Don't wanna barge on another man's post, but curious what is the going rate on a 1066 in box with night sights?

Buy it, but keep in mind, its soon to become the second baddest after the release of the Sig Sauer P220 10mm All Stainless Elite.

Just my $.02, but I don't own any long arms or handguns for which ammo is even remotely difficult to find. If I can't walk into a local store and find what I need, the caliber loses my interest.
When I wanted a different style carbine (versus .223/5.56) I looked at the Beowulf, Blackout, etc. But with ammo extremely pricey and not readily available, I went with a .308 and have no regrets. Same with my handguns--9mm, .45acp, .38pl.
Again, just my opinion--10mm may be absolutely everywhere in your area. But in my neck of the woods, I've never seen a box for sale on a shelf.

Most 10mm owners that I know including myself, reload for just this reason.

Dude. All you have to do is head west on the Thruway. Everybody has it over here. But +1 on reloading.
Thanks Johnny, I guess I'm behind the times. I hadn't even heard of this Sig yet. The M11-A1 has been my daily carry for a year now. I'm moving to Alaska March 21. I wasn't planning on buying a 10, but I couldn't turn it down. I'll check it out. It would be great carrying a familiar feeling piece.
On the Alaska note, I'm excited today I am going to go pick up the new S&W model 69 .44 K frame. I'm buying it for me to enjoy, then giving it to my girlfriend 2 days before her birthday (thanks I-594). She's 4'11 1/2. I originally was going to have it for my daily carry in AK, then I thought how much more practical for my GF to carry when we are out hiking, as I can handle a much larger variety of sizes and calibers.....629 and .460. I'm already jealous of her.

Its not listed yet but Sig says its coming. I wouldn't turn down that 1006 in the mean time. Compared to todays current stuff, the all steel 3rd gens are almost like a custom gun.
