Sale
Bought one myself, but the store sale is over they will still honor this price but on a on line sale only. I was curious on how they could do this turns out GARMIN quit making the DC-50 about 3 weeks agoand are now switching over to the T-5.

My hunting partners DC50 went dead the other night and he called Garmin. Was told the DC 50 was no longer being made. DISCONTINUED Only making T5. I"m not sure but I think if it isn't the battery they won't even fix it.

lol heck they just came out with the 50 seems like . I can't keep up with this new tech . luckily I have 4 50's I haven't even used yet . I'm gonna get a couple of t-5's here this next year for the hunts but dang they are moving way to fast for me .
DC 50's were discontinued a couple months ago. They have plenty for any warranty replacement and out of warranty replacement. The T5 is replacing the DC 50's in all the astro bundle packages and individually. Like many companies when they stop production they dump inventory in volumne to big box stores. That is what happened here. It happened last year with the dc 40 combos also. Nothing new.
