Hey guys. This is the one that got me hooked a few years ago via GB. All numbers match with no cracks in the stock. Bluing is about gone but nothing to complain about. Anyway, I took some pics with my new camera and wanted to share. Hope you enjoy.

Compared to what showed up with the early IO imports, that gun is quite pristine!

Your gun is a beautiful specimen, actually one of the nicer ones I've ever seen. thumb1
Thanks RM. I thought mine showed character but those ones has me beat by a long shot. chuckles1
If you don't have it in the registry already let me know and I'll be happy to add it.
thanks for sharing. thumb1
I'm sure those posted by RM were "u-fix-ems" at discounted prices.

I'm sure those posted by RM were "u-fix-ems" at discounted Ben's hand-selects at premium prices.

I'm surd those posted by RM were "u-fix-ems" at discounted prices.
Yes indeed, those were all $199 to $169 second and third tier, bottom of the barrel guns. P32 is correct though, many of those had milled trigger groups and would have fetched a $20 premium in addition to the hand select fee at Classic today. chuckles1
So...…was Ben working at I.O. when my gun was purchased? If so, he must have been on vacation that week. dance2
Nice looking rifle, Ghost51xxx! Mine was made about 8000 later. Did it require a lot of TLC, or was it in pretty solid shape when you got it?
