Title: Want your input on a gun
Post by: LittleJohn on January 19, 2010, 05:41:20 PM: I am looking at a Rem Model 7. 300 WSM with the fluted barrel and camo stock. It has a 3x9 Ziess on it. He has a reciept for 949$ on the gun and 699$ for the scope. It looks 100% and he claims he only shot it 5 times and has the other 15 rounds with it. How much is it worth ???>?

does anyone have any input on the model 7 and how it shoots. I was told Rem discontinued this particular model. Really like the looks and feel and am thinking about picking it up. It is really light weight. :dunno: :dunno: :P THANKS GUYS

Looking at my wholesale catalog, the gun was $799.99 @ cost. Be a hellava gun if'n you could get a good deal on it. Later man...

Post by: LittleJohn on January 20, 2010, 05:16:39 AM: Thanks for the input guys. Sounds like he paid too much for it to start with. I can get the package for 1000$.
Can anyone find a retail price on a stainless, fluted, camo stock, model 7 for me :dunno: :dunno:

Post by: DOUBLELUNG on January 20, 2010, 06:43:28 AM: I just can't see giving more than $750 for the package. Numerous Remington Model 7 Predator (camo, fluted barrel) on Gunbroker right now for $636 new in the box. The Zeiss Conquest you can pick up under $400. Looks to em like he paid $1650 for a rifle that can be had for $1100, new, to your specs, for about $1100.

He can reasonably hold out for about 80% of that, but my top offer would be $750. I would be giddy to get it for $500. But then I'm a cheap sucker and love to shop for bargains on firearms.

Post by: GoldTip on January 20, 2010, 06:58:12 AM: See if he'll let you shoot ti firts before buying. Why's he selling it. If you really like the gun and it's something you'd make possibly your "everyday" gun, then $900 seems not too bad if he'll let you shoot it first. If not I gotta agree with doublelung, I'd offer him $750.

Forgot to add this, my buddies kid has a model seven and I know two other guy who shoot them and they are dang fine shooters.

he claims he only shot it 5 times and has the other 15 rounds with it.

That's probably because he couldn't handle the recoil. A 300 WSM in that little model 7 is a little too much in my opinion. I've got one in a 243 Winchester but for a 300 WSM I'd be looking for a heavier rifle.

He got stroked on both IMO. I'm w/ High Country.... around 900-1K. I'd lay down 17 50$ bills and see what he says.
