Encore value??

[Idaho_Elk_Huntr]

Can someone tell me what a Blues regular Encore frame with walnut stock and 2 walnut forearms, stainless 308 24 inch barrel with iron sights and a blued 26 inch bull barrel in 223 in great condition (95%+) would be worth?

Thanks for the help!!

28th edition of Blue Book Gun Values states:
$320.00 in 95% condition add $43.00 for walnut stock & forearm add
about $300.00 for extra stainless barrel [ a little high on the barrel in
my opinion.]

Thanks!!

$600-$800 would be a decent deal. The condition of the wood has a lot to do with it. Check out the trigger before you buy it. Every Encore I have seen needed a trigger job(but then don't all rifles need that). Tom.

Trigger jobs are pretty easy on Encores. If nothing else just change the spring out to lighten the pull.
I agree value would be 6 to 8 hundred. I paid 300 for my blued walnut encore new at sportsmans warehouse, but I got a good deal on it. I paid even less for my contender there.
