First of all, any dealer can ship to your local FFL holder, normally a gun shop or gunsmith, and do a transfer there. That is a common way to purchase a rifle.
I've purchased two 64 MPRs. One new, from Bud's Gun Shop (currently out of stock), and one used, from a local gun store a couple states over from mine. Creedmore ( creedmoresports.com ) has them in stock for $1175 and I think that's what Champion Shooters Supply also is asking. EuroOptic sells them continuously on GunBroker for $1399 (no reason to pay that much). Used they go anywhere from $600, my last purchase, to $1000, one currently on GunsInternational.
The new ones, ones made in the last 3 years, have a "scalloped" top of the 11mm grooved part of the receiver that has bumps that protrude up past the normal mounting surface and cause problems installing a scope. DIP makes a mount that bridges these bumps and allows easy scope installation.
The older ones have a spotty record for accuracy. Gizzy will confirm. My used purchase has a stainless steel barrel and was pretty awful until I installed a Harrell tuner. It now shoots into one hole and is MORE accurate than any of my 54 actioned rifles. I shot both my 64 MPRs today and love them both.
