I may as well sell it but haven't a clue as to how to go about it. My ex always did the "gun stuff" so he was the one that always did the buying/selling and trading. (He did the guns ... I did the horses.)
I'm not acquainted with any of the local gun shops. There doesn't seem to be a good local "classified ads paper" in this area, like the "Nifty Nickle" types I used before. The local weekly newspaper doesn't seem to have many ads and I'm not sure how much coverage they get anyway.
Any suggestions?
Thanks ... will do that right now.Tater'sPa said:I would post this message in the freedom and self reliance section of this board as well, there is a lot of knowledgable folks in there that will glady help ya out too.

I suggest you speak to a well respected auction company in the area. They may have an up coming auction to which they could add it. If the sale is well advertised and there are other guns listed it should bring close to its top value, but you will have the auction fees to pay. Consider the auction fees as a little safety cost for not having to deal with some folk that might not be above board. Most are of course.
I'm not much of a "long gun" person, I'm simply not as comfortable with them as with a handgun.handy said:Why would you ever get rid of a rifle? So you aren't going to hunt, doesn't mean you won't need that particular tool ever again. It's paid for and with some minimal care will last you indefinitely. You never know when that rifle will be needed and wouldn't it be terrible if you did need it and could only wish you had it back? Just my 2 cents. Handy
You obviously haven't checked gun prices lately. And even mentioning collector value is ridiculous. It's a modern, bolt action hunting rifle.Unregistered said:you are not likely to get more than 200-250 for rifle and scope even going to a show.
