks which I would consider getting in the near future, are excluded.
