They can be had for $575 before tax if you look.makes me debate between holding out for a GP 100 and one of the taurus 357's. I've wanted a 6" barrel 357 for ages now, but damn, the rugers are like 600+

I'm going with Model 1908 Short Rifle in 7.65x53.

To preserve it I would disassemble it, give it a good cleaning, run an oil soaked patch down the bore, and then put a coat of paste wax on the metal. I like store my guns in silicone treated socks for a little extra protection.
