22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Son of a...!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just ordered mine through there last week or so. Must have been right before the started the free shipping . Ah well, I'm out $14. It's still the cheapest place I've found for NIB S12's. Everywhere else is charging $599. Something to keep in mind: This is a little "fine print" about the prices they offer to make sure you get it for $549: # Our everyday prices reflect a 3% cash savings not available on credit card orders.

spyderhead 0 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Just got mine from Centerfire yesterday for $549 plus $14.50 shipping. GREAT people to deal with. My local dealer is charging $779 (incl tax) for the same gun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAST STRIKE 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) I got a S-12 Monday from Centerfire. My S-12 seems have fairly late serial number. I had 2 lower numbered S-12s that fell into the "vodka special" category, sent back to RAAC. I checked the gas ports, this one had three gas ports. The gas ports were not obstructed by the gas chamber. Of course, I had to test fire the S-12--functioned great with high and low brass ammo, right out of the box! Centerfire is great folks to deal with!! Edited February 5, 2009 by FAST STRIKE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wasabi 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Dang, just got mine last week! Oh well, I still got a good deal @ $568 shipped. I agree with the others, dealing with Centerfire was an excellent experience. Super fast shipping and great customer service. Heck, I may buy another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
havok 21 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I just ordered s12 today from them and was charged for shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Vigilante 14 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 For those in the market, Centerfire has the 19" model for $550.00. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dyi 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Got #3 on the way. Those a$$holes will probably charge shipping or somehow F up the order. They always do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 I just ordered s12 today from them and was charged for shipping. They already charged your card? They didn't even put a hold on mine until it shipped, and it wasn't officially charged until after it shipped. Keep in mind, you don't get the S12 for $549 when paying with a credit card. Like I posted up above, the listed prices a reflect a 3% cash savings, not available when using a credit card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prometheus 7 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Bought mine from them today. Probably should have sent a check, but honestly I hate waiting for all that crap. Sending a USPS MO should speed it up, but that's a dollar or two fee and time wasted at the PO let alone a buck for the extra gas, so the way I see it the 15 bucks is more like 10 when you subtract all the hassle.

vbrtrmn 167 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 $583.6someting charge on my cc. oh well I guess. Did you call them? $30 is a bit of an "oh well" charge, IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) $583.6someting charge on my cc. oh well I guess. Did you call them? $30 is a bit of an "oh well" charge, IMO. Since he paid with a credit card, he lost out on the $549 price, and had to have 3% added to that price. So that's about $566ish. Then tack on shipping, which in my case was $14ish, that's $380ish. They also automatically add $3.50ish, for "Signature Required", when ordering firearms. So that's where the $383ish comes from. (That's a lot of ishes) That's still cheaper than anywhere else (that I've found) for NIB S12's, which seem to go for $599, before any other fees. EDIT: Wait, it's supposed to be free shipping now. So on second thought, I would give them a call, because from that price, they definitely charged you for shipping. Of course, they didn't start the free shipping until after I ordered .

havok 21 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Yes and was told I ordered a heart beat before the promo. Only $16.13 was for shipping not $30, the rest is CC charge. When I called the first time this was the price I was givin and I paid with CC so yes its "oh well" for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Norty 13 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Thats kinda funny that they have S-12's in stock. I know some of you guys did that pre order they were running back in Feb - March for $399. So did any of you even get a phone call or email from Centerfire to tell you that the S-12s were in? Did they fill any of those orders? They sure did not call me & they had all my info CC# & FFL paperwork. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Norty 13 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 norTY norTY wait a second, you ordered one from them, Norty? whoah whoah..... Ha!! yea in late Feb or early March on that $399 deal & never heard from them. I called a couple time & got the usual "Oh call back next week". I am glad I did not let that stop me from jumping on youz guyz opening deal. Centerfire will not get my $$$$ after that stunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It took something like 90 days to get my order processed. Phoned it in, and the kinda' forgot to tell me that the parts weren't in stock. Never again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you lucked out twice; no 3% increase for using a CC, and free shipping before it was advertised. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AUSyTyIN 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I phoned mine in on Monday. They said the special was $529 (IIRC) and after shipping it was $543 Should be here on Monday...can't wait! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nevermiss 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well I decided that I finally needed to get one..........actually two. My FFL contacted Centerfire Systems yesterday and my rifles will be here tomorrow. They told me they've sold 300 Saiga 12s in two days. One of them is going to Jack Travers as soon as I get it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DNF2005 0 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I just ordered one from Centerfire as well and was told $549.00 shipped after I gave them my CC info. Suppose I will just have to see what they charge me as it should ship Monday. Are they shipping the model with the removable choke? I totally forgot to ask. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I don't see why anyone should be charging any more than that honestly...I can gert them for $550 all day long, straight from my local dealer. And he only orders a few every time, sometimes just gets one in. He's also having to go through a middle man (distributor). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
