Probably in the range of $75 to $125. $75 for the 717 and more for the 747 or 777. Parts are still available from Daisy at very reasonable prices tho they are probably just depleting stock. All three have identical internal mechanisms. The 747 has the Walther barrel as does the 777, which adds wood grips to the mix.
I have one and I shot my way to Production/International with it. The more I shot it the worse the trigger got and there is really nothing much that can be done about it. The guts are either plastic or sheet metal stampings. Obviously very accurate with the LW barrel but just not made to last long. I've switched to the Crosman 1701 PCP. Dragging the air tank around is a pain compared to the single stroke Daisy, but well worth it in my opinion. I top off after about 20 shots tho it will go further.

If you had a plan, I certainly didn't mean to put you off. One would be great for practice.
