I've owned three of these over the years--stupidly let them get away for one reason or another. My LGS--the proprietor of which has a rack of used guns at mostly outrageously high prices--I think to keep the rack filled (it makes his small ship look better) had this 20" barreled Mountie on the rack for only a day or two when I spotted it. Surprise! A fair price--$400! I jumped all over it. There were a couple of spots of rust that cleaned up pretty well--the stock was pristine, and all in all, I think it was a gun that dated back to the 70's or 80's, hadn't been shot much and had been neglected a bit. I'm tickled to have found it. It now sports a Weaver 4X in Weaver mounts and shoots great with the right ammo. So far, German made Geco does the best.
