Help me out on value of rem 700

[DUNEZRUNNER]

I am looking at a newer Remington 700 SPS-Varmint .308/26" heavy barrel with about 120 rounds shot through it. It is all stock and appears to be in good condition. Is $500 a decent deal for this gun.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thomas

I don't think it's bad or good. Last Oct I bought a Stainless version SPS in .22-250 for $480 new.

I suspect you could pick up a new one for about the same price as that used gun if you look around. But then 120 rounds is nothing.

I just bought one new from Buds for $550 shipping included about a month ago.

They must have gone up somewhat if new they are going for $550.

No, I'd say $350 if w/o a scope and not getting to shoot it first.

Maybe a little high. I bought an SPS tactical last year for $549 and the AAC-SD version for $599. $500 for a used gun that's only $559 new is marginal. Here's a link from able ammo- http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/adv...s+varmint&categories_id=&x=0&y=0&inc_subcat=1

Hate to say it but if new is $550 and used is $500 I'd pass. I think $350 is low but I'd pay $400 or $450 if in good shape.

Is it from someone you know? If it's a gunstore, pass.

 

[DUNEZRUNNER]

Thanks for all of the replies. It is from a local gun. I don't know him and I think I am going to pass. Starting to think I might want to get a savage instead too.

Thanks

Nothing wrong with Savage or Remington, I've owned both. The Savage rifles are gone now and I still have my Remingtons.

Go back to the shop and offer $400 for that rifle. If they don't take it they're being foolish.

i wouldnt give over 400 for it.
