Are Stihl 500i still hard to get? Saw 4 at local Cal-Ranch Store

[PV Hiker]

I stopped in at my local Cal-Ranch store in Carson City Nevada and I see that they have 4 Stihl 500i chainsaws on the shelf.

Two have full wrap handles, 25" bar and each for $1399.99.

Other two have non wrap handles 32" bar and each for $1449.99.

Just letting y'all know what I saw.

Yes they are here, my dealer has been able to get in only 2 this year.

I was in the hardware store where I bought mine. No 500i on the shelf. They only got 3 in this year, and I got the 3rd.
