Honestly,I doubt it. Given the quantity of rifles available at the last one, I think we've reached a price point where there's an equilibrium between supply and demand. I'd be surprised to see prices rise much more, unless people decide they suddenly need to buy a lot more than they are right now...And that's really not likely to happen in early January, when a statically significant percentage of purchasers are still recovering from holiday expenses.

One vendor at the Dallas Market Hall gunshow this past weekend had a bunch of them for $199. I only saw them in passing, so I can't vouch for the condition. I'll bet if you hit the show in January, you'll be able to find something similar.
