    I prefer its looks over its price.

    just buy the original - a third of the price, better looking, job done
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    Yup. Except the looks. I like the reported quality and general FWB specialness.

    Yup, too. But I have a feeling this thing will not last long in the market, and few will be bought, so that in a few years time spending a gazzillion pounds on one now might seem to have been a bargain compared to spending a gigagazzilion pounds in a few years' time when they are out of production and only six of them got over here, and a bunch of collectors realise than they "need" one.

    Think Sterling HR83. Brilliant, but deeply flawed, did not sell well when new. Now rather sought after. An 83 commands a 50-100% premium over a near-contemporary HW77, while being inferior in almost every respect as a thing to hit targets with.

    that's true.. well engineered market failures have a habit of becoming highly collectible...

    They appear to have set out to create a rifle with the looks that only a mother could love.
    The breech block and trigger guard do nothing for the appearance. If ugly rifles become collectable this will be worth a fortune
