Question: REMINGTON Model # 85197 (A quasi M-24 Rifle)

[AGL4now]

Yes.....The Remington #85197 is not exactly a M-24 Rifle. But what is the market and market value of this rifle in As New in the Box condition.......??? I think it is a discontinued model in the 700 series of rifles. Does anyone own one......???

No information. Maybe I have this in the wrong section. Just trying to learn about this so I can sell it prudently.

Remington 700 5R Gen 2 in 300 Win Mag.

Before Remington went under, they were around $1,000 +/-. As low as $900 and upwards of $1,200 depending on where you bought from. They alway caught me eye but I never bought one. All the reviews I read were positive. They seem to be shooters.

Just Google the part number + remington and you'll get all the info you need.

There's one in 6.5 Creedmoor on gunbroker.com. You can watch that and see if it sells for a bunch of money.

Thanks, it has been a fair while I last seen one go at auction on Gunbroker.com it went for $1,785.00 Thanks for the help.

I'm going to watch the one on gunbroker. Frankly, it is probably a $1500-$1800 rifle nowadays. I would hate to pay over $1100 myself.

If it is accurate, you have a sweet rifle for $1100 + bedding + decent trigger. If it is a Remington cluster of crap, like they make sometimes, well, for $1500 more, somebody could get it to be a good rifle!

I love the rifle spec..common Remington action, good caliber, reasonably heavy barrel, stiff quality HS Precision stock, Cerakote over SS….If it shoots, wow!

I bought the .300 Win. Mag. #85197 and before I could get 25 Break-in rounds fired, I started going blind, with macular degeneration.
