How fast do you want to move it?
$650 if you're not in a hurry
$475 if you want to get your $$ out of it
$325 if you're in a hurry ............ Or anything in between

Charge what you want....but if you ask more than somebody could buy it for on Guns America or Gunbroker.com you'll be waiting awhile

Keep the gun, and buy a crossbow when you have the money. Take my word for it, you have a sweet little gun there, and you'll regret selling it.

pharaoh2- as much as i like to look at the gun i never use it. it is to heavy for me to take it predator hunting and when i get time to go to the range i shoot the rifles that i will be useing while hunting.

and most of all i don't want to "save" or take out money out to buy this crossbow. so i am going to trade it in at a local gun store and i wanted to know how much i should expect them to give me for it. i figured i could prob. get 300-400 but no more sence they have to make a profit out of it when they sell it

well even though i don't like it, it is going to make one hell of a rifle for someone. do you think i would be better off selling it through the paper shop or should i trade it in?

Newspaper always works well for most people. It gets alot of exposure quickly. Gun shops tend to take a long time. And if you trade it in you'll not get a great price for it because the person taking the trade will want to make something on it too.
