I had a Remington 783 in 22-250 & loved it! However, I soon found the need for a more versatile caliber. So I tried to find a .270 in the EE section, & a funny thing happened...most sellers wanted almost new price for this thing.
There were plenty of LNIB & "save the taxes" claims, when I pointed out that the factory combo could be had, from 4 different retailers, at $429-$459.
Long-story-short...I had a NEW one shipped to my door, from a retailer, for under $500 including tax & shipping!
But that's not the reason for this post.

1. Canadian owners should register by phone, as the website only allows for US addresses.
*info added* I spoke to Remington to clarify that Canadian residents aren't required to register. I was told to register & was quickly registered over the phone. The person I spoke with had no idea why the website is set up that way or why Gravel Agency(CND Remington rep) told me not to register.
2. From 2016, Remington firearms carry a LIFETIME warranty to the ORIGINAL PURCHASER.

Conclusion (for me at least)...sometimes new is the way to go. In my case, I spent about $50 more than used & gained a new rifle with a LIFETIME factory warranty.

Just my 2 cents worth :cool::d

agreed too many rifles are on the EE for within $100 of new price "BNIB" and "only fired to break in" "less than 50 rounds" the last of which i can believe for a hunting rifle, where you shot 2 or 3 rounds a year depending on where you live maybe 10 or 20 but just about anything else.... these rifles don't retain their value like people seem to think they do. there is up to 25% mark-up... so your $1000 rifle is worth $750 the second you leave the store just like a car, if its new and its not collectable, you aren't ever going to sell it for as much as you pay for it -10%
 
pringles613... I'm glad I'm not alone on this
I guess there are buyers who compromise to save a few bucks. But I'd rather pay a tad more for a new gun. Especially if I'm gaining a warranty.
I happily buy used IF I'm saving enough.

I purchased a Remington 783 in .270 in the fall. I was hoping for the .308 but my local store had run out when I was there to buy. According to your logic, I don't have a lifetime warranty because it was purchased in 2016?

The Canadian Remington rep gave slightly incorrect info. It's not "after 2016" it's "starting in 2016".
I was also told that Canadian customers don't need to register. However, the US rep cautioned that was a bad idea. It took 2 minutes to register over the phone, calling the US line, not the Canadian line(Gravel Agency).
