Value of rifle? T3X

I see a lot of "lightly used" rifles listed for sale for the same price as new ones with the idea being that the buyer saves the taxes (but maybe pays the shipping?). I don't know how quickly they sell... You know what you paid for it I'm assuming, but a new T3x Lite SS in 308 retails for $1190 at Cabelas, and I googled that scope (which is now discontinued?) at $800.
At $1600 you're 20% cheaper than brand new and buyer saves the tax. That sounds reasonable to me. List it and see!

Good advice, also selling a rifle with a scope is also a lot more trouble to pack.

I agree.
Then you can probably get a bit better dollar for each as opposed to selling them in a package deal.
Haha your looking at the ones with the prices that didn’t sell!!
I also always get a kick out of the prices when someone prices one high then you get a dozen people posting after figuring if the posters is worth that much they will cash in. Lol

Usually the ones looking for a rifle already have a scope and the ones looking for a scope already have a rifle.
Yeah, wish prices mostly by the looks of it...this one I paid something like 1099 for it and with tax comes to 1230.00 so even though its only got less than 20 rounds through it, less 20% for used comes to like 985.00 for the bare rifle.
bcsteve pretty much nailed it...think I'll shoot it a little more before dumping it or just give it to one of my Grandsons.
Every fall I see a wave of scoped .300 Win Mags with a few rounds through them up for sale as a package deal, usually with a "you save the tax!" line somewhere in the description - they rarely sell at that price. The ones that stick around are the ones that won't negotiate on price, usually.
You are almost always better off selling the scope separate (especially a Leupold as they retain value well) from the rifle, but include rings and bases with the rifle along with the "save on taxes" bit. If you include free shipping, that's probably a couple hundred in total value (retail taxes, rings/bases, and shipping) and you might sell quick in that case.

If it has sights and a single-set trigger it's worth a bit more. A nice wood stock also adds a premium. In its current configuration, you would probably get $850 tops.
