Curt,
I appreciate your comments seem the best thing to do is buy a shooter. What about one of the newer models from Mauser I guess their replicas but they look nice.
I viewed some swiss models at Simpson they seemed very clean 90 % blue to 85% straw around the $2500.00 does this seem reasonable to you. Can you suggest any other places to search.
