Thread: Value estimate

SH Sako 85 - 20" bbl- wood/blue- bavarian style oiled walnut stock- set trigger- tidy condition - .308win - original iron sights still attached ?

Pictures will be your greatest asset here

308 is medium action, help to have a approx shot count as well, rings included? what type? optiloks are expensive. Nice rifles.

Ar

Bare rifle with iron sights. As far as I an ascertain the round count is around 500 and had no pitting and been looked after.

Hope, around the 2k give or take couple hundy, lately its a pretty tough market. Put it on TM see where its at, decent reserve offer it less TM fees on this sight. Great site for us honest shooting folk, hate lining TM's pockets.

Just want to do right by my friend.

New price at Shunned Shop is 3300.
70% of $3200 is between $2100 and $2400 depending on accessories like sling swivels, mounts, etc Used to be that optilocks came with them standard.
I wouldn't take anything more off for scratches and dents or a bit of rust on the bluing, but maybe would if the factory barrel has been shortened. The Bavarian stock and set trigger may count against it in some eyes but if a buyer talks about those the gun is not for them. As you know, the barrel will do at least 2500 rounds more like 5000 so don't worry about the round count.
If people try to bargain down the cash price, try and keep it up by offering unneeded accessories like the used brass, maybe dies, 308 cleaning gear which is all worth money to the buyer.

I bought an immaculate 6.5x55 Bavarian 4 years ago for $2200 (Rings the only extras). I was interested to see a similiar rifle with a Zeiss scope (from memory) sell for approx $1800 on tm a couple of months ago - I wondered if wood/blued rifles have fallen out of fashion completely, or is it just economic uncertainty holding people back from buying?

Not sure. Shops have these on shelf for around $3600 bare rifle new so presumeably there are customers about who pay those high prices! The market seems all over the place for some reason.
From the feedback on here it would seem this rifles market value at present would be around $2250 without extras.

It''s a slow second hand market these days, hardly any rifles are selling. Yet people are asking more for them for some reason. And its hard to send them anywhere.

For what you have described I would say $2300.00 depending on who just got paid this week. Some people would price it higher, but some people would do anything. That would be a reasonable price I think.
