I have been looking for a good rifle as of late and this is what I find.
What I expected:
I would prefer to buy a good used rifle that somebody is giving up because they don't use it or it wasn't what they were looking for etc. Not used that much but again not knew so a little cheaper than one from say Dunham's or Dick's or Buds.
ANYWAY What I find IS:
All the guns on Armslist (those few that aren't scams) are priced 1, 2, or 3 OR HIGHER ABOVE what I can buy a new rifle for!!!
What is the deal? What am I missing? I went today to Dunham's to check on the difference in ammo price between 22-250 and 308 (not much difference) and checked on a basic 22-250 and 308 Remington sps rifle for what resulted in $530 for a good basic hunting rifle.
Every rifle I find on Armslist or local classifieds they want $700 or $800 or $900 for a sps rifle with a cheap wal-mart scope stuck on it.
I ust thought maybe you guys here could help me out because I don't get it.
They scare is over and you can't screw people anymore. Even ammo is back on the shelf (with the exception of .22's).
