There are a limited number out there. Yes I have seen and held one personally. My LGS is asking around 950.00 for one. He said the distributor price is very high. He said he didn't ask for another because he doesn't believe they will sell at that price. And naturally, a used one is now not much better.
He said his distributor told him Ruger was using up all the old parts for one last issue. When they are gone, they are gone; they won't be a regular cataloged item again.
I'd really like to bring it home, but it just wasn't that long ago they went for less than a BH. I can't see 950.00. I just don't shoot BP enough to wear out the more affordable colt and remington clones. But then it wasn't that long ago one of those could be had for 100.00. Now you are lucky to find one at 300.00.
And maybe I am just getting old. Too bad the value of money hasn't gone up as much as the value of firearms. Maybe it's good for the investors.
