Hiya all,

I have a friend who is need of money and wants to sell two of his rifles. He has a Marlin 30-30 with a scope, really nice condition, steel, wood, scope, all look good. He also has a GameMaster 6mm with a scope. This one is in fair condition, steel is nice, wood is a little ratty, nicks, scratches, etc. He really is a friend and I don't want to screw him, but on the same token, I don't want to get screwed either. What would these rifles be worth on an average please? I believe the scopes are both 3x9's and Bushnells.

Thanks allot!

I kind of thought this may be a "slow to get an answer" thread. I'm not looking for exact figures here, just an idea of what the rifles may be worth. I really am only interested in helping out my bud and will use these rifles for Sunday shooting. Any ideas as to their value would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rattler

for the marlin, $200 would probably be fair.

not at all familiar w/ the other, though. just a w.a.g. here, but $250 would probably be fair.

i wouldn't put much value on the scopes.

Thanks for the reply. The 6mm is a Remington model 760.

Thanks again
