I understand that this rifle was only produced from 1982 to 1984...I purchased one brand new out of the box and and it has been since then my main hutning rifle. Not much information about them anywhere. Mine has seen lots of action and I refinished the stock last year and it is a really great hunting rifle...any thoughts on its reputation. I noticed that the bolt looks just like the one on ruger bolt action rifles. I'm a bit disapointed with the groups lateley but that might have to do with the fact that I'm too cheap to buy an expensive scope for it. I bagged a deer at 285 yrd with it in 2006. Since it was only made for two years, does it have greater value than most...In understand that it has a modified mauser action and it has a 22 inch barrel.
