$1,852.00
Those are pretty new, haven't seen one in person. I got to shoot a 10FP in 308 with the tupperware stock this weekend, and I was strongly considering buying a 10 for almost a year. Although I can't fault the accuracy, I just don't like how cheap and clunky the action feels. But I do love the barrel nut and interchangeable bolt faces.
I think that that BAS-K is a good idea, but bad mall ninja execution. The scope rail is mounted so high, you'd really need to adjust the hell out of that tiny comb. That means cleaning it will be a pain in the ass because you will always need to raise and lower the comb. Not only that, but it puts the scope way over the top of the barrel.
Also, I can't tell how the rail is mounted, if it is directly mounted to the receiver. They say it's "wraparound" and if that means it's mounted to the "chassis," then the scope can't be easily lined up with the bore, like on a M1A or SKS. And if they were shooting past 1000 yds, they must have had a scope with a ton of internal adjustment, because it looks to me like you are stuck with a 0 MOA rail.
Why not buy a 10FP and customize it with the left over $1100? Or buy ammo.
Or why not buy a Remington 700, Tikka T3, or Howa 1500? In fact, you could probably build a custom precision rifle for about that price. Assembly wouldn't cost much more than $150-$200.

Over/Unders were cool, too.
. but your right the whole ammo shortage thing seems to be clearing up a little. before you know it the hoarders are going to be putting their stockpiles up for sale for less then they paid
