I have a pair in 250 and 300 Savage. I love them, the 250 is a tack driver with very little recoil. I load it with 100gr Gamekings for deer and 75gr varmit masters for Ground hogs. It has shot a one hole five round group from a Lead-Sled rest more than once. Even though i love these rifles. I wouldn't give much over 500 for one. You say this shop has several NIB 10-20 year old rifles? If they are having that hard a time unloading them, maybe you can haggle for a great deal.
