Home Depot [homedepot.com] has a RIDGID 12 in. sliding miter saw for $280.12 using the Home Depot hack.
Choose the portable stand as your "free" gift and add both to your cart. You do have to choose the same shipping method. Either choose ship to home and return the stand to the store or choose store pickup and do the same. Also, some have had luck shipping to different stores and not picking up the one item.
For those wanting both, use this
https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGI.../310390809 to get them for $399 but no hack available.
There is another thread

There were some issues a few years ago with blade wobble, but that has been addressed and any inventory with the blade wobble issue should be long gone. Even if you end up having the problem, you can call Ridgid and they will send you the part (I think it is a washer) to fix it.
If you are doing precision miter cuts for trim work, i'd do research on what the best saw is. So far as I am concerned, saw price is not a factor if you are an amateur doing complex crown moldings. Buy whatever it takes to make it more intuitive.
