    Gavarm 22 semi auto

    Been offered one of these, pretty much all I know is they fire from an open bolt, and seem to be as reliable as a shovel.
    Any idea what they’re worth, as a ballpark figure ?
    Cheers

    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    I have one up on here for 450 and no one is keen so I'd say in the 300's.

    Does it look like a normal 22 rifle or is it the alloy body take down one that resembles a semi shotgun?

    fired one once with remmy yellowjacket, case split and i got a facefull of powder. no issues with other ammo. but not great for super accuracy as the bolt flying forwards can upset aim at distance

    My first 22, one of the conventional looking ones, interesting rifles but long spongy trigger pull and heavy bolt flying forward with long ‘lock time’ doesn’t help accuracy.
