the auctions are kind of a joke on price. to find out what a firearm Is worth look at completed auctions if no one bid on it it aint worth the asking price. Many items on Gunbroker have been on there for months and some for more than a year. and then thee is the ones with reserve on the price. I will not bid on anything with a reserve. when I sell I put the least amount I will sell for and start there. so far every item I have put on auction has sold within 3 weeks. to see closed auctions you have to be registered to buy and sell.  I rifle is worth what ever some one will pay for it.

They are great starter rifles for someone just getting into predator hunting.  They can be very accurate, hopefully the inside of the barrel is in better condition than the outside.  Yes they can be scoped, I think Weaver still makes a side mount for them and you can see the screw hole in on of the pictures to mount it.  B-Square also makes a side mount for it.

There isn't a lot that you can do with them other than shoot them the way they are and for the condition $150-$200 if the barrel is still good sounds about right.

I killed a lot of critters with this one.  More than paid for itself when fox were a $100.



The 222 Rem. is no slouch either.  It is my goto coyote hunting round, I shoot it in a model 70, and Sako Vixen for called coyotes and in a custom Savage Model 10 for varmints and targets.  It is only slightly less powerful than a 223.

Picked up a Savage 340B .222 complete with side mount and 3x6 Weaver scope at an auction a few years ago.  Gun is in great condition.  Doubt I'll get rid of it.
