Good Morning Gents,
In looking around for a Left-Handed Rem 700, I'm finding a lot of handsome older guns.
How does one price an older, used rifle?
What I am looking for is a good condition, usable field (Left Handed) bolt gun that isn't going to cost me $800.
I'm pretty well set on 30-06 because it's easy to cast/load for and you can find ammo literally anywhere for fairly cheap.
My thought was to put a synthetic stock on it for hunting and general use, but keep the nice wood stock stored.
At this point in my life (full time job, living with in-laws, 2 young daughters with a third on the way) I don't have time/money/space to load/cast, so I'm buying factory ammo.
Basically, how do I know I'm getting a good deal and how do I negotiate a good deal on a decent condition used gun that I can be proud passing down, but not be heartbroken if I mess it up?
Thanks!
Chris
