Winchester 300 Mag

[estims]

I have a Win 300 Mag that I thinking about selling, but I've never sold a gun. Where should I start to get the appraisal so I know I'm asking a fair price?

Nice looking rifle.
The people of this forum know what it will sell for.

Do you know how the law works for selling here? If not brush up on that first. Next thing I would do is look at the auctions for the same model or close. See what is being asked, see what they sell for. Then go from there. Once you see how the sale in this state goes you can decide if its worth trying to sell yourself or if you wish to just take it to a shop that will sell for a cut of the sale.

Yes look it up by maker of firearm and model number value and you should get a decent new and used price for it then you decide from there... as for the selling it depends on your state laws but oregon you meet the person. At a ffl and the transfer of the firearm takes places

Here in WA we told OR to "hold my beer and watch this", as we showed you all how to keep everyone safe by making it FAR harder

It's a Winchester Model 70, recoil pad looks like post-64 of some sort. Even as such, many potential buyers will want to know the serial number so as to date what regime made it.

If someone offers to buy it from you without an FFL involvement it's johnny law.. especially if they only have one post count.
O snap

Is that really a requirement or internet BS?

I think it is a Winchester Model 70 Westerner. It was a wood stocked push feed action with a blind magazine (no hinged floor plate). I had one for my first center fire rifle, mine was a .243 Win. It was their economy model in the late 70's early '80's.

Yes, good eye on the no floor plate. I had one of the Westerners in .243 also. Mine was made in 1985 or 86 during the time the employee-owned US Repeating Arms was running the plant. It was good enough, but as I recall the nose of the stock was not shaped symmetrically. I had to do a bit of work on it.

Doing some internet looking, New $650, used $475 per blue book.
Gunbroker only had one 300 wm sold with bids with a modified recoil pad for just over $400. Other cartridges sold for $400-600.

Do this prices seem right?

If you bought it new in 1980, then...

It's a great rifle, but I'm getting to an age where it hurts my shoulder when I shoot it.

I "think" the OP is saying he understands the law to sell in WA, and is showing the #s since others said they would need to know the first several to be able to tell him when it was made which greatly effects the value.

Alexx1401, you are correct. Thanks for the assist.
