Oltimr I bought mine new in 1999 at a gun show in Florida brand NIB for under $500! And like I said, it was one of the earlier ones which has a ported barrel. Of course back then gun show prices weren't crazy high. In fact it was one of the few gun shows that my wife came with me to and as I was fondling it (the rifle not the wife) she said if you like it buy it. She didn't have to twist my arm.
