I'm selling it. The time has come to start getting rid of stuff.

Just looked at a few. Man am I out of the loop. Makes me like mine in .222 even more. mtmuley

Was I close? I was shooting from the hip.

Condition...I'd guess $400-450

@T Bone probably has a better grasp on the prices than I do.

I have one in 22-250. It’s as ugly as my first girlfriend but it is accurate as hell.

I had her too.

Search "Remington 788 bolt" on ebay. I have parted a couple of them out. They are worth considerably more in pieces, even without the bare action.

These rifles used to be such a bargain. F the internet. mtmuley

 

[MTTW]

They are still a bargain.

BC,
Just sold two locally (Treasure Valley) in .243. Maybe a tad better condition. Got $575 each. One had a Nikon BDC scope and rings. Other had extra stock (cut down for youth). Your mileage may vary. With older Leupold, maybe start at $600. Can always lower price.

Have to find the right buyer. New, modern budget rifles are lighter, some shoot just as well, but not as pretty for same or less price.

This is my first attempt at this. Trying to line up a local ffl to get started, not much luck yet.

Some gun smiths will act as the ffl.

Things might have changed since I sold a few guns. The law was I had to ship to an FFL and the FFL had to run the background check. I asked for confirmation from the FFL to ensure everything was good.

Maybe someone can confirm is this is still true.

The guys that used to do it near me have gave it up. Too much bureaucracy and paperwork. I use a gunsmith in Idaho that I'll check with.
