At $2300, you must have also bought it between the wars. wink


Awww, I shot my mouth off before I checked. I paid $3400 which is about a 160% premium. Then I paid the gunsmith $768 to take the trigger pulls from 7 pounds to 3-1/2 and 4 lbs and to repair a very small chip in the toe and to repair the thumblever spring that broke the first time I took it hunting. But I did win $500 from a fellow on a bet concerning an integral or a separate hinge pin. It was separate and I won. Funny how my gun deals and my school grades get better with time. I bought in December of 2009.

And it weighs 5lbs 1oz.
