How is everyone today. I have a BSA Model 12 Canadian Cadet Trainer 22 cal Martini Action . The rifle over all is in nice working order wood is in good shape it has Tang sights that has adjustments for wind age and elevation and a round aperture adjustment on tang sight ..The bluing is also very good. Gun shoots very tight groupings. I was thinking about selling this rifle and was wondering if someone would have a idea as to what it may be worth any help would be great Thanks!! PS it is vintage 1920/1930

I can't believe how much they've gone up. 4-5 years ago I was collecting them and $350-$450 was common. Maybe $500 for a nice model 12/15. I bought an international ISU around that same time for $725, now I'm seeing model 8's and model 12's posted for sale at that price, and internationals asking well over a grand.
They're nice guns, don't get me wrong, but I think the prices people are asking these days are way out of line with What they should be worth. But people must be willing to pay I guess... I find it a shame though as it used to be one of the best rifles for entry level target shooters who wanted a decent target rifle without spending an arm and a leg. The price they're at now, you may as well pony up an extra couple hundred bucks and get a used Anschutz.
