New (?) or not it is still over priced by about $300 to $350 IMHO. I would never give that for one that I knew for sure was NIB, not when a 617 can be bought for $550 NIB. If you want a 22 MRF and only a S&W will do, find a nice new or used 6 hole 617 and have it reamed to 22 magnum and save some money and you will know what you have.

I have a friend that did that to a 617 and loves it and how well it shoots. I think he said it cost just under $700 total, which included the 617 and a new cylinder. He said the gun smith reamed the original cylinder and ordered and timed the new LR cylinder.
