Yes, been checking out the Interarms offerings, Ed, ever since reading a bit about their history. The Swiss style frame, and the "Bulgarian" are something I could deal with, though I've always found the straight front strap of the Swiss frame something that looks just wrong. Haven't had a shot at either one yet that was less than $999, but, as you say I'm looking around a lot--and being patient. $600-$800 is also the actual range of my bidding so far--and that's max bids. I'm keeping in mind also what Bill said, that I don't want to dump money into low value stuff I might get stuck with.
