.340 Mark V value questions

Heavy shooter · 10-28-2009, 10:03 PM

I've got a friend that owes me some money and wants to trade off a 1970's vintage Mark V in .340 Weatherby Mag. He is afraid of the gun and can't shoot it worth a damn anyway. Ball park on value? It's in about 95% condition and is high(ish) grade. He owes me $1300 and wants me to take the gun instead. I was thinking more like a grand? I want to be a little more than he would get at a gun store, But less than retail as I'm doing him a favor and don't need another rifle, especially in .340 Weatherby. I've already got a .300,.338 and .375H&H.

80% is 650.00, 90 % shape is 775.00 . 95% is 1,050.00 , 98% is 1,375.00.
Trouble is Nobody seems to want Weatherby calibers now due to the Cost
of Ammo...

Weatherby ammo costs are just beyond belief!!!!!!!

Discounting for the ammo cost factor I, personally, would not offer over
$500.00 for the gun. I know that might stagger each of you.
