Marlin 30-30 rifle and scope

[Tigger69]

Hi.
Not sure where to post this question.
My father has a Marlin 30/30 with a scope. Only have 4 bullets put through it and it is in excellent shape. No marks, scratches or dents. It is a lever action side eject. It was purchased brand new and is just over a year old. The scope is a Bushnell Sportview, which he paid $250 for brand new. He doesn't hunt anymore and is thinking about selling it.

Just wondering if someone could tell me what kind of price he might be able to get for the rifle and scope if he decides to sell it

$4.75

Your dad must not like you.

I give my son guns

That Scope is worth $60, I sure hope he didn’t pay $250 for that Scope, it is bottom of the barrel.
The gun might sell for $450 if someone likes it.
Gun/Scope/rings altogether, ask $500.

Yup, $450-500 is price range for Remlins with Bushnell scopes on here. They aren't much more than that new. Any chance he'd want to trade it?

The cheap scope won't add value, it retailed for $60 (not $250)... your pictures are blurry, but the wood looks very plain... if the metal is in excellent condition, the rifle should fetch around $450.

I think the rifle/scope/rings combo would fetch $600 in short order, on E.E.

Rifle is a model 30as and at least 24 yrs old as they were discontinued early 1990's. Marlin's economy version of their 336 with hardwood stocks and cheap sights. The scope was the bottom of the line for bushnell and adds no value. If he paid $250 , he got hosed . In top shape rifle and scope , maybe $450 but realistically maybe $400. Scope, maybe $40 itself.

Them see thru scope mounts are Worth an extra $5 bucks on the price!

No way...

No way...

$450 for the gun, and scrap the rest.

My .02 is list for 500.00 and see what happens. Roll the dice and go for 600.00 if you like. The EE is a wild and crazy place at times!

Was thinking the same thing. Looks like a 30AS which sold for $250 with a scope 30yrs ago.
