I bought one the first year they came out and really like it, may be the most accurate handgun I own. You dont see alot of them for sell but id guess in the $650-$700 range around here.

$600-800 seems to be the going rate depending on condition and box/papers/etc. I sold one here last year for a trade plus some cash, valued around $650 total.

They are amazingly accurate, fun to shoot, expensive to feed.

I bought one from the LGS here NIB last year and sold it to a Forum member for around $650. Pretty rare beast, and yes, expensive to feed. I bought it when I couldn't find a 617, and then as soon as I'd bought the 647 the 617 showed up. Funny how that works.

I think I know where that 647 zercool was feeding.....and it IS 1/2 of the most accurate pair of revolvers I have.....a 17-4 8 3/8 is the other half.

A most wonderful revolver IMHO.

They were made for less then two years, so they aren't easy to come by.

I like the one I have. It's fun to shoot.

I like mine. Very easy to shoot good out-of-hand groups compared to the 44 Mag I carried in the 90s

Shot a squirrel or two, but that's about it, not done much with it at all.

Unfortunately, I've put it on gunbroker.com, an out-of-country move means I have to get rid of the firearms.
