Should I sell my 700P??

srv656s · Sep 17, 2009

I got my dream rifle from GAP a few months ago and I'm thinking of unloading my 700P.

I can't think of any good reason to keep it since I have the GAP rifle also in .308. It's a great gun and great shooter but it's kind of redundant.

With suppressor:

Any reason to keep it? If not, what's a fair price?

I spent a good deal of money on it. GAP bedded it and put in a Jewell trigger. I had the barrel cut to 18" and threaded by Tornado Tech. It currently has a AAC blackout flash suppressor on it.

I've probably got about $1300-$1400 in the rifle and about 500-700 rounds through it...

I am the same way. I have a tough time having duplication when there are other areas uncovered. If it were mine, and didnt hold sentimental value...Gone.

I kept both when I received my first custom. I don't buy to turn around and sell.

Keep the 700P as a donor rifle for your next build. Yes, you will build again

Keep it and change stocks to another mcmillan or an AICS or a B&C....something other than HS PRECISION....then you will have 2 nice rifles that you can take turns shooting....BUying a nice stock is cheaper than buying another custom rifle. You already started changing it for the better, so keep on going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First my mother, then my wife, now you're on my case to get rid the 700P.

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

I'd keep it and rebarrel it in a 6.5 or 6mm caliber.

If you don't need the coin, keep it and invite a friend with you next time to the range.

Well if any of you ave any 700p's to get rid of let me know

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

I added everything up, I spent $1570 on the rifle. If I sold it for $1200, would that be a fair asking price? I realize not everyone will want all the upgrades I've got in it and it is used, so if I eat $370 it seems fair.

Rifle after tax: $800
Blackout Flash Suppressor: $100
Threading and barrel chop (Tornado Tech): $150
GAP Bedding job: $175
Jewell Trigger from GAP: $245
TPS 20 MOA mount: $100 (I could sell this separately)

Does $1200 sound reasonable? If so, I'll probably post it for sale...

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

That's a nice PSS! I would think it will go fast around $1200 with your upgrades.

My GAP tuned PSS is accurate as the devil and it will be one of the last to go, if ever - it even made me think twice about springing for my first custom, but once the bug bites ......

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

Dont sell it. You'll end up buying another action in 6 months for as much as youll get for that

eddief · Sep 19, 2009

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

Another vote here to keep. Make a great hunting rifle as is.

Go hide it for 6 months and you'll be glad.

sobrbiker883 · Sep 19, 2009

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

Keep it. Redundancy is a good thing sometime, and while GAP and Badger are great stuuf, shit happens to the best of them. A backup is a good idea (still miss my backup 308-not often, but when I do its bad).

Keith Johns · Sep 19, 2009

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

Load your GAP with heavy high BC bullets for LR or punching paper

And load your 700P with 155s for varmints

Just a thought

asbestosglove · Sep 19, 2009

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

I'm in the same boat...have a PSS with some upgrades. Want some cash but will probably keep it and re-barrel in 6BR for my son.

That's exactly what I'd do with it.

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

My first 308 was a 700P and I still have it. I would just keep it unless you really need the money

This is the answer. My spare PSS got rebarreled to 6mm Dasher. Same bolt face, pretty easy change. Almost shoot it more than the custom rig.

mtstcon · Sep 19, 2009

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

If it shoots, keep it unless you need the cash. The gun is your build and having multiple firearms in the same caliber is a good thing, or least that is what I tell my wife.

Re: Should I sell my 700P??

sell it to me for $5.
