That's not bad at all.
However, it's a pawn shop, they've probably got $600 into it.
Talk em down to $900 and it's a steal!

Re: pawn shop .308
I agree - talk them down a bit if you can. However, even at the asking price, that's still a pretty good deal, IMO.
Good luck! Post pics if you get it.

Re: pawn shop .308
Yep make them an offer, you can definitely get them down $100-200. Even at $1100 its a decent deal though. $1000 rifle with a $150 base, $100 bolt knob job, and $75ish trigger.

I wish the pawn shops by me had cool items like that!!! I just bought a new 5R and it came out to 1100 with tax, so that deal sounds awesome.

Re: pawn shop .308
Of course get 'em to knock down the price, give you ammo, a case, and a cleaning kit as the poor fool who sold it probably never bothered to clean it properly.

I picked up a savage model 10 fcp at a pawn shop for $300 once just outside of my base in ks . The guy had no clue what it was worth.

Re: pawn shop .308
I found an old 40x at, of all places, Gander Mountain! It was chambered in 30-06 and was in a McMillan Smear Stock. I went back and forth about it for a few months. One day I walked in and it was marked down to $600!!! Of course I snatched it up. They told me they thought it had been re-barreled since it was a Short Action chambered in 30-06. You would think they would do a little research before making that assumption. It was all original except for the McMillan Smear Stock which was a bonus to me. Only down side was it was a single-shot, but that was to be expected given the caliber. I eventually sold it for a hefty profit but it was one hell of a shooter!
That deal sounds solid. Post pics if you get it!

Re: pawn shop .308
Stop! My NEW 5R was $1058, here in De. No brake, but, just sayin..308 Now, I don't know what the "upgrades" are worth, but I also don't know the round count. Hmmmmmmm. I like "virgins".

Re: pawn shop .308
I'm always skeptical of pawn shops...I'm a cop afterall. My suggestion is to have one of your cop friends run it through their crime information unit, or related unit. Just to make sure its not stolen. I know pawn shops are suppose to check items before they put it out, but I know for a fact that doesn't always happen. If you don't know a cop, just ask one they would be more than happy to help. Good luck and if its a clean deal, that's a steal.

At least buying it from a Pawn Shop will give him more recourse than just buying from a private party.

Re: pawn shop .308
We have a local pawnshop that got shut down for buying and selling stolen firearms and goods. They kept records of their stolen stuff separate from the other stuff. So yeah it happens.
