I found a remington 700 ss in 260 with a detachable mag black stock it has engraving on the receiver. Can anyone tell me what it maybe worth? It is is very good condition i can pick it up for around 500.00 with leupold mounts and rings.
It sounds like it could be a Commemorative Edition with a Stainless Steel Fluted Barrel, Engraved Receiver and Black Laminate Stock. If it is, it probably is worth alot more to a Commemorative Collector if it was unfired and you had the box and all of the tags. If it isn't a Commemorative, I would think that $500 is a little pricey for an oddball caliber that could tend to be expensive to shoot.
If it is in a gunshop, ask the owner how much a box of shells and reloading components would cost, and make your decision then. Your chances of selling it for a profit depends on finding the right buyer, as always. Finding a buyer for more than $500 could be hard.
Your best bet is to buy it for alot closer to $400, and only if you have a need for a .260, and want to use it.
