yeah mine is a early 2000's one, bought brand new by my dad.
got her sighted in today as been sat out of use for many years and found it really liked cci velocitors - 1/2 inch groups at 60m with my dodgy shooting, stingers were sub 1 inch so not bad but not as good.
thats where the want for a bigger/longer bolt handle came from as the stingers are that bit longer so are renounably tight with the velocitors a bit less tight but still to the point were i was having to use the palm of my hand as my fingies were starting to ache
