I kinda regret selling mine. There were certain things I didn't like about it, but they're nice guns overall.

Agreed. Although I would say that they’ve got such a following, they’re at risk of being overhyped. I do like mine, the one you had was a bit too nice to use though!

Yeah it was a bit too pristine aye. I was considering refinishing it with more of a matt, oil-based finish, but that would have screwed with its value. People were fighting tooth and nail over it on Trademe lol. I think there are loads of ex forest service guys who want a mint one for nostalgic reasons. Once the old guard disappears, it'll be interesting to see whether the vixens retain their value or not. The fella who bought my one was in his early 20's. His old man had told him all about them.
