500 or 550, but no more, and that's only if you have some .223 stockpiled already. That stuff is hard to find right now, and the price has gone up. If you buy it, you gotta feed it. Just something to think about.

If you can roll your own, then 550 would be a good buy.

If you are looking for brass, find out where your local LEO's go to shoot. They drop plenty of new brass shooting that qualifying course with the AR. Most dept.'s favor public rifle ranges like a wildlife management area. Call the rangemaster on site, sometimes police shoot on days the range is closed to the public. Bring a couple of buckets.

Well, I can tell you that if he brought it toagun shop theywould offer him about$490andit would sell retail usedfor about $700 (based on2009 distributor wholesale). Assuming it is in excelent condition.

Current NEW IN BOXretail would be about $880.

With this said I believe that a decent private party price would be about $600.

I hope this helps in your decision.

I have the same rifle in 243 and its a great shooting gun sub inch groups with the cheap stuff awsome when you feed it homemade stuff. Mine was in in perfect shape other than it had a box of shells thru it. It had a nikon monarch 4x12x40ao bdc on it and I only give $625 at a gun shop.Keep in mind it will need a trigger job.Dont pay to much $500 sounds fair

The LEO (PD. county and HP) all use the same range I shoot at.
I pick up brass everytime I go there whether I shoot the caliper or not.
I hate to see the good stuff get stepped on or go to crap in the weather.
I have several reloading friends that we trade brass because we don't all shoot the same calibers.

I'd offer $500-550 no more. Myself personally I wouldn't buy a Remington, too many bad experiences with quality control and customer service. For the same money buying new you can get a CZ, Browning, Ruger or such. In my opinion Savage would be the choice for a strictly varmint rifle.

I think 500 is the max it has been shot that means used Period.I would say you could get a new one for 675 or darn close.

I know I got a good deal, but I just purchased the exact gun from a friend of a friend for $450 with a sightron SI 3x9 scope. I would have given $525-$550 if he had asked. It is a great shooting guneven thoughmine has a 5.5 lb factory trigger pull. I mounted a 4x12X40 I had in my gun cabinet. It averages around 0.6" groups at 100 yds. Can only imagine what it would do with an 6x18 scope and a 2.5 lb trigger.
