Beacause they have us over a barrel.

With the limited run they did, they could likely put a $2000 price on them & they likely would sell as fast.

Do you have a line on one? I know they're tuff to find but I might know where one is.

I replied to your other thread on "what to use for a Rigby"

I'll set the hook one of these days.

No, I haven't decided what to do with it. It's still box-stock. It will be something between a 404 and 600. I just haven't made up my mind.

You could have the first 600 OK north of the border though. The boys in Australia are building one as we speak, and if you hurry you could beat them and have the first one in the Empire.
