Why is the demand on this rifle so high?

Ya, there are some head scratchers out there.... Seen the prices on nylon 66's lately? CL
 
When I see dealers on GunBroker wanting $800 for a used Weatherby MOA Vanguard II .243 which sells for $489 new, I have to wonder myself, what is going on?
 
I'm thinking that some people figure that these won't be around long and after all, they are built by IMI and the Israeli mystique is worth money to some?
 
These were never that popular to start with and had a pretty short run. I simply can't imagine anyone spending $2k for one.

If I recall- an acquaintance bought one…probably in 91 or 92 and reported it to be a real clunker- I could be wrong, I've slept a lot since then.
 
That sort of response would make GB very popular with that seller.
 
I hunt with a guy that carries one of those! It is actually a pretty sweet brush gun. He has a red dot on it. Just not a very common gun and it's made by the same guys that make desert eagles.
