And I hear they aren't all that accurate either. Be different if they outshot all other revolver calibers!

When the Ruger Hawkeye came out it was $87.50. This was 1963-64. In the early 70s they were selling for $250.00. Everyone thought this was way to much money to pay for a gun that sold for $87.50. A few years later they were selling for $500 to $600. A ridiculous price for a $87.50 gun. Then overnight they jumped to a $1000. To rich for my blood!!! Well you know where the price is now.
Now I'm not saying that this "Ruger Super Single Six, convertable, 17 HMR-17Mach" is in the same league as a Hawkeye, but only time will tell if it's worth $1755.00. I'm sure it's worth that to the person that bought it, and only time will tell if they will ever get their money out of it when they go to sell it. Like it's been said. You never pay too much for a gun. You may buy it a few years too soon, just wait your price will catch up to what it is worth if you wait long enough.
I for one would rather put the money into some Old Models that are worth that price now, and not have to wait for the price to catch up with me. While I wait, the Old Models are going up in value while that New Model is trying to catch up with the price that I paid.
