Tubs Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Now ive just got my variation back and i have to get rid of my old rifle but how do i sell a rifle which has a corroded chamber and needs barrel work. Its a remington 700 sps in 223 with a timney trigger and standard sps stock or do i have to just give it in when getting my new rifle and get no money for it. I was offered £150 for it but only if i bought another 2nd hand rifle from a shop up country . But i want to get a new rifle and a bit more local to me, Any helpful ideas anyone please.

baldie Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 They are stitching you up Tubs. If the exterior finish on the action is ok, then the whole lot is worth £250 , just as a donor action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Pete the 700 action is worth 250, its a fair price to pay for essentially the only part of the rifle that is worth using (unless the stock is laminate or an after market model or HSP. In that scenario the price would of course be more. Alot of dealers offer little money for used rifles - especially ones with shot out barrels because they just scrap them - in the case of BRNO, CZ, etc etc I can understand that, because alot are not worth bothering with, however, in the case of better quality actions - Rem, Tikka, Sako, Winchester, et al......the case is different. Ones with more business accumen will pay a reasonable price then have them re-barrelled. There is one well known company that charges 900 for a trued Rem 700 action. Still lots of margin for profit if you are money orientated if one purchases an action at 250 I think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Its worth £250 to me Pete. If you want to sell it at that Tubs, i,ll give you £250 for it. I always buy remmys in this condition, i refurbish and blueprint them, then sell them as part of a build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
