A friend of mine passed away last November, and his wife has been trying to sell his collection of various types of guns.
One gun in particular is a Sako TRG-22 in 308 win. There is a Valada-IOR Bucuresti 4-28x56 tactical scope mounted on the gun. There is also a set of dies. It was bought new about a year ago.
His wife is trying to determine the how to go about selling and determining a value. Any help and advice would be appreciated. I am not up on this type of rifle, so I too would be learning. Thanks.
 
$3000 for the rifle if its in new condition. $2000 for the optics and mounts. Just a guess.
 
3K is pretty high for the rifle IMO. TSE has them new for $3,200.00, and that is the phosphate highest priced one. Add 5%, and you are out the door. Of course, mounts/bipods, etc can add up, but I think 3 for the rifle new would be a hard sell.

Thanks for the reply, His wife told me they paid $6500 new, including a set of dies, 3 powder bushings, a rail for the easy mounting and removal of the scope, bi-pod, a sniper data book and two boxes of shells, and gst.
I think your pretty close with the estimate, appreciate it, thanks.

Thanks for the reply, there is a bi-pod mounted on it. Would the bi-pod have been come with the gun, or is that considered an add on? Appreciate the input.
 
The bipod can come supplied with the rifle if purchased as a package or separately.

If your's came in a package, it likely included: Rifle, muzzle brake, bipod, 2 or 3 magazines, rail and case.

The bipod alone is retailing for around $600 in Canada (far above what it should go for)...
 
pictures and more details of it would be great. If it's a Sako bipod $500 used is typical if it's not a Sako, probably only $125 for the bipod. books and such have probably got little value to them, unless new. If she gets $5000-$5500 for the whole thing she'll be doing well. Green ones are usually worth a few dollars more these days.

I was down at the store today. It looks like it has the Sako Bi-Pod. Just at a quick glance I think it also has a Sako 20 MOA rail with all the built in recoil lugs. I think the rail is close to 300 bucks on it's own.

New at P&D the Blued TRG 22 (non-phosphorus) is $2950, rail $300, bi-pod $600, scope is 2600 (usd) plus the rings and muzzle brake.

That puts it at right around $6500. The dude told me someone offered her $4500 and she turned it down, if that helps. Maybe she will take $4750

She turned that down too.
 
I wouldn't take less that $5500 for the whole works.
However, she may have an easier time breaking up the package considering the economic environment we are in.

You guys should hook her up with a membership somewhere, and get her shooting it. The rifle has high end parts as listed above, but selling the rifle as a package is always rough. Scopes, especially high end ones, are very user specific. Some want hubble, some want portable, etc. With this rifle, there is also a bit of a spread in quality of mounts available. I can't tell what is on this one without removing it, or seeing it in person, but it is something I'd want to know before paying a portion of the ~300 they cost new.

Unless she splits the rifle/scope, the above offers are about what I'd expect it to go for on the EE in today's climate.
