Sounds kinda high to me. But then, often his stuff sounds kinda high, but it still must be selling.

Got my "Krazy Days" sale catalog in the mail today, too.

"A real piece of history you can take out to the range and enjoy." "Ready to fire."


They forgot to mention that .41 Swiss rimfire ammunition is non-existent.

p.s. As to price, I've been seeing the price on Vetterli's creeping up on the gun auction sites. $720 would be a top price for a pristine shooter, though.
