There is a mod 700 in 22wmrf in an upcoming local auction. What can anyone tell me about it?

I found this...

Harrington & Richardson Model 700

Notes: At the time of its inception (1977), this was the only US-built semiautomatic rifle to chamber the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridge. It has a walnut-stock with a pistol grip, a rollover comb, and a squared fore-end. The barrel was 22 inches long, and the rear sight was a simple, though adjustable, folding rear notch-type sight. It was unfortunately made in too small numbers to achieve very great market penetration, despite critical acclaim; .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire ammunition was also somewhat expensive at the time, and the Model 700 was withdrawn after 6 years without many being built.

A deluxe version, the Model 700DL, was also built; this version used select walnut stocks with checkering on the pistol grip wrist and fore-end. It is identical to the standard Model 700 for game purposes
