Title: What's it worth? Savage .243
Post by: hunting4sanity on February 11, 2012, 01:11:25 PM: Just wondering what would be a fair price for a Savage .243? The guns about 8 yrs old, shot maybe 4 or 5 boxes of ammo, cheap black synthetic stock with scope combo, heavy trigger pull (not an AccuTrigger), it just sits in the old gun cabinet. I've never sold a gun, they're like my kids - even if I'm not getting along with 'em they still always have a home. Told my friend he can use it anytime he wants, but he wants to buy it for some reason, so I'm just curious what's a fair price range?

I can't remember what I paid for it either, it was a rifle scope/combo from WalMart or BiMart for my youngest son who then started archery and the gun pretty much just sits.

I think I bought one off of someone on here for $250 and sold it to someone else on here for $200 but it had a homebrew camo paint job on it which I took as detracting from the value.

Post by: Slenk on February 12, 2012, 06:38:03 AM: I bought a New DBM model 111 last year for $349 at bi-mart
it was a package w/scope.
Just bought a new stevens for $269
Stevens is the same as Savage model 10

If he is a good friend, just find something worth trading it for, or about $250 ball park.
