how much would you pay

[COUESAZ]

I am looking at a gun that my brother has for sale. I know what I am paying for it but what you you pay for it. It is a rem model 700 30-06 It is only about four years old. Has the ingraved stock with the black tip on the end of the stock. It has the open sites on it also( not that important to me). It has the ammo door at the bottom also so you can unload it by droping that door and getting the rounds out that way . And not have to load and unload each round.

 

Now for the only thing wrong with it. My brother droped it last year while hunting and the very bottom corner of the stock broke off. It is like a 1/4 inch that broke off. It is at the bottom of the shoulder piece of the butt. It is still shootable and will get a stock in the future. I do not need the gun but will buy it because I fill the need to buy another rifle and do not have a 30-06 any more.

 

Just wondering what the used market value is on this gun.

blue book values around $275-$300.It's hard to tell without looking at the gun.

Just buy it since its your brothers and you want an 06. What I would pay for it from my brother would be 200.00.......but again, what I think is secondary........just make sure you haggle and fight with your brother over the price...................LOL................Allen......

Well he is my little brother but the last time we boxed in the back yard he darn near put me down for the count. And now I have a gun that will most likely set in the closet until one of my nephews or son are old enough to use it. I had it for 1 hour and had the stock fixed with one of those rubber slide over but pads it will work fine.

 

Or I will just buy a stock out of cabelas for 80.00 for it. He is also saling a remington 338. for 400.00 or 375.00 not sure. he thinks he need the 300 ultra mag. maybe he is going to hunt elephants or something. I keep reminding him that the 243 he has killed more deer than any other gun I have owned.(when it was mine).
