Patrick, i think thats a question of wich i like better and wich i can pay. I`ve shot the Standard 08 and it was great. I also shot the ARI with the wooden stock and it was also fantastic. I never shot a NAVY :-( I think that is not so important if it is a standard or whatever, as long as it is a good shooter. From the collectors view the Navy is the better one, but the prices... uuuh! At the moment i have offers on all of them, they have all matching numbers and are in a great shape. The prices are good for the standards € 400 - €600, the ARI with all accessoires €1200 - €1600 and the Navy beginns at € 3000 !!! I can wait. And for the ammo we use H&N`s with HP38 great accuracy low recoil.
