Price check isle 5: Rem700 SA barreled action

[Mn_Shooter]

Did a bit of searching and found a ton dealing with the aftermarket, but not much about stockers...

I have a Rem700 barreled action (.243 heavy out of a VLS) I was going to build as a prairie poodle gun for the now EX girlfriend. I have two other SA's and don't really have the need for a third. Broke in nice and easy, with only 18 shots in the field. Seems she didn't enjoy the "pink mist" as much as she lead me to believe... Weird, eh? Stock everything, nothing altered or modified.

Would asking about $500 be out of line? Too high? Too low? What are your thoughts?

(NOTE: Be advised, this is NOT a for sale thread. I have yet to decide if I should keep it, build it, use it as a door stop or putter.... If I decide to sell it, you'll see it offered here in the PX first. Thanks.)

If it was to show in the PX for 400 I would take it..
I am looking for a short action to mate with my .260 barrel.

That's funny, I wasn't going to get involved in price, but was considering the same thing to start a .260 build. Jarheads and our scrounging ability.

Aren't new VLS's around $850?

$4-450 sounds like a decent price for a used barreled receiver

I can get a NIB basic 700 (ADL in a multitude of calibers) for $380 (less than that with my discount).

hey man we all love our 260 rem builds. but already got one , its a great round, feeds reliably, loves to shoot whatever you feed it, can neck down or up brass for it, and pretty dang good barrel life.
