Remington 30:06 Value

[harbormaster]

Pictures hopefully coming soon.

I told a friend about this forum and he asked what his 1976 Remington 700 in 3006 might be worth; its never been fired, in original box, has manual and is some kind of 1976 commemorative rifle. I'll add more to this thread as I get more for him; starting my bing search now for it to see if he has anything others may want?

The one with lots of bids is a custom shop rifle which explains the high value.
The listing with no bids simply means the price was too high to attract a bidder and should not be used to determine a value.

In general, the commemorative guns don't really bring a premium over the same grade of gun in a non-commemorative edition.
So a 1976 new in box BDL is probably a $500 gun.

thanks

Thanks for that - I was only searching commemoratives so wasn't finding much.

Yeah, I'd say between $400 and $500, real-world. There are so many Remington 700's in .30-06 out there that the rifle's actually iconic. It's iconic for a good reason, 'cause it's a fine rifle that does pretty much everything well! If you could have only one rifle, that's one of the best choices out there to get. The downer is that there are so many of 'em (again, for really good reason), so given the supply and that a lot of us have 'em already...you get the idea.

I would put the price at $650 and above. I am a fan of the Remington 700. A 45 year old, unfired, commemorative rifle may go a lot higher than my estimate. If some one wants exactly what your friend has then they will pay more.
