[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1626937, member: 109229"] This is a tough one. I've sold a few rifles over the years and to be honest, even with anywhere between 10 to 20% consignment fees, I've just had the best luck consigning them at a reputable dealer. I've found that it's just a hassle to do private sales and going the forum route (not this one) had gotten me nothing but straw-man purchase attempts. In your case, I think I'd sell the scope seperate from the rifle. Also, seasonal factors play a role. In my neck of the woods, alot more guys are looking for rifles in September and October than they are in May or June. Last fall, I tried to consign a "cherry" Cooper Jackson Game .25-06 (AAA Claro) that I had about 3,200 into, and it didn't move for months at 2,200. It will remain in my safe and I'm sure I'll re-purpose it in a few years. Sometimes it's best to just hang on to it for a while if you can't get what you want. In a few years, you might be glad you kept that Remington around. [/QUOTE]
