Depending on condition, around $450. High will be $600 and no lower than $350.
That's about right. Remington 700's don't really hold an "old gun" value, as they are simply "working" guns.
Is it the BDL or ADL?

not trying to rain on your parade, but I buy a lot of guns and have seen a bunch of "new" guns before.

Gunbroker broker is a poor gauge for weapon prices. Certain areas of the country do better than others for certain guns. Always some clown on there that wants $400 for a jennings .25 cal.Actually, GunBroker is a very good source to find out firearm, NOT WEAPONS, prices. Just because some one has something for sale, as you mentioned a $400 .25 Jennings, does not mean it sold, or ever will sell. While prices for items may differ in different locations, auction houses like GunBroker, Auction Arms, Ebay, and GunsAmerica will give you a very realistic starting place to know the real world value of your item. No, you probably will not get the same price locally, but it will usually even out because of shipping and FFL fees.
That is why you check the sold prices and you can get a very good estimation of value, the only variable is not knowing the exact condition the item is in.

Agreed. They are great places to find a starting price and see what some of them are going for. I would say $500-550 for the 700. Roughly $375 for the gun and $175 for the scope.

Must have found a sucker then as got $810 for it
Count your self as lucky and buy a couple lottery tickets with the $10 you made over $800. You could buy that bun scope combo new for less than $800.

Gunbroker is where I look when I want to see the most ridiculous price that some idiot thinks their gun/ammo is worth, seattle guns is better but I frequently find better prices on Bud's for NEW guns vs used anywhere else. With the way I see people take care of their guns I have very little interest in buying used guns unless I know the history.
i may sound stupid but whats Bud's? i'm always looking for new places to find guns. thanks.

They have always been great to deal with in my experience and beating their prices on new guns is tough as well.

Some prices are ridiculous but the selection is greater. Haven't bought a new gun in about 7 years so not sure on those prices.. Most the new stuff is overpriced or junk or both IMO. I'd rather buy a nice old Model 70 for $700 than some camo'd garbage Savage for the same $$ and the Win. is only going to appreciate while the Savage will be at the pawn shop for $250 in five years. :twocents:

You can have them. What's your savage going to be worth in a few years?? What's the Winchester going to be worth? I look at all of them as an investment as well as a tool for hunting. Savage was just an example.. I understand they have come a long ways and are probably fine. I got a few older Savage's and the quality is low in my opinion. :twocents:

My Savage rifles shoot well enough that I doubt I'll find out what they are worth any time soon :P That said I didn't buy them to collect dust in a safe, I bought them to be taken out for long walks in the rain (lol), snow or whatever. I had my 308 soaked from one end to the other while out with it a few days ago, I got home and wiped it off and used maybe a drop of clp over the whole rifle and shoved it back in it's case. Tomorrow it will likely get soaked again! Care to take one of your investments for a walk in the rain? I'm always down to meet new people and see new areas, maybe we'll even find a bear or two! I would settle for grouse though.
If you haven't tried one of the new Savage rifles you really don't know what you are missing, tough, well built rifles with an extremely fast lock time, good barrels and triggers mated to IMO sub-par stocks. I did switch my 308's stock for a Bell & Carlson, the factory stock had too much fore-end flex for my liking.
FWIW I was able to get 5/8-3/4" groups with the factory stock using Federal 150gr soft points, the B&C stock just made it harder to screw up what the rifle is capable of.

I never sell my guns. So not really an issue. I prefer composite stocks they are lighter, stronger and last longer in this wet state of ours. They are tools too me. Hunting is my passion not gun collecting.

To each his own. I buy a lot of mine to collect dust in my safe.

Hunting is my passion also but buying/selling/investing in guns is right behind that.. Guns are a better investment than the stock market IMO. A nice gun will always appreciate in value and generally at a greater rate than the stock market. I agree about the composite stocks on the westside and for weight.
