Re: Older Remington700 PSS value
Is it the wood stock with 24" tube or HS stock with 24". Majority of the C prefix receivers were from 85ish to 90-91. Thereabouts. If a wood stock probably a bit more than a synthetic just because I think there were fewer made? Always wanted one of the first 700P's but never seem to have da coin when one shows. I listed a 10X awhile back at $775 shipped and never sold it. I could have given it away for some cheezy offers but.....

"C" series receivers are still a "dime a dozen", just not literally...

In my opinion, as a donor action for a custom project, just find the cheapest one you can that is in good shape. It will have to be trued anyhow, but you might as well buy a custom action right from the get go and have it retain it's value more.
Collector, find one built in the 60's or prior.
As is, newer/new, unless the price is right...

Re: Older Remington700 PSS value
I have a 700PSS in 300 Winchester. If you offered me $500 I would laugh at you. One of the best shooting factory out of the box rifles I have ever seen. And guns are going up in price, not down. $600 or $700 on the rifle if mint and shot very little would be a fair price. IMO.
The scope is another thing. Pricng an older Leupold can be a bit difficult. And a straight 10X older Leupold is not a highly sought after scope. Maybe some guys here would buy it, but it would not sell very well anywhere else. I am not exactly sure what your 10X would bring. A few more guys will help you with that.
What cartrdige is the PSS you are looking at?? Tom.

Re: Older Remington700 PSS value

Re: Older Remington700 PSS value
Ok, it seems you're just looking for a shooter here... Although you still won't say and despite asking what is the value for one, you won't say what kind of "bargain" you think you're getting. What's it worth TO YOU, not to someone else. That's all that matters, isn't it?
For Pete's sake, just buy the thing if you think it's a good deal and quit trying to split hairs analyzing this to death.

The Leupold scope is a great scope. They get beat up a bunch on this forum. But IMO they are still a top of the line performer, with a fantastic warranty.
What I meant was that a straight 10X power scope is not a popular scope in general just because of the magnification of the scope.
Personally I like them. And alot of other people on this forum also like the straight 10X. But for the general shooting public the straight 10X is at the bottom of the popularity list. Tom.
