    especially the prices for these older classics 1975 NZFS $190 picked up a vixen in 1990 in Magnum sports Stratford $600 now well over $2000 one of the few rifles to have really gained at such a rate - - the Finnbears are nice just so bloody heavy - of course the dilemma with a mint old vixen is does one butcher it by threading for a suppressor - my awnser is yes and use it unless its one of the very early and the sights are soldered on - I see many in a certain Gun chain are missing the rear sight but the mount is still there - pity I dont think one could get the mssing part - taken of to mount a scope and lost
