I saw the Gander Mtn. stores around me had the SRH with the 9.5 inch barrel in 45/454 marked down to $599 about 4-6 weeks ago. However, the guy behind the counter told me that price was only good for the 9.5 inch (I like the shorter one better) ...something about they were not going to stock the longer barrel configuration anymore, had too many, and wanted to get rid of them. Not sure if that helps or not?
