I have 2 rifles in 22 long and wish to get rid of one so I reached out to a friend an asked if he wanted one of them for $125 w/ scope and he said yes. My plan was to sell the Ruger 10/22 stainless synthetic w/ a $50 simmons scope b/c the gun doesn't feel as good in my hands and the stock is shorter than the other gun but when i looked up the value and ratings, the ruger seems superior. My gun can be purchased for $250 new, I think?? Withe the scope, it is a $300 pkg so $125 is probably too light for this gun.

The other gun is a Remington 597. At BPS is sells for $190 plus a $50 scope, so a $240 pkg. However, the reviews don't seem nearly as good vs. the Ruger but $125 is probably a fair number on this gun. Both are in nice shape, 8's in both cases though the scope on the remington is clearer and nicer, plus, as i said, i like the feel better on the Rem.

Anyway, odd question but i'm wrestling with it now that I see the value and ratings of the ruger. Any input is appreciated.

One option might be to raise the price to $175 for the ruger though of the 2, it still seems superior in quality but at 6'3'', it feels like a kids gun to me
