Asking for a buddy as he wanted me to try and find out. I checked out Gunbroker.com and it seems prices are all over the board. Anyway it's a Howa Model 1500 7mm Rem Mag. That's what it says on it. I've never heard of this brand however it looks fairly nice. It says made in Japan and imported by Interarms Alexandria, VA.

It has a Vanguard 3x9x50 scope on it model number VRS-531E. This scope had a big made in China sticker on it and looked cheap to me but I don't know much about it.

Any ideas on what this thing is worth? I'd say condition is 80-90%. It has a few knicks and scratches and one decent sized knick but honestly for a used gun it looks to be in good shape.

The guy is thinking of trading a semi auto 10 gauge shotgun I think Ithica he thinks is worth $700 or so. Is this a good deal? Any ideas on what this gun or scope or both is worth?
