Picked this up a couple of weeks ago. Very Very clean. Great condition. Had an issue with light strikes but thanks to the people on the forum i took the advice and changed out all the springs with the small parts kit and now it is running like new.

Just wondering exactly what model this is and roughly what it is worth.

It was manufactured in the Monson plant. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Looks like you have a model 715 VH6.  On the auction sites a nice 715 can go anywhere from $500 to $700 depending on the day.

Hope this helps.

Good deal ! When the new 715 hits the market for 1K you can

figure that will be more valuable.

Great deal and many years of wheel shooting!  The 715 is a great looking piece and add a few more Ba's to it and next thing you know you have a pac!  occasion beware of dwas as it strikes and nothing you can do to stop it!

i would love to get the 2 1/2 barrel for it. I see that EWK sells the barrels,i would just need to find a stainless shroud and that should work right??

Yes that will work, but in most cases you will find the barrel and shroud (BA=Barrel Assembly) on auction sites as a package, with barrel nut and front sight insert. It is fairly uncommon to see just the shroud, especially for a 715.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
