I have a 7 year old Ruger m77 270. Its the all weather version stainless with a black hogue rubber stock and a nikon buckmaster 3-9 scope. Maybe 60 rounds through it. A friend was interested in buying it and i have no idea on the price. Can anyone help me out?
 
With the scope and selling to a guy who is what I'd call a retail buyer I'd say between $600-$700.
 
Find the cost of a new one identical to yours. Figure 50-75% for a used one, depending on condition, caiber etc. In this case you are probably looking at closer to 75% if it is the Hawkeye which came out in 2006. Probably a little less if it is the MK-II. The Hawkeye had a few improvents, especially the trigger which should help value. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to start a little high, you can always come down.

A budget scope adds about 25-50% of a new scopes value.

A new rifle is about $650, the scope $200 so I'd guess $450-$500 for the rifle, and $50-$100 extra for the scope.

Call it $500-$600 for the package if it were the Hawkeye, about $50 less if not. A lot varies by region, time of the year and other conditions but that is a ballpark figure for where I live in late June. Might bring a little more closer to hunting season. A little more or less in other parts of the country.
 
A lot of the MkIIs have the newer trigger. If it is hollow on the back it is the new trigger. Many, including myself prefer the MkIIs over the Hawkeye.
 
$600 range fits the used market in my area in VG condition. This should make a great deer setup. Would guess you have some ammo to sweeten the deal.
