keep or sell?
As I said in an earlier post, My budy got laid off from his jib and is moving to n.c. He was short on funds and agreed to loan him some bucks with a remington .17 rem centerfire boltaction with a 300 buck scope as collateral the stock is wood with checkering.. I don't really expect the money back, just helping out a friend. I really don't care for boltactions, and thinking of trading it for an ar-15 in the 5.56 . My son has two ars and loves them. I think they are pretty neat for an ar. the rilfe was well taken of and short of getting appraised from dealer , anybody here have an idea what its worth.? I looked all over the net and the .17 rem centerfire is hard to find. It loads the ammo through the action and only holdsa few rds., I havent shot it yet!!!!!!!!!!!! what say ye?

Re: keep or sell?
17 rem is potent on smaller critters, rock chucks, groundhogs, prairie dogs, ground squirrels etc. can be used for coyotes/fox too. Little light for that IMO. THOSE 25 grain bullets are fast an flat BUT the barrels tend to foul, kinda tough to find cleaning rods, brushes...
Would I trade it off... Maybe not yet. Find some Ammo and play with it a bit. Ya never know you might get to liking it.i know my Rem 700 in 17 is a real shooter!

Re: keep or sell?
The deal was when he got settled, i would ask if he wants it back, If not , no hard feelings, then I would decide if i keep or trade. Yea, ammo kinda expensive , but, gonna shoot it a bit first. have 100 rds of ammo that came with it.. anybody here load for the .17 rem centerfire/

Re: keep or sell?
Use to load for it long ago. If you trade it off, take the scope off as most places won't pay more if it has a scope on it or not. Check out gunbroker, I think the 17rem 700bdl is worth a bit. If you want an AR15, you should be able to trade even, though the scope has been removed.
That ammo is worth a bit too.

Re: keep or sell?
ARs are as cheap now as they have ever been. I doubt I would trade anything of much value for one. Better to sell outright and buy an AR configured the way you want.

Re: keep or sell?
I bought and sold 3 handguns and 1 rifle I never shot, regret it to this day. You gotta at least shoot some paper and blow up some water filled bottles before you do get rid of it. Todd/3leg
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
