I'm not telling, Sask
I picked up a late production, last year or 2nd last year Ruger M77 Heavy Barrel 22-250 very clean, with little to no wear I would put it at good to very good on the NRA scale. Bought it on a whim, with a Bausch and lomb 4200 6x24 also in very clean shape( but needs a turret cap for the elevation knob) . Just wondering what its actually worth to see if I did okay or not. Not even sure if I want it or not as it was kinda an impulse buy by me, but that seems to happen lots.... Lol. Pictures to follow, need to figure out an image host until my membership get renewed...

There was a guy on here a little while back with an early 80's heavy barrel M77 in 22-250. If memory serves he was asking in the $750-800 range, it was bumped for months and never sold. My guess would be somewhere in the $650-700 range would get it sold in a reasonable amount of time.

*I'm not counting anything for the scope because in my opinion they don't really increase the value of a gun unless you're selling the rifle to a guy who was planning on using that optic on it/ has another use for that optic.
 
I would value the gun at 600 and the scope at 350. But I'm not quite sure, the scope could be worth a bit more?
Nice find!
 
Aftermarket recoil pad installation looks well done.
What about bore condition? Throat erosion?
 
A varmint caliber rifle with a high power scope in an area where prairie dogs are found might have been shot a lot and yet look just fine externally.
Bore condition is certainly a factor in considering the value of a rifle like this one. A careful cleaning and examination with a borescope might be worthwhile, as would a careful range test, to see how well it groups.

I know I have some 22-250 brass somewhere, have to dig around, not sure if I have or got rid of my dies though. Your right though, sounds like a range trip is in order..
 
I'd shoot it before you decide to part with it. If a heavy barrel .22-250 appeals to you. Probably 1-14 twist so Winchester white box could be worth a consideration if you need to try factory.
Scope would bring more if sold separately than it would add value to the rifle.
 
Gonna take it out next week, have a busy week ahead of me. It's a beautiful rifle, gotta shoot it to see and give it a good clean and bore inspection, initial look over its in very good shape
