Big Town @ Mesquite... I saw it, went down the row, walked back to get it and a guy grabbed it off the rack...

Your best bet is to go on GunBroker and see what things are going for. Then take into account your local market and whether or not there is a premium demand for the item. $875 seems like a great price for one. I see one on GunBroker for $999 with a buy now of $1400. The new Sendero rifles, which no longer come in .338 RUM are like $1500 at msrp. If the gun is in good shape I would say that you are in the asking range of $1300 to $1400 and may end up going down to $1000 if you really NEED to sell it. I don't know if I would take under $1000 for the rifle myself. I guess it depends on how badly I needed the money. I much rather prefer to trade rifles. It seems so much more civilized.

I saw the one on GB... with how soft the market is for hunting rifles I don't think they will get the buy it now... but it is a hard to find chambering.
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if this one gets listed on GB in the near future. I think the price was set to sell because it isn't a sought after gun here in Texas so the guy may resell to make a quick buck.

I looked on GB and haven't seen it listed

Yeah. I don't see a lot of use for it in Texas. I would think that most of the guys who would want a gun like that would be thinking moose, elk, bears etc. I'll bet if it were a 7mm RUM it would have brought top dollar in your AO. Lots of guys wanting to shoot deer waaaaaaaaay over there in TX.
I don't have much use for a 22-250 in Georgia, but if I were in prairie dog country I would probably own three. Its the same way with that big 338. A handful of long range shooters might like it, but thats about it.
If I bought one for a good price I would hold on to it I think.
I plan on holding on to it I was the guy at mesquite who pulled it off the rack

Small world!! And great snag, I don't think they knew what they had. I'm a lefty but was going to take it anyways but I hesitated when it was at one of the first tables I walked past.
Ended up building a 338RUM with Alamo Precision-- tack driver so far with factory 250gr LRX out to 800 yards.
If you ever decide to move that rifle lemme know!
