My Ruger 10/22 Sniper

Chapman87 · 05-29-2009, 09:54 PM

Sniper? .22? Maybe.

Anyways, I took this thing to Gander MT to get it appraised and they appraised it at $300. Is this pretty accurate?

Adams and Bennet 18" Bull barrel
Polished Trigger assembly
Folding Bi-Pod
Leapers Mil-Dot scope (cheap)

I think thats it. Oh and it comes with an extra stock with sling mounts and a redhead sling.

Mooseman684 · 05-29-2009, 10:07 PM

I'd say 350...

Chapman87 · 05-29-2009, 10:11 PM

So it wasnt too far off. They offered to buy it out right for $210.

Mooseman684 · 05-29-2009, 10:13 PM

I'll bet they did....

Chapman87 · 05-29-2009, 10:14 PM

Would you suggest gunbroker? Or start trying to sell it here?

Mooseman684 · 05-29-2009, 10:17 PM

I wouldnt sell it personally...It may be the only thing anyone can afford to shoot in the future...It looks like a nice setup !

Chapman87 · 05-29-2009, 10:19 PM

I agree. But I am a first time/ new home buyer. This would just be some extra cash. I do have another .22 but its a single shot bolt action. I am not fond of selling my guns trust me. There are some that will never leave me till im gone.

oilfield_trash · 05-29-2009, 10:51 PM

I'd skip something to keep it. That's worth more than 210. I think you'll regret selling it in the end.

Chapman87 · 05-29-2009, 10:52 PM

I would eat ramen noodles before selling it. I would however sell it for a .17hmr bolt action rifle. Or maybe another .22 bolt action.

Might be interested. Looking for another .22. I'm also in Illinois. If close to each other, maybe we can meet? PM sent stating same...

Pretty gun. I just ordered a 10/22 to plink and play. Can't wait to get it.

SwedeSteve · 05-31-2009, 01:29 PM

There's a 10/22 at the local shop for $165. It's tempting !!

KW Gary M · 05-31-2009, 05:55 PM

I agree with everyone else who say "DON'T SELL IT" but if you must sell it try gunbroker or also Cheaper Than Dirt has a free on line auction. I had a 9MM Cobra Patriot that someone from there gave me $370 for. I put it on the auction page thinking I might get $250 since they are about $300 brand new. This one only had a couple hundred rounsds shot and was in mint condition but was still a Cobra. $370 plus they paid me $35 to ship it.

ZOBO · 06-01-2009, 12:27 AM

Try to keep it! Based on the info in your post it's about 325.00 unless you've got some trigger work and or other amenities like auto bolt release, bolt buffer, extended mag release etc. Then add at least 50.00.

I'd get it if'n I were you.

I've been looking for a cheap used one to turn into a Krinker Plinker but cheapest I've found used is $199

Considering what they are selling for in the lower 48 appears to be a good deal.

Kaybe · 06-16-2009, 11:47 PM

The way some people are acting, take it to a gun show and put $450 on it. You should sell it right away. If not, keep it. A friend of mine went to the Medina Ohio gun show and people were throwing money at guns left and right.

nathangdad · 06-17-2009, 08:43 AM

It is a very hard pill to swallow when a person learns all sorts of expensive add ons and custom work seldom translates into cost recovery when selling or trading in a gun.

Just remember the custom work you do is almost always just for your benefit and enjoyment.

tappedandtagged · 06-18-2009, 06:27 PM

If you do sell it, you won't be able to replace it for that price. Just something to think about. And if you're selling it to get another gun, 17hmr is the way to go. I love mine! 3/4 inch group at 100 yards off the bench. Clover leaf at 100 yards with a gun vise.
