A couple of years ago, I asked Kevin at Straight Shooters if he could get one, and he answered that they aren't being imported anymore. I found one on Airgun Express' demo page late last year. Beautiful gun, and a nice stablemate for my R1AW. Recently, there have been some pictures and rumors floating around about a Europe-only nickel and synthetic HW30S (R7) I'd consider selling a kindey for one of those.
