I read three issues here.....and the biggest one is solely up to you!!

1. Market Value of the gun.....I'll accept the $425 number although it seems high I suspect it reflects some collectors value.

2. Does it fit my needs ?.....In my case...No!. I can buy much more suitable guns for less money.....(used)...I bought a used Remington 700 in .270 the other day for under $300.

3. Does the fact that it's "Grandpa's" gun have a bearing on this decision?...install your own answer.

You told us nothing about the condition. Does it look like a new gun? That's what the Gun Traders Guide price reflects. Or is it like many old guns in that the finish is worn the wood nicked, etc. If it's like many old guns that "grandpa" used to hunt with, the finish is probably worn and the wood nicked, scratch, and maybe cracked. Those things will cause the value to plumment.
