Old Browning T-bolt rifle value

[Muskyhunter1]

I have my old Browning T-bolt 22 Belgian rifle I bought as a young lad that needs to go. I am left handed and being a right hand rifle it just doesn't work for me so I bought the new T-bolt in left hand before you they stop making them.

The old girl needs to go so I can recoup some of the cost of the new one. My Belgian is the standard model that is in good shape but it has hunted. The Bore is pristine and it is a tack driver. I have a spare mag (worth 60 alone) but no peep sight for it (used a scope). It does have some pitting underneath on the metal from the salt treated stock but I have tried to keep up on it for the last 36 years .

On-line they seems to go in value from 800 plus down. Do you thing a ball park vale of about 400 buck is a fair price or too much/too little? As i said just trying to recoup some money and I have no idea what they are worth. The new T-bolts are worth about 700 bucks.

Thanks,

$400 without the rear peep sight but including the extra mag is about right for a T-1. Some of them are rust buckets under the stock and some of them are just slightly pitted, I always put a heavy layer of grease on the metal under the stock.
I still have 3-4 new-old-stock rear peep sights, but, they have to twist my arm to buy them from me. The price on these things are close to 150$ or more.

I'd start at $500.

My wife came with one when she left her fathers home and its by FAR my favourite rimfire rifle. They are gems.

I sold mine for around $475, complete with peep and one mag.
you could ask $525 shipped

Since yours is missing the peep and it has the salted wood stock with pitting on the metal, I think $400 is about all you can expect. I sold a complete and mint "no-salt" Grade 1 a couple years ago for $550.

Thanks lads I really appreciate the feedback. They are a really nice rifle and it kills me to sell but she has to go to free up some cash.

Cheers.
