Price check BSA .222

If the friend thinks $450 is a good price then go for it. I certainly wouldn’t pay that much. The scope is worth nothing, and that rifle has seen better days.
 
Not very often you find a 222 with a full stock. Uncommon or not, if the bore is pitted or damaged so that the gun is not accurate will put the whole package on a gunsmith's bench for a few hours turning a new barrel to the correct contour for the stock and refitting the sights. If the bore was good, I wouldn't balk at paying $450... the light cosmetic damage is not difficult to repair... it's just paint gone off the aluminum and some blue rubbed off the steel floorplate with some pitting. Looks like some of the chrome plating has chipped off the bolt knob... light wood scratches are normal on guns that are used. I like how that rifle looks and that someone bothered to make such a gun in 222... most full stocks are big game calibers.

That scope (don't even recognize what it is) is ghastly on that particular rifle but that's also easy to change. (It needs something like a Leupold VX2 ~ 2-8x(less than 40mm ) in gloss finish and mounted in lower rings)

Why don't you post the photos on here so we all can see them?
Imgur won't allow your photo link to open up over this side of the 'puter land.
 
That seems fair although I wouldn't pay that for the cf2. Even the rings for that majestic/monarch action are hard to find.
 
This one is mine, it was $500 and pretty much as it left the factory for condition.

Same as OP..222..also have a 6.5x55 and a 30'06.
6.5 below, it's a little earlier vintage with the roll over cheek piece.

222 Rem on a full size action not the most desirable firearm. 450-650

I dunno, I got a thing for obscure stuff like that....also have a 1975 Win M70 in 222 from when they only made one action length. Both the BSA and the Win shoot very well.
