An old man I know has offered to sell me his .30-06. He has said it is a Remington "Model 70", and I tried to correct him once and asked if it was a Winchester Model 70 or a Remington Model 700, but he insisted it is a Rem Model 70.

It would come with a Weaver scope. He's had it for over 10 years and killed over 40 deer with it (he gets to hunt from Feb to Oct on a farm...some crop law). There is nothing wrong with it. He's just too old to use it anymore, and wants someone to have it that will use it.

Assuming it's in good shape (I'm assuming this because he said as much and he seems like the kind of guy who takes pride in his rifle)...what would be a reasonable offer for the rifle?
