Don’t want to insult you but best guess certainly no more than £700

 

[Rasputin]

For what it’s worth I sold my howa six years ago in .270 for £500 I think with mounts and mod. Similar round count.

If over here in your money 300 pounds.

 

[Keith Edmunds]

It's worth more than you will get for it - like all Howa's - totally undervalued for what they do.

 

[Cyres]

If you break it down then Delta £450, moddy £150. GRS £250 and whatever you can get for the barrel and action.

You can get a new package deal for about 1600£ so maybee 7-800£ for a used rifle package with specification you dont have choosen yourself.

To be brutally honest it’s not a fashionable but perfectly workable rifle, it’s worth what someone is willing to pay

Mantve,
Whatever price you decide - it will be better financially for you to sell the scope separately to the rifle.

The majority of potential buyers of the rifle won’t see the scope adding anywhere near as much value to the rifle as the scope can realise on its own.

Factor in timescale too. I sold a parker hale.270 on here within 6 hours because it was realistically priced, sold auction prices are good for a ballpark guide

Not only was it a Parker-Hale , but it was a .270
Those facts alone, surely, are enough to guarantee a quick sale, regardless of price!

How does the rifle shoot? Cold hammer forged barrel, a very reliable action with a 'proper' recoil lug - so much rifle for so little money.

 

[25 Sharps]

Without any optics you’re looking £450-550.00. For rifle and mod with rail.

The extras don’t really add anything to the value really, better to sell the reloading stuff separately.

Agreed but the name doesn’t start with a B and doesn’t have a K at the end of the price therefore must be crap

I would have it over a blaser in a heartbeat

60% of new price as a general guide

 

[Heym SR20]

2nd hand rifles are:

At least 40% less than new price. Take retail price, knock 20% off for VAT and another 10 to
10, 20 or 30% for being not new.

As they get a bit older rifles are £500 plus or minus a few hundred quid depending on what they are. Cartridge makes a big difference.

And rifles are always far far more valuable in the eye of the seller than in the eye of the buyer. Especially if its a custom rifle.

If it’s a 2nd hand rifle, factor in cost of a rebarrel. You probably won’t need one, but you might. 2nd hand rifles are on the market because

1) owner has given up shooting or has died

2) owner likes to change his rifles every year or two, because of a kit fetish or always wants the latest thing

3) owner is a tinkerer and wants the next project

4) the bloody thing doesn’t work so lets get rid of it to some pore sod.
