Good for you. It's a nice piece. Makes me feel better about the weapons that I've bought for investments, although almost all of the rifles have some very light use.
Remington 700 value?

FYI,
The lack of a white insert on the fore grip tip is a sign of a Custom Shop rifle. Since the receiver is 2018 vintage the rifle was assembled by Dakota Arms which was functioning as the Custom Shop.

I don't have any with a white spacer. When did they start that. I know that all of mine are at least 20 yrs. old so I'm just curious. Did Dakota do really good custom shop work?
Not to be a buzz kill here but I know a great many sauvy gun owners who wouldn't give a single US dollar bill for a Rem rifle made in the last 5 years of production before bankruptcy much less one made in the last 5 days!
Regardless of how great it looks.

Malingering !!! You are not killing anyone's so called buzz, it is just senseless, meritless opinion you have projected.
I think it has plenty of merit. However I asked my wife and she agreed with you that I rarely have any sense. So I'll give ya 50% credit for your reply.
*Tips hat*
Have a great day!

I've seen Remington 700s coming through at 4 to 5 times what they retailed for when new over the last few years. I'm guilty of overpaying for one myself. I found a 700 LH LSS in 338 RUM and bid it well over its value because I knew I'd never find another one in like new condition again. It had never been fired since it left the factory. The guy made $1200 on his investment over 25 years. I have a coworker that paid over $2k for one in .257 Robert's a couple years ago. I think that was a situation of late night drinking whiskey, while he was on an auction site.
Heck. I'd pay about treefiddy for one of the new Alpha 1 rifles.

I'm not sure if I would. A couple years before they went bankrupt, a guy in my original hometown area caught a bolt in the face while sighting in his new rifle with factory ammo. They were able to show that it was a quality issue with the rifle that caused it. My family who still live in the area won't go near a Remington 700 if they don't know the date of manufacture. The guy did live but had to have several repair surgeries. I personally like all my 700's and 722's but they're all older ones too.
