If you research Magnum Research Lone Eagle SSP You may find more information. Perhaps Ordnance Technology was a previous name before Kahr acquired them and changed it to M-R.

bnasicall a high end target or hunter

one of the first high end composite gun's and well thought of in both big calibre target and pistol hunting area's

the original scope kits are highly sought after too as the frame is a unknown thing if tapped and drilled

value i have no idea for the US here they are not cheap ( Australia) but what is cheap in guns here ???

I've never seen one of these before. Kind of looks like something from a sci-fi movie from the 70's.

Here's some info I found:
QUOTE "Another example is one that I own, the Lone Eagle from Magnum Research, Incorporated (MRI). Actually, the pistol I own is the SSP-86 (Single-Shot Pistol, 1986) from Ordnance Technology in Stetson, Maine. Who, you say? Well, the reason you probably don't know anything about Ordnance Technology, nor about the SSP-86, is because neither one exists anymore. MRI bought all the rights to the gun, and first made it (incorporating some changes) as the SSP-91, then later changed the name to its current designation as the Lone Eagle. Rather than tell people "I've got an SSP-86 from Ordnance Technology" and then have to go through the whole history of the gun when they invariably say "You've got a what?" -- I just say I have a Lone Eagle pistol and let it go at that. Then if they ask more questions with some genuine interest, I generally go into more detail about the weapon. My pistol is chambered in .35 Remington, a rather robust cartridge that is probably more familiar to riflemen who hunt deer with the lever-action Marlin 336C rifle. With my own handloads, using moly-coated Hornady 180-grain SSP bullets, my pistol (topped with a Bushnell Trophy 2-6x scope) will reliably shoot sub-MOA at 100 yards. As it is currently offered from MRI, the Lone Eagle is available in several chamberings that include the .308 Winchester, .444 Marlin, and .30-06 Springfield.
