DPMS 300 SAUM Whats it worth?

[lapua]

Hey guys I have a new in the box DPMS 300 SAUM and was wondering if some of you experts could tell me what a good price is for it. I paid 1600 for it and added the other goodies. The rifle has never been shot.
Thanks in advance.

Rifle includes:
Magpul PRS Stock
Timney Trigger
Ergo Grip
Tac Latch and single point sling mount

Well obviously it's worth $1600 to you and that's all that matters, isn't it? Now go reduce its value and have some fun taking a new rifle's virginity.

You have what is called a non-fungible item. Meaning that since even Remington has abandoned the SAUM concept, the demand for the rifle isn't what it would be if it was in a more commercially acceptable chambering, such as the 260. Now, don't get me wrong, I think the 300 SAUM is an excellent cartridge, and there are plenty of individuals who load their own ammunition that might make use of it. However, those same people may choose a round that may suite their specific needs a bit better.

So, they don't make it anymore, and they don't because the round/rifle combination just wasn't popular enough, given their somewhat limited production base.

I don't think it would qualify as a collector's item.

Actual value would be about the same as any other DPMS LR rifle. You'll just have a bit more difficulty moving it, due to reduced demand.

That said, it would be a great hunting/target rifle, and if you reload, I would suggest you follow Redmanss advice and go shoot the crap out of it.

Thanks for the input I have my eye on a new build and I wanted to get some feedback on this thing since they do not make them anymore. I have shot one before and its a great shooting rifle.

It's worth what you paid for it. Use it and enjoy it.

This. Fortunately, I got mine for quite a bit less than $1600. Since then, I have put a lot of ammo through it, and it continues to impress. If you don't reload, your options are pretty limited (and expensive), but these guns are a ton of fun if you reload.
