Question for you LONE EAGLE fans
« on: December 06, 2006, 03:08:17 PM »
Quick question about the value of a Lone Eagle package I found today.
It's a 7-08 with Leupold M8 (action about 90% and scope about 80% with a slightly scratched lense).  It also comes with the 22-250 action (90%) with a bushnell (don't remember the model, but it's in good shape).

What are these guns going for now?  I know it's impossible to find new/used actions for them, so with 2....??

Thanks in advance.

I have a Lone Eagle in 7mm BR that I bought 7 or 8 years ago. I paid $270 for the pistol, new. I haven't seen too many for sale but the ones I did see were $250 & $325 for a complete pistol. Haven't seen any actions for sale.

I'd like to get one in .22 Hornet but that doesn't look like it is going to happen.

I remember CDNN closing out Lone Eagles at $279 action and stock, complete.
7-08 would be a desireable caliber. I just picked one up in rough condition in 22-250. It seems some are willing to pay upwards $400 for a Lone Eagle in a deer sized caliber.

Thanks for the replies!
I saw a used 357 max a while back for $350, and would have bought it if it were in a different caliber.

The shop is asking $650 for the package.... I figure $350 for the 7-08 pistol, $200 for the 22-250 action, $200 for both scopes  ???  It also comes with some reloads for both (with the data in the box) and the original papers for everything including the scopes.

It's hard to figure out the value if you can't find actions for them anymore.

I guess I'll stop by tomorrow and see if I can talk him down to $600 out the door.

Hairtrigger....I see you have the exact collection I used to dream about as a boy (minus the TC Contender).  I don't know why I was so facinated with these "non-traditional" hunting pistols...but that's all I could ever think about.

I don't think you will get hurt at $600.
For whatever reason the TC never appealed to me.

Hairtrigger,  what make of wood stock do you have on that XP-100? Thanks.
No such thing as too dead.

I am not sure who made that stock. I have toyed with the idea of cutting off the rounded part from the rear to the bottom of the grip.
I do have an older Fajen stock that is not in the photo that fits my paws nicely, I removed the fajen when I had an old "plastic" stock Rhino lined then I painted it red and put it on my Fireball
