I've had mine since '79 when I was 25 years old, bought it new from Ron Peterson's in ABQ NM. it is an "N" prefix 6", shot very little, no turn line even evident. It normally wears the Pachmayrs. I paid around $185 for it, a buddy and I each bought one, he still has his too! I carried it hunting for a few years, even dispatched an Elk with it.
