    I am debating selling this since I never shoot it. I have put maybe 100-150 rounds through it. I don't mess with guns very much, in fact this is the only "hunting" gun I own and I don't even hunt anything with it.

    I want to pick up a new gun for concealed carry. Just need an idea of what to ask for this if I do sell or trade this for a "new" hand gun.

    *edit* update with what I paid for the equipment.

    Savage .17HMR with Accu-Trigger, Laminate Thumb-hole stock with floating Stainless barrel. (paid $400)
    Nikon Pro-Staff 3x9x40. (paid $180)
    3 stainless clips. (paid $40 for the extra 2)
    The "Claw" sling. (paid $20)
    Butler Creek neoprene scope cover. (paid $10)
    200 rounds of Hornady. (paid $74)

    I would start out around $350-$400. The basic model of that rifle retails new for $249. The scope retails for around $130. Together I would start high and you can always come down on price, maybe even go $450 with everything else you have with it. I don't know much about these. This is just what I got from a couple of quick searches. Hope this helps.

    $450 is a good starting point Scott as the buyer will probably try to beat you up a bit on the price.

    The gun was $400 and I paid $180 for the scope at Cabelas. For some reason they charge $20 extra for the silver finish rather than black :confused:

    Thanks so far guys.

    Buckeye, I'd ask $425 for it. I'd probably try and sell it over on www.predatormastersforums.com, you will get rid of it pretty quickly there.

    I used to have the same gun except with the synthetic stock on it, it was amazingly accurate. Still not sure why I sold the thing to be honest.

    Ask and see

    Retail is what you pay...
    Wholesale is what others expect.

    Depending on your buyer expect 300 to 400

    do some searching on www.gunbroker.com you can get an idea of what same or similar setups are selling for

    I LOVE gunbroker - but I am a full on gun nut - I build AR's and AK's from kits and scratch.

    Going to do gunsmithing when I retire - basement invite only routine.

    I'll give ya $50;):D



    Seriously, I'd ask $425-$450 to start out and then drop the price from there. You can always go to a pawn shop and see how much they'll give you, then add $100 to what they said and you'll be in the right range:)
