Browning .223 wssm BNIB.. Value?

I had it to the range today, I only fired 6 rnds through it and the action was slick as snot.
Very nice gun and the glossy scope was not bad, for a vx1 3-9.
And it's more of a hunting rifle , than a target rifle.

And I was exaggerating when I said 350 a day :)

But I did put 80 rnds through my .308 , last Wednesday , and another 80 today.
So 350 wouldn't take long.

While you will hear all sort of horror stories about the Winchester Short and Super Short Magnums not feeding I have owned 4 of them and they all fed cartridges from the magazine as slick as a fat kid slurping hot dogs at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Any rifle in 223 WSSM will be a hunting rifle not a target gun. Sitting at the bench killing paper would be more suited to the .222 or .223.

Shooting 350 rounds a day also is more suited to a .22 rimfire or SKS with surplus ammo than most centrefire cartridges. At over 2 dollars a pop 350 223 WSSM cartridges would cost as much as the rifle.

Not hard to shoot 350 rounds of centerfire in a day of shooting. If you reload it wouldn't be costing $2 or more a shot.
 
Had one 6-7 years ago. Bought new for $500 but must have sat on shelf 5 or 6 years before I bought it according to manufacturing date. Sold it for $600 a couple years later to fella from BC. Heard the stories of ammo availability but I still see it on shelves at my local shops. Usually covered in dust and selling pretty cheap just to get rid of it. Was an impulse buy and could never warm up to the a-bolt, prefer x-bolts with wood stocks. A lot of pressure built up in that baby, stiff to eject spent shells. Went to an x-bolt 243 after that and now have a 204 and like that calibre the best of the 3.
