How do I figure out the value of a rifle?

This site has a buy and sell. The issue you are going to have is "Trader Rating". If you do not have a trader history selling is going to be tough to do on line with remote buyers. You do have the option to deal with guys with extensive trader ratings, send the gun to their registered transfer agent and get paid on arrival at the transfer agent. Local guys will be fine because they are face to face. Gun show is another face to face option or consign at local gun shop, or sell at auction are going to be your main options.
 
eBay is viable but remember they are going to charge you a fee at the end of every month you sell something.

i agree sell the parts, get what you can from the rifle
value of the action, maybe the stock if you know what it is
used bbl just hard to put value on...why would anyone sell a great shooting rifle ?
so the bbl is suspect right off the bat

I'm selling to fund a Les Baer 1911 that is on my bucket list.

I'd sell the scope separately, along with rings, bipod, and trigger and reinstall the original trigger.
A friend bought the same gun in 300rum with 100 rounds through it, it came with brass and dies. Was bedded with brake installed by local gunsmith. He paid $700canadian for it.
He shot it some then resold it for more later on.

Best advice! Exactly what I would suggest.
 
I've been trying to sell a Stiller Action, Brux barrel, in a AI Chassis in .260 Rem and not having much luck. It's a sweet shooter. My thoughts are people are wanting the "parts & cartridge of the year" and everything else isn't worth much.

If you have an accurate load for that rifle you might try selling as a ready to shoot package. I don't see how parting out a gun like that will get you more.

From my point of view, if people don't want to pay a certain amount they can go have there own rifle built, pay the extra $1000+, and get it to shoot themselves. I'll just keep it.
 
Warning! This thread is more than 6 years ago old.
