So got my IBI barrel installed on my RPR and was wondering what the value of the factory 6.5 Creedmoor barrel would be to sell, has roughly 300 rounds through it. I was thinking around 250.00?
 
You can list it at that price and see what happens... I haven't been able to get that much for a 'new' pull off 700 barrel in .280 Rem., 30-06, 7mm Rem. Mag.
 
Might be a pretty small market. A person with a .308 RPR might want to try 6.5. Don't know that the barrel could be fitted to anything other than a RPR.
You could list it, see what response there is.
 
There are some gunsmiths/shops who build on Remington 700 receivers and sell the brand new takeoff barrels for $100 to $135. So a used barrel for a less popular action would probably be worth less? Or maybe more if there are lots of RPR owners looking for 6.5 Creedmoor barrels but I have my doubts.
 
I usually figure 100 bucks for a relatively fresh 700 barrel. The trouble with take-off barrels is you can spend a lot to get your cheap barrel fitted up. This limits your market to mostly people who haven't figured that out yet, hobbiests that can do it themselves and those looking for a cheap repair.

That's why I own many Savages and zero Remingtons :). But I also have a lathe...I make my own Savage barrels from barrel blanks but it really doesn't save much over buying a pre-fit. Just for fun.
