I have an old M77 (tang safety) that's been collecting dust for a while and have been thinking about selling/trading it to something more useful to me. Gun has a laminated stock, blued and is exceptional (9.5/10) condition. It has a Leupold Vari-X III (I believe a 4.5-16x or similar) that's also fairly old that I could sell with the gun. Unfortunately I'm away from home and couldn't find any pictures but that's what I remember off the top of my head.
I took it to a LGS a while back and they offered $400 for the scope/rifle which I thought seemed much too low but it's more pawn shop than gun store. I'm thinking maybe $400-500 for the rifle to a private party, $750 with scope and maybe $100 less to a store that would resell it. Does that sound about right? I have my eye on a Blackhawk convertible at another LGS so I may see if they would do better on a trade but wanted to make sure I was in the right range first.
Any advice would be appreciated, I've checked gunbroker and haven't found one that's the exact same but $4-500 seems about right for the gun...the scope I'm not sure about. My apologies if this was posted in the wrong place, I saw a few other threads so thought this was appropriate. Thanks!
