need a little help pricing a rifle

[CareyH]

So I looked around on gunbroker and the price range varied pretty widely, so I figured asking my helpful friends on here might give me a better idea what its worth.


The rifle is a Remington 700 ADL, 22in barrel, .243 cal, iron sights, jeweled bolt. If I am reading the barrel code right it was made in 1996. The round count is very low.

It has been taking up room in my safe for years and I have not shot it in at least 5yrs so its time for it to go. I just don't know what to ask for it.

Thanks for the help.

Correction!!!! it is the BDL model

Totally wild guess: $600?

It's worth at least $500 as a donor action for a project. Obviously a bare minimum.

Why don't you spin a .260 or .308 barrel on it and come play long range games with us? The bolt is already correct.

then I have to get a good stock, bottom metal, scope, rings and base. then all the stuff to load the 260...... I already play all the gun games I can afford LOL.

Gonna play devils advocate.
Common rifle, used rifle, ADL can be a detractor to some, very good but not uber popular cartridge.
$4-450.00
I picked up the same rifle last year but 1976 vintage, a touch of surface rust and the barrel was zapped from a rag being left in it for God only knows how long.
I gave 200.00 for it.
Tim throws a good thought, rebarrel it and build a PR. Eventually that is what the one I picked up will become.

Ok, so according to the 25th blue book. Roughly, of course. In the synthetic stock MSR is $500...... 100% resale is $460. 98% is $360.

How ever it is comming up on hunting season. So "street" value may be around $450 to $550 or so. Depending on a buyer and how many accessories if any come with it, ammo, sling, scope. Etc.

Hope this helps.

Probably worth about $400. Doubtful you can get much more than $450.

[HBARleatherneck]

dont they sell the ADL in common calibers with scope at Walmart for $450?
