M96 worth?

Sporter in good shape with a factory proofed barrel; 400-450; 550 would be for an exceptional example in 30-06; with a factory built sporter stock in walnut and good quality sights.

One in Military configuration, $600-$1200 depending on matching parts, quality of stock and "newness of condition"
 
Well - This is a classic case of trying to recoup on upgrades to a milsurp based sporter. Bare rifle - 300$, new trigger - 100$, scope and rings - 250$. Unfortunately, these things rarely work out. OP could keep the scope for another rifle, and probably do a more palatable deal for both parties.
 
I appreciate the feedback from everyone! Even when they aren't exactly what I wish I would of gotten. Hey, I came here for opinions and that's what I got! hehe

I had originally paid 450$ (+tx and shipping) just for the rifle back in 2009. It was already sporterized when I bought it. Hard to swallow pill that just for the rifle, it has lost that much value. All the extras I bought for myself, knowing full well I'd never recoup that money, but appreciating the after market trigger, the new recoil pad, etc.

I'll send the link to this thread to my friend and we'll talk.

Appreciate it everyone!

David
