WTB: Heavy frame .22 Revolver

[doddg]

Don't want to pay new price, but can't ever find any used heavy .22 revolvers.
Not interested in a Western single-action.

All stainless:
S/W 617 6 inch 10 shot 44 oz
Ruger GP100 5.5 inch 10 shot 42 oz
Taurus 992 6.5 inch 9 shot 55 oz
I found a S/W 4 inch for $400 that I was going to get since I couldn't find anything else, but it was gone in minutes.
Before I pay too much I'll simply buy new from Hoosier Armory:
617 = $690
GP100 = $627
970 = $500 (saw it at Bud's for $400???)

Taurus looking good if I have to buy new.

I have made up my mind to get the S/W 617: .22, 6 inch barrel, stainless steel, 10 shot, 44 oz.
The Taurus 992 isn't available anywhere.
The Ruger GP100 I can get for $600 at Hoosier Armory, but I've decided to go wild.
I can get the S/W for $666 at BudsGunShop.com for $666, but will have to pay the fee for transfer at a gun shop, which will probably cost $35?, but there will be no tax, and there will be a UPS fee of $7 = $708 total.
I don't see any value in getting the $33 lifetime warranty since it isn't transferable therefore will not be a selling point, and I won't be putting many hours on it at the range.
If I get the Smith at Hoosier Armory: $689 plus tax ($48) = $737.
I don't know if they will have any more fees added till I talk to them tomorrow.
They have the Ruger GP100 there on site for $600, so they might influence me to buy it instead, and the S/W would have to be ordered.
If anyone has any ideas to save money, let me know.

I had to pay $599 for the Ruger GP100, but I wanted "the best" in my old age.
Actually, the S/W 619 was the best, but that would have been another $90, and the Ruger is all I need and will resale well when I want to part with it.
I only kept the S/W Victory for 1 trip to the range, so, who knows?
I'm done, not that I won't buy something for a really good deal just to play with and resell like I did the Victory.
I have my Stainless steel .38 for home protection.
My Colt Mustang .380 for CC, and the SS .22 magnum NAA single action for CC when the .380 is cumbersome.
Now I have my revolver for target shooting.
Today I had fun at 20', 30', 40', 50' and 60'.I won't win any rewards: still pulling to the left and low.
And my vision is such that it's not going to get much better.

Included is a recoil-reducing, cushioned black rubber Hogue Monogrip and a hard plastic case.[/FONT]
