Thread: low mileage guns for sale

I'll be selling a Howa 6.5 soon. I've fired like 100 rounds through it at the range, if that and one at a deer. That actually sounds really sad.

i can see why youd do it with a tikka once you by it and put a couple of rounds through it they magicly go up in value wonder what mines worth now

or put apick of the target in the add

People by a centrefire rifle that's supposed to shoot MOA then go put a box through and think the rifle cant shoot for shit.. Where its actually they can't shoot for shit, yet.... Then sell it off as an MOA gun because the box guarantees it. That's me being pessimistic though.

Each to their own. Lowest use rifle here is on its third barrel.

Hmm I own a fair few guns I have either not fired or that have only been to the range once. I have also sold a few that are as new and taken the hit that goes with it.

Not everyone can justify keeping things they don't use eg a mate just sold a Remington 700 7mm rem mag that had less than two boxs through it as he never used it after buying a smaller sako 85 that suits him better. He held off selling it for a few years but obviously decided cash was more useful

A dealer I was talking to said they not infrequently run into bigger bangers like 300WSMs in a light gun where the pounding puts the owner off and they decide to quit it. 20 rounds I could believe in those type of rifles.

If you're changing the way your store your firearms after inspection, you should notify. Bit like changing address.

Nah same way, same location just another (better) safe.

If you're changing the way you store your firearms after the previous inspection, you should notify. There is a good reason for this, but different AO's seems to apply different rules. Remember it's just your word that it's a better safe, better to have it documented in case things go pear shaped one day by shitheads.

I'm selling a couple of Rem magnums that hadn't been fired until this morning.

I got them ages ago to build some custom rifles on, but since I've been using more custom actions lately they are sitting there in the safe doing nothing so I thought I would move them on.
