    My understanding is 317 as I have spoken to the owner of 317 and he has owned it from new and was told that it was the last one made, I owned 313 myself

    Air arms TDR values seem to stay very strong. Think if AA stopped making them, values would go up.
    AA won't stop making them as such a simple rifle sold at such a premium.
    Thanks - Geoff.

    You could almost say for brevity "anyone that went bust"

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Richard,

    Don't forget to add the scimitars numbered from 1000-1015 and there were some customer chosen numbers. I'm aware of 2x mark1s numbered 25 and 25l for example made for a left and right handed couple who shot ft in the late 80s.

    My scimitar is no 1000 and was John Ford's personal rifle :-)

    oh has anyone mentioned a ISP spartan?

    Pete

    ...low volume production is a definite benefit...
    ...and the ability to bring a smile to your face when you get the damn thing out...

    ...are ALL qualities which should be possessed by a future 'collectable' - a positive 'must' to ensure increasing value.

    SO, I concur: ALROS TRAILSMAN [and mine is the slim tube 'octoshot' version]

    How about the Stalkers? Adrian Hartley could put a sweet action together and the wood was always very special. I have had one from new - very nice rifle.
