The value is what ever somebody is willing to pay for gun.

Used been shot- $500 is what I would pay.

My two cents.

500-550 my .02cent

 

I paid $450 for my 1950 39A about 3 or 4 years ago. I saw a 1959 at Cabela's a for $350 and almost broke my hand reaching for the wallet. $500-600 for an excellent condition shooter is what I expect to see these days.

 

Ah OK. It's marked $500 - sounds about average. I'll sit on it for a while and put the LGS owner on notice I'll grab it at $400. I'm in there several times a week. I've gotten a few things by telling him to let me know when he was sick of looking at it.

Thanks for the input!

 

I can't imagine it ever dropping to $400. One of the coolest .22 rifles out there and they don't make them anymore, thanks to Remington.

 

I bought one a few years back for $565 on Gun Broker so I had shipping and FFL charges too. My dad has one from 1952 and it was the gun I learned to shoot with. He's giving it to my older brother so I went looking for my own. I specifically wanted one from 1952 and after almost a year I found one that was probably 95%-98%. Being that nice and from 1952, I was willing to pay more.

 

If it were any other time, I'd probably drop the $500 and call it a day. My gun and ammo budget is a little stretched, though, for probably obvious reasons. And the not so obvious reason that I tripped over a pristine 336 in the middle of everything else.

The LGS usually doesn't get much wood and blue traffic - lots of handguns and semis. So it might even make it to November before dropping. I've gotten a Teddy Roosevelt Commemorative Winchester 94 that dropped from $700 to $500, and a mint/as new with packing material old style Papoose that dropped from $299 to something like $129.

The year is not significant, and I already have a sweet '64 model, so I'll just hold out. If I don't get it, best wishes to whoever does. But I'll keep my fingers crossed. Well mostly they're already crossed that I'll have more disposable gun budget in a couple months.
