Recently purchased the identical model in .223 at a Dick's here in PA. They only had the one .223 and two in .308.
The salesman was a very personable guy and says "Why don't you ask me for another 10% because this is a clearance item?"
So I ask him and he responds "Sorry, I can't do that but if you want I'll ask the store manager."
Long story short, he gets her on the phone and tells her a customer wants to know if they will further discount a clearance item and she knocked off another $25.
Altogether, a very entertaining experience. I obviously thanked him.
