What's it worth?

[shootbrownelk]

Howdy guys, I found a Remington model 700 BDL in 300H&H magnum. It seems to be in great overall condition, and fired very little. It has Leupold bases. The old guy (older than me!) that has it wants $550 for it, could get it for $500.
I really don't need it, what do you think? Good deal, or not so much??

It is hard to tell as there are many, many models and variations. IMHO the .300 H & H should bring a premium as they made fewer of them than most other calibers.

Looks like it probably is Classic LTD edition as it is the only one I could find in my Blue Book that offered H & H. It adds a 25% premium for .300 H & H. Depending on condition, should be worth more than he wants for it, probably at least 600+. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!!!

I saw a closed auction for one that went for $675. Other than that, new 700 BDL models were from $800 -$1000. None where 300 H&H though.

If you like it, and its available, buy it up!

If money wasn't an issue, you can never have too many guns, especially when you get a good deal on them. Buy it up...

Sounds like condition and caliber make this a great buy.

It sounds like a good deal. I would look on gun broker and guns america for some comparable guns to get an idea of what its worth.

Probably won't find one in .300 H & H.

Probably won't find one in .300 H & H.

Maybe not but he can still get an idea of what 700's in similar condition are worth

It's too late, went back to buy it....and it's GONE. Ya snooze Ya lose!

Must have been a good deal to sell that fast.

I would be pretty sure it was a classic. Street price on a classic in 95% shape around here is $700 +\- a touch.

$500 was a steal!

I'd buy it. I've always had a soft spot of the .300 H&H Mag. I don't need a .300 H&H. But I'd want one on a 700 action.
