Spinafish : 100% for the youth model 7 is $390 + scope 60% down to $165 = scope the $400 figure could be the top $$ depending on condition.

I checked out the international exchange rate an that sounds like topdoller
for that rifle scope combo.If it is in real good condition I would do it.I know
some folks don,t think much of REMINGTON but I really like mine.The model 7 is a good rifle for a young guy.I would bed the action an float the barrel,Just my opinion of course..Cheers an good luck..Jack.

I'd pay $400 for the rifle and scope if I was in the market. It seems like a fair price. Dave

The scope alone is worth in the meighborhood of $150-200 which leaves the rifle priced between $200-250. The action would likely bring more than that... These are good little rifles and would serve the youngster well. When it is outgrown it could easily be restocked to a more appropriate length.. Remington's QC has really been in the pits the last few years and their service isn't the greatest either but the rifles work fine once the bugs are out...It's a very good price..unless there is pretty extreme damage..
