they aint worth much. I'll give you 100 $ for it cash on the barrel head. Seriously tho,have you tried a Sims pad for it? It sure tamed down my 280 that kicked like a mule.

 That would be a little more than I'd need too. You can check gunbroker & see listed & selling prices. I'd think you'd be in the $500-550 or so ballpark anyway. You can tame it with more modest reloads, but then why not just carry a 308 or 243? I hardly ever shoot my A-Bolt 300WSM, though I don't plan to sell it either.

REALLY! 100 dollars will u payy the shipping too lol iwas thinking about the same i figure ask 550 take 500 also. Gunbroker people ask an arm and a leg and i dont see many bids. Ive been wanting a 25-06 to try out and i dont think grizzly bear are gonna invade tennessee anytime soon so its prolly gonna find a new home.

I traded a Abolt 325 WSM for a Marlin 1894 .357.  The dealer had to call a buddy to verify the dealer but he did make the deal.  The .325 was more gun than I need and the .357 was one I wanted.  Didn't care if he was into me for $100 or so, I was happy.  I'd say that a used one would be worth about $425-$500 just depending on the deal and the person.

wellllllllllll,,,,,,,you drive a hard bargain. But I'll pony up the shipping too if thats what it takes for you to part with it. LOL! Bud I'd throttle that 300 back a touch say down to 06 velocity and keep on hunting. Then when that once in a life time Elk hunt that you win from whichever one of them big buck buster clubs  takes your money and gives you a 10 $ knife giveaways comes along you can just step on the gas a little more and have at it. Good luck !! If'n times get realllllyyy tuff I'll pony up the shippin. Dont forget me now. LOL

Sounds like you need to get on the classifieds with a trade. Elk gun for Deer gun Why go to all the extra trouble involving cash?
