Thinking of selling my Valmet 412 (2 3/4")12 ga/.222. It is in very good condition...Does anyone know the approx. value of this gun? I bought it used 4-5 years ago for $1500.

Thanks

bought my 12/223 in 1983 for 450bucks, put on a scope, new stock, a choke sleave, and painted it, 1500.00 wouldn't touch it.

A new one made in Italy by marocchi arms is about $2500. Only one place imports them that is networkretailing llc / double gun canby OR . Bought a 12/12 30" barrel mod/full choke 4 years ago for $600 at cabelas.

Thanks for the replies. Mine is in very good condition. I am shooting Federal Supreme copper coated 6's and have a great pattern at about 30-35 yds, that is as far as I have shot it for turkey season. I can use the rifle barrel at any greater distance.
Thanks

Also have a 12/223 valmet 412 with a leupold 2-7 that shoots the federal 2 oz #6 shot the best.both of my valmet 412 or 3" magnum. My uncle has a 412 12/222 that was 2 3/4 a d had it bored out to 3".

yep I tried to buy that one but we didn't see eye to eye at the time, now since I plow her driveway in the winter I'm golden, I offererd a mint for it, not because it shot well, but because of who it belonged to. treasure it, it belonged to one helluva guy, and he killed a bunch of turkeys with it.

Ridgerunner, You seem to be really knowledgeable with these guns.. That said, what do you think is a good price to ask for the gun. It will be the bare gun. You may pm me if you prefer. Where do you live in WV? I am originally from Jefferson Co. but moved to Hardy Co. (Wardensville) in 05.

way close to you, also in hardy county, live in mathias went to school in wardensville, PM incoming

Yes I know payed way to much for it but because who it was its worth it. Dad killed a good many turkeys with it also. Will be passed to my nephew.

according to someone in the know, you bought it for just over 1/2 what I offered, like I said treasure it.
