I have a few peregrines, the older style with the 50's kodiak style handle...I have them in both hinged and solid... I would not be afraid to pay $500+ for either bow, and up to $700 for the hinged...He makes a different style now, the grip is dished with more of a pistol/hand locater grip. I would buy a used older peregrine that is scratched up for 300 to $400 all day long. Who knows how long dick will be building bows to. You can't go wrong with a peregrine, my all time favorite bow period. I am actually looking for a low #50's perergine....
good luck.
