Title: FS - Who buys used muzzleloaders?
Post by: The100Road on June 11, 2013, 05:56:00 PM: ive called quit a few guns shops around the Tacoma area and the only one that buys muzzleloaders is the shop on riverroad in Puyallup. You guys have any other ideas? Just looking to see what i could get for it or if its just worth keeping.

Thanks.

Ive called a few pawn shops also with no luck.

I have a Traditions Vortek NW edition. that i bought about a year and a half ago. (its not the magnum but i havent had any of the earlier version issues) I just got a new Browning 300win mag so im going to give that a shot this year instead.

I thought about that but i didnt really want to put it "up for sale" i kinda want to just find out what i could potentially get for it, then make my decision.

Looks like 469.00 to 549.00 for a new one.

Thats about what i paid for it. I got an offer from a guy at work for $225. do you think that is a fare offer? it seems a little low sense its only one season old but i might be kind of biased. There is a tiny bit of camo rubbed off on the bottom but that is about it.

Post by: jackelope on June 11, 2013, 09:50:40 PM: If it were mine and I paid $500 I'd ask $325 for it assuming it was in like new shape and clean. The problem you might have with it is the reputation some of them have with the problems you mentioned. Looks like a nice gun though. How's it shoot?

Thats more like what i was thinking. Shoots good. I had a CVA elkhorn before this one and like this one WAY better.
