lately i've been thinking of reducing my herd of rifles. i seem to have way more than i can shoot, and some i don't care if i shoot. i have very mixed emotions about selling guns... i generally don't do it, but they seem to be getting out of hand.
the first 3 on the chopping block haven't been fired in 2 or more years, and in the case of the ak (sar-1), it has never been fired by me.
just wondering what the consensus is on selling some off. my thinking is if i sell the first 3 off, then i can take the money and buy/build 1 very nice rifle. this would give me one very nice gun that i'd shoot in lieu of 3 average guns that take up space. of course, i bought the guns, and set them up in a way that i liked for a specific use - and that took lots of time and money.
also, any idea on what a fair price is for each one?
the first one is a rem m7 youth in 243 w/ a compact fixed-6 (cabela's alaskan guide - $150 new), and wood stock. the action has been bedded by somebody else, and it works, just doesn't look very good. the gun is in 90-95% condition. it is a pre-iss gun w/ 1-piece leupold base and leupold rings.
the second one is a sar-1 in as-delivered condition, and is unfired by me. got the gun from aim.
the 3rd gun is an old mossberg 22 bolt action. 26" heavy barrel. it is probably in 85% condition. no open sights. there is a weird scope mounted to the gun via the peep-sight holes. the scope holds zero just fine, but as far as i am concerned, the scope adds no value. don't even know the brand.
thanks for any suggestions or pricing help.
