My friend's dad past away recently and left him behind some rifles and shotguns. I have a good idea of what some are worth but would like some second opinions. I'll try to include all the information I gathered from them in the short time I got to look at them. Some I don't know the model name for, so if you can tell by the pics let me know as well. Thanks in advance for the help!

Fist pic from top to bottom:
-Remington 700 with hinging floor plate in 7mm Rem Mag
-Remington 700 with hinging floor plate in 270 Win
-303 Enfield, hard to make out markings, no.1 mk.4???
-Remington 870 16ga
-Old 410, price not important

Second pic from top to bottom:
-Marlin 336RC 30-30
-Winchester Model 94 30-30 serial: 2263###
-Old 12ga, price not important

Last pic from top to bottom:
-Husqvarna in 22-250 (also says "nitro" on receiver, not sure if that is part of the caliber)
-Browning .22, bolt action that you just pull straight back and straight forward (not up then back)

I will just comment on the two 30-30s.
The Marlin, $400.
That is one of the nicest looking pre 64 Model 94 I have ever looked at. Only thing I can see wrong is the missing sunshade. Just saw one that looked just like it, only with the shade on the sight, at a gun show. Problem was someone had put a rubber butt plate on it, and I think, cut a bit off the stock to mount it. They still had $550. on it.
If I had this one at a gun show, I would have $595 on it.

The 94 is in very nice shape, the bluing is still super strong. I even managed to find that sight shade in box of parts, Its just not on in the pic. Thanks for the info, greatly appreciated!
 
The quality and make of the scopes would also play in to the price of the bolt rifles, a good gun smith could you give your real idea of value . Good Luck
 
The .303 is a No.4 converted to sporter and a good looking job of it too. The back sight is on the receiver, not on the barrel like a No.1. The stock is pretty and the short magazine is uncommon. The scope base is probably drilled into the receiver ring, so there is no obvious collector value. With a scope, as a hunting rifle, it would go for $350 to $500 depending on things I can't see and how desperate the buyer was.

Desperate and or dumb. :D

Enfield sporters price out at our local stores fro around $100 to $200.

$500 is Waaaay to much IMHO.
 
The Browning .22 that is at the bottom of the third pic is a Browning T-bolt. Not sure what the price for one of these is nowadays, but should be worth a bit. Tell your friend to make sure that he doesn't lose the mag (I think that's taped to the barrel) as they are expensive!

I think your giving this guy unrealistic expectations. Why don't you ask people that actually buy and sell and not just read the forums.

If you are referring to the 30-30s I gave estimates on, I don't think they are unrealistic.
I recently sold a similar, at first glance, 30-30 Marlin for $340. But, mine was pretty sad looking when I got it. Considerable rust on the barrel, that I got off with steel wool. I had to glue in a piece of wood to the rear stock, then sand and refinish the entire stock.
The rust had removed the finish on a spot about the size of a penny on the receiver. I ended up cold bluing that spot.
I didn't rip someone off through the mail, the fellow came to my house. I had mentioned on the phone the receiver re-do spot, so when he came I pointed it out to him. After thoroughly looking the rifle over, he bought it. He also bought a shot gun I had advertised.
Judging by that, the Marlin in the picture that looks like new, would easily be worth $400.
After I said I would put a price of $595 on the 94, I had second thoughts. If I had it in my hands and it was as good as it looks in the picture, I really don't think I would sell it for $595!
By the way, I sold seven guns at the just ended Salmon Arm gun show. My friend with a table next to mine sold at least ten. So I actually do know something about selling firearms and the prices they bring.
 
Your two Rem 700 are $450-525
Your Husqvarna $475-525

T bolt is 275-325 depending on the bluing condition.

Price is for rifles/rings/bases only......no idea what the scopes are so no comment
 
My 2 cents; take them for what they're worth. THe Husky is $450-525 depending on condition. The Rem 700 in Synthetic, looks like it should be in the $600 ball park. The Rem 700 BDL [the wood stock] would be worth a bit more. Maybe up to $700 if it's in excellent shape. The Enfield is probably in the $400 ballpark. Again, that is not including scopes. The worth of anything is what someone is willing to pay for it. If you were to put these rifles up for sale at the prices listed, you'd likely get them sold.

These quotes are so out to lunch, im not sure where to start. I think you should check the equipment exchange, and take everything there with a grain of salt. The enfield might go for 2-300, including the scope unless it is rare and collectible. The remingtons might go for a little less than the prices listed, but with the scopes. That is if the scopes are functioning. If the scopes are something of remarkable value that could change, but i doubt they are made by zeiss or swarovski! A remington 700, used, in good condition, is not worth 700. Maybe 500! Maybe 600 depending on the condition and the make of the scope. The t-bolts are being manufactured again with a rotary magazine, and that should sell for around 3-400 without much of a problem if it is in decent shape. It looks like maybe the blueing might be a little worn, so around 3 with the scope, maybe start at 4 on the ee. In good shape definetly 400 plus with a decent scope.
 
The 303 looks like a Parker Hale conversion - they were well done, and can command a slight premium over a regular sporter in 303. Unfortunately, the wood finish looks kinda pooched, so that is a negative. I'd say +/-200, without the scope.
 
Looking on the EE at recent Rem 700's, they are all asking more than $700. All except one BDL which the seller described as 'older and shows it'. He is asking $600 without the scope. I said your BDL could be up to $700 if it is in excellent condition. A new one will be about $1000 with no bases or rings.
At the shows I go to, if you're selling a Rem 700 in decent shape in the $500 ballpark, it will sell in about 15 minutes of the show opening, since it is a screaming hot deal.
There's 2 ways to sell something. Go for a low-ball price, and sell it super quick, or ask a reasonable and fair price, and wait for a reasonable and fair buyer. I've sold a few guns here and there. They may not sell in the first 15 mintes, but they do sell.
 
Based on prices at last weekends auction I'd say:

-Remington 700 with hinging floor plate in 7mm Rem Mag 600-700
-Remington 700 with hinging floor plate in 270 Win 500-600
-303 Enfield, hard to make out markings, no.1 mk.4??? 150-225
-Remington 870 16ga 150-200
-Old 410, price not important 125-175 (I'd be interested in that one if it's for sale)
-Marlin 336RC 30-30 350-450
-Winchester Model 94 30-30 serial: 2263### 375-475
-Old 12ga, price not important 50-75
-Husqvarna in 22-250 (also says "nitro" on receiver, not sure if that is part of the caliber) $300-375
-Browning .22, bolt action that you just pull straight back and straight forward (not up then back) 100-200

Just my opinion.

See these NEW ones in the EE, you're about $200 high.
Remington 700 BDL 30-06 Reg $1019.95 $799.95
Remington 700 BDL 7mm Rem Mag Reg $1019.95 $799.95

Given the advise on this thread I have a better understanding of the prices some people are asking on the EE - i.e. $100 lower than new or higher. The benefit is it makes it easy to decide to buy new.
 
In my opinion;
Remington 700 7mm $600 + or- depending on glass
Remington 700 .270 $550 + or - depending on glass
.303 Parker-Hale(looks like) $350
Remington 870 $275 max because it's a 16 gauge
.410 shotgun(looks like an Iver Johnson) $100
Marlin 336 $350
Winchester 94 $400 tops( it'll be for sale for a long time for $595)
12 gauge single(H&R Topper?) $100
Husqvarna $650(looks like a Redfield scope)
Browning T-bolt .22 $350
In my neck of the woods, these are fair prices.
In other areas they may be higher or lower.
