Remington 700 30.06

[firemanstrickland]

hello all,

I have a remington model 700 30.06 with a bushnell banner 6x18x50mm scope for sale, but i dont know how much its actually worth, i need some help on how much to sell it for, please help!

 

[Skylerbone]

It will depend on model (ADL,BDL,CDL,VTR,STS,etc.), condition and who is buying. Specifics or pics would help.

Need more specifics. If you're looking for actual blue book value though, you can get one online.

 

[firemanstrickland]

i am terribly sorry guys, i didnt give any detail, im really not sure of the model but its a nice gun, no major scratches,no rust, approx 50 rnds through it, i will post some pics, and how do i check the blue book value on it?

 

[firemanstrickland]

im trying to download the pics

 

[speaksoftly]

If you google "blue book for guns" you'll get a lot of options. Personally, I've used usedprice.com before and had good results. It's a pay site though and I'm sure there are free sites out there somewhere. Also, just about any gun store would have a blue book to reference.

 

[firemanstrickland]

thank you, for some reason i can not get the pics to upload

Locally a combo like that is for sale for $425.00.

i have got to be honest, i have no clue what model it is, i am looking at the rifle rite now, how do i figure out what model it is?

Read everything it says on the rifle.

 

[firemanstrickland]

i did, all it says is remington 700 30.06 springfield and the warning label and serial number, THATS IT, nothing else

 

[Skylerbone]

Ok, stock: wood or composite, black or walnut?

Barrel: matte (lightly textured), blued or stainless?

Trigger: grooved or smooth?

 

[firemanstrickland]

ok, wood stock, blued barrel, and smooth trigger.

Opening floor plate under magazine? Black cap on front of stock?

 

[MT GUNNY]

NeverMind, had a bad pic.

Glossy stock with a floor plate? = BDL

Best bet is to look at gunbroker and see what they're selling for, not what some people are asking.


That scope really adds no value to the gun, the 425.00 ish range is probably close for most areas. With the scope possibly 450.00-475.00 to the right person, but that will be on the high side for any free classifieds on any gun forum.

 

[firemanstrickland]

no opening floor plate and no black cap

 

[Skylerbone]

700 ADL. New price was likely about $325-$350. The scope sells new for $125. How much it will sell for is anyone's guess.

 

[firemanstrickland]

Thanks for the valuable info.

 

[Skylerbone]

Hope it helps. FWIW in 1990 my 700 BDL (in 30-06) cost about $399. They are somewhere north of $725 at present. The BDL is identical to yours save the black end cap and hinged magazine floorplate. Of course used is used. I bought a Winchester Model 70 in -06 used about a month ago for $319 that I estimate to be a few years newer than my Remington. It was a blind mag. (no hinged floorplate) with synthetic stock but no scope or mounts.

You might ask $400 from a private seller and negotiate from there but on trade you'll get not a penny more than book for it as the store needs to make a profit on both your trade and any purchase you make.

this rifle has been sold, i am not sure how to close the thread

 

[jimmyraythomason]

You can only close a thread that YOU start in the Trading Post forum. Since this is the Rifle Country forum,ask a moderator to close it.

Interesting thread to me. I inherited my dad's 700 .30-06, sounds like it's a BDL model. It's priceless to me 'cause it was Dad's.
