If this is in the wrong section, I am sorry, and please move it to where it should be.
Hi fellow THR's. I am by far no expert or anywhere near as far as firearms are concerned, you could even call me a Newbie or Green. I am in the market for a Ruger 10/22, I am a firm beliver in buying from local rather than big chain. I also want to avoid the online buying due to the price for a brand new or used one plus shipping, transfer and backround will most likely exceed what I can purchase for down the street at the local mom and pop store. Now, on to the buying part. The shop I went into has a 1980's Ruger 10/22 wooden stock, no rust on any part of it (that I could see), a Bushnell scope (unknown model) 4x32mm, and a decent looking leather sling. He says he is willing to part with it for 250 (he also says he is "willing to work with me). The local gun stores and "big box" stores have a brand new one priced at 280+tax+ncis and no accessories.. I'm guessing I could prolly get him lower, or atleast waive tax+ncis, but I don't want to insult him with a low offer because I'm clearly ignorant on the correct price for a used with accessories. If you can, please give me a appropriate price range. I'm inexperienced with gun buying, but want as much bang for my buck without cheating the guy out of his profit. Thanks in advance.
