Sold as a complete package on used guns $ 650 - $ 750 AU if you want it gone reasonably quickly .
If your asking over $ 850 for it , it may take awhile to sell .
You have to remember Cleavers and a few others have brand new Howa's for example for under $ 700 , a buyer has no way of knowing how many rounds your rifle has shot and no backup or guarantee like they would get if they bought brand new from a dealer .
I have sold off a few firearms laterly and my advice is to sell scope , stock and firearm seperately , you will financially better off that way .
I personally would think long and hard about selling it especially if it has some family history connected to it , I bet their isn't a shooter alive that doesn't regret selling at least one of the rifles and wishes they never did it .

True, and I was going to keep it for purely sentimental value and don't really wanna get rid of it but at the end of the day if I do it'll just sit there and never get used. I spoke to the old man and he's ok with it. I'd rather see someone else using it than just going to waste.
I have spoken to two gun dealers and they said it should be worth that $1000-1100 mark but as you said getting it is the hardest part.

I have considered selling the rifle and synthetic stock separately, reckon I could get about the same money but sell it easier.

I'm not going for profit I just want to take out as much money off the new rifle I want as possible
