    I've seen them in the $700-800 region.

    I picked mine up cheap because it was shooting 3-4" groups at 100m at best. I figured that it would do for the odd pig walking out in front of me at 30m, a common occurrence while bunny busting with the 22lr. Without firing it I dropped it in to Gunworks for a suppressor because I didn't want to spook the rabbits. Went to sight it in when I got it back and everything was 11-13mm three shot groups at 100m. I did lodge a complaint with Amanda on my next visit to Gunworks. Completely ruined my need for something better.

    Wouldn't want it buried with me, mind. Be far more useful in someone else's hands.
