What would you expect to pay for this?

What would you expect to pay for this gun? Thanks.


3 year old CZ550 American in 270 Winchester with following attributes and accessories:

Factory rings

Tasco 6x-24x scope ($75 new and OK for sighting in and varmint shooting)

Versapod Bipod extendable to 24 inches.

Minor dents on stock where a bipod is mounted, not visible unless you look at underside of forearm. No hard hunts. About 300 rounds fired through it. Bluing perfect. Bore perfect and thoroughly cleaned of fouling.

RCBS dies. 100 cases of brass, about 100 rounds of loaded ammo.

Shoots 1.25" groups with 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips, 0.5" groups with Hornady V-Max bullets.  Have load recipes and sample targets.

Comes with factory box and manual.

Gun was bought as a backup rifle for a handgun antelope hunt. Was not used on that hunt. Only field shooting ever done with the rifle was at prairie dogs using 3,000fps loads-- no super high velocity or maximum loads have ever been fired in the rifle.  Gun has always been well cared for.

Reason for selling: I have no anticipated use for the rifle during the next ten years and don't want to keep it if I won't be using it.  Can't give it to my son because he's left-handed and I want to give him a left-handed rifle.

The scope adds nothing to the value of the gun. It's an elcheapo and totally wrong for a big game hunting rifle. Used RCBS dies generally go for about $15 plus shipping or $20 shipped. Ammo generally isn't worth the cost of shipping. Cases unless new or once fired aren't either.

As for the gun you'll do good to get 75% of new price for one. I have no clue what they cost tho.

You can buy them new for $487.99 from Whittakers so you will do well to get $350-400 for it considering the dings and what not.
