I stumble across this beauty for $950. Talked him down to $900 with combats, $750 without; I agreed to the former and damn near tore my rotator cuff reaching for my wallet.

I am sure it's been fired, but very little. There's no end shake and a barely visible turn line. Not sure where others are finding these critters for $500-$650, but they don't live in my world. It has become good friends with my 66-1 2.5" and 627 snubbie.
I could have bought a 686, 2.5" cheaper, but it had the I.L. Opted not to even though it was nice. Bob
