You need to find someone who has a new one, or knows what a new one looks like.
The old models have a shitty stock, you will need to replace it. Figure anywhere from $60-$400 for a good replacement.
If you get the old model you will need a good trigger/trigger job figure $35-$200 for a good trigger tune.
When you figure all that in, it starts to approach the box stock performance of most Winchesters, Remington, and other rifles of which you now have almost matched in price.
My best friend looked at this fairly extensively after I recommended he could get a Savage for under $400....
I picked up the last model I saw in the local fun store and the stock can be pinned to the barrel with moderate pressure exerted from my hand.....
I guess you need to go and look at one and see if the quality matches with your needs.
