When this was offered through Lipsey a few years ago, I came close to buying one, but lack of both availability and wood quality put me on the sidelines. For those that got one, how did they shoot? I may look again but in the used market....

Believe I've seen some brand new 257's on Gunbroker recently.

think there are a dozen or so on GB right now, a couple with nice wood. I managed to score one myself, with above-average wood. There is one with really gorgeous wood, but he wants way too much, IMO.

I took a look and see what you mean. In the days of the Internet, though, you only need one person to bite.
