I still wouldn't buy it for $700. $500 yes, $700 no.
At $500 I would turn around and trade it for a better caliber, or have it rebarreled.
Everybody is so enamored of the odd wierd, and just plain stupid variety of calibers out there. It's a real shame. I can't tell you how often I see a guy during hunting season in the locals store bitching because he bought some off the wall neato new caliber and nobody in any hunting area has ammo for it. Me? I am pretty well sick of reloading calibers because I don't have a choice in the matter. I have gotten myself down to mostly calibers I can buy off the shelf for a rush hunting or plinking trip, and thats it. No more oddballs for me. I reload for cost effectiveness, or to tailor a load, not because I absolutely have no choice in the matter.
In the end buddy its whether or not YOU want the gun. If you want it, you cand get the ammo locally, or don't mind having to order ammo online, or go to big city shops to get it then buy all means, more power to you. I never said it was an inferior caliber. Just that I don't see a need for them.
Some of the new calibers work, work well, and are available in po-dunk towns and areas (like the 204 Ruger) Some slightly older calibers are hard to find around here (like 22-250).

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
