I almost went back for an early model 9422 magnum that was priced at $1050.
It had some wear on it but was the early uncheckered model and I missed out.
In hindsight, after looking online at completed auctions I should have found a way to get it.
I may never see another one.
If you really want it then I agree with the above post that you can throw the Blue Book out the window.
We are in an historic time of rapidly increasing home prices, used vehicle prices and firearm prices.
The older wood/blue rifles that many of us clamor for are becoming fewer and farther between.
I have very few on my short list but if I run across one, I'm not going to be shy about paying for it.
