Thread: Should i sell my rifle as a whole or split to parts

I put my 6.5 prc on the buy sell as whole rifle and no one seemed keen. so i would i be better off to sell it as parts ie barrel ,timmy trigger. action ,ect . your thoughts please gents

Split it up. It suits prospective buyers requirements and will yield you better resale value.

Yeah its in my experience its easier to sell a rifle as individual items; Scope, Suppressor, rifle+rings
Otherwise you are trying to find a buyer looking for that exact package. You can normally get a touch more for the whole thing if broken up too.

Try the complete rifle without scope first, there must be somebody out there that wants it, 6.5pcr is a rather interesting caliber, the person to buy it needs to be able to do simple sums, add the replacement up and compare it to a standard Rem700.

Would have to agree with this.

Theres a sako 85 finnlight on trade me for sale in 6.5 x55. The listing must have been on there for most of this year and includes rifle plus scope/ plus suppressor. Would suspect if the gent seperated the package it would have sold long ago....

And I suspect that if he met the market, then it would’ve sold long ago...
