Am I asking too much?
 

I've been trying to sell a Tikka t3 stainless/syn 270WSM it has a Leupold Rifleman 4x12x40, leupold rings and bases, sling, 2 boxes of shells and, soft case for 600.00 is that to much? The rifle is like new very well taken care. I dont use it ever just an impulse buy.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

The price is right BUT the round it is chamberd for is not popular and prob wont be around long so your going to have trouble selling it.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

No your not asking to much. People are just having a tough time with money right now. Try posting it on www.predatormasters.com. I would love to have it, but if I bought another rifle right now, I'd be in trouble with the wife!

Edit- Did you post a pic with your add? If you are trying to do it FTF that can also slow down your sale. Good luck!

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

No your asking about right.
And Retaks the 270wsm will be around for a long time to come but Obama may kill it.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

A FTF sale will probably take longer but if you advertise on some hunting websites, I bet you could sale it pretty quick. IMO your price is reasonable. You could offer to sale with or without the scope. As to the post about the 270 WSM not being popular, last I read270 WSM sales were second only to the 300 WSM.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

Not trying to start a burn or war here but I have no interest in WSM cartridges.

Just providing some feedback.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

No, you are not asking too much. Especially with the scope that's on it!

As to whether the .270 WSM will be around long, for a handloader, that is of no consequence at all. If one suspects that a currently available round will soon be off the market, all one need do is buy a thousand empty, new cases right now! Otrherwise one might end up having to neck down the .300WSM or the 7mmWMS to get brass. Gee, that's hard!!

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

IMO it's a very good price and a very good round.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

I didnt know the 270 WSM was that popular. I knew the 300 WSM is though.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

Yeah the 270wsm sells like crazy around here for some reason. The 7mm wsm is the one thats not doing so well.


For the record thats a good price on that gun. LIke someone said..just tough times for a lot of folks right now.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

sounds like a good deal to me, but i think the economy has everyone holding onto what they got.

the 270wsm is an amazing round, very flat shooting, and fast with good knock down power, its going to be around for along time. People are buying those like hot cakes especially people who hunt in big open country.

3300fps + at 100yards is hard to beat.

The recession is a myth put forth by the liberal media to put a democrat in the whitehouse. My buddy just bought a new kimber and he just quit his job and guns are still flying off the shelf at gander mt near me. People will find money if they want somthing bad enough.

I would put the gun on Gunbroker .com, it should sell pretty quick at that price.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

Dosent sound like to bad a deal '
I didnt think the subject was regarding the cal. being a 270 WSM ,
I would consider it to be one of the best cal. on the market .
Thats why I just bought a Browning Shortrac in 270 wsm .
My other big game rifle is a Browning Classic A - Bolt in 300 wsm ..
Its the perfect time of year to sell it , I believe its because of the economy that things are a little tight right now ..

were in a depresson right now yes a depresson not a ression. No one is buying everyone is selling. I am going to buy a new handgun figure i might save some cash buying used. But try finding one mint for the right money.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

You watch to much news. The employment rate is still over 90% and we're still eating 3 meals a day this isn't a depression. My Grandpa lived during the depression and told me about it, Hot hash for breakfast cold hash for dinner and that was it. And we aren't killing rats with sligshots in the corncrib for a good dinner yet.

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

you wait and see where falling farther and faster from were we were then they did back then.
Though i think we need to fall alittle. Gas is down and still dropping prices are down heck i am in alot better shape now then i was amonth ago. I filled my truck up thinking gas was going back over 4 bucks agallon. I paid 3.79 a gallon less then a month ago. Gas has dropped 1 dollar a gallon here to 2.75 so i am out 34 dollar on that tank but that ok when i fill up next week i will be up 1 dollar a gallon. When the banks close the dow dropped below say 7000 thats when the jobs will go away then the gas then the food then all i got to say is MAD MAX

RE: Am I asking too much?
 

We are not in a depression. We are knocking on the door though. If the market continues to fall then we will be.
