Well, apparently the rest of the country has caught on to the extreme quality and value built in to the SSG3000 (American made stock). With several active bidders, the price for the below two rifles is at $1875 and $2K+.

It makes me feel pretty good knowing the value of mine just went up. I bought it in early to mid 2014 at just over $1300 new (24" version).

I think it may also be attributed to SIG's discontinuing the model and it being a really nice, accurate, bolt action rifle. Finding magazines for it is like searching for unicorns - not a one to be found.

I did not realize they were discontinuing the rifle... That stinks. I'm not sure why they haven't increased mag production unless sig new they were going to discontinue the product.
Thanks for the info.

I really don't know if that is the "official" SIG position since they don't list as a discontinued rifle on their website, nor do they show it as available. My assumption is that its discontinued because of that.

I think the issue may be the fact that the barrel is made in Germany, and as we know now, there is a German export hold on all of SIG products to the US. Maybe it will be back once either the ban is lifted and parts start to flow again OR they make the barrel here in the US. No one really knows except SIG and they aren't talking!

I think the mag problem falls into the same boat, but not sure.
