Since you asked, I'll tell you what I think. What you have is a new hot cartridge with a short barrel life. Guys who are willing to buy a rifle that they will be putting a barrel on quickly don't care a bit for that stock and would replace it immediately. Guys who are into beautiful wood don't buy guns with 800rd barrel life. In other words, it's value is basically as a barreled action, so it's probably worth quite a bit less to the guys who will be throwing the stock in a corner and immediately buying a fiberglass stock. I hope this helps. You asked.

Sure does help. Thanks.

This is why we all have our own opinions. The stock is what draws me to this rifle. Barrel life means nothing to me when I look at a rifle. Barrels are easily replaced but a nicely figured wood stock rifle is getting harder to find. I definitely wouldn't be "throwing this stock in the corner".
I just keep telling myself I don't need this one.

You are of course correct, everyone is different..

But answer this question for me.....

If he was selling the barreled action by itself for say.... $1,200 and the stock by itself for...... mm $400, would they still be for sale? I say not.

But if he dropped the price of the gun as it sits to $1,600, would you buy it?

For $1,600 you can get an accumark, which is that barreled action exactly in a B&C stock. But together, you have to find someone who wants both. They are out there I'm sure, But more difficult to find. I could be wrong of course, that's just how it hits me..

I would be a very serious buyer in the dies and brass if they were willing to separate, if that would help!

 

[Goose71]

He doesn't want to separate the package.

 

[JWhitty]

Well my offer is still good if he changes his mind....

Thanks

Fellas I need to apologize. He gave me asking price. I got outta work early and drove an hour to get price on this gun. learned he's way high. I don't want a bad reputation for this. Will not help buddy's here anymore.

I don't believe anybody is going to hold anything against you here. I'm also not sure the price is that high, it's just a unique rifle. I'm sure Weatherby wanted well over $2k for that rifle new..

A big part of this not selling are the stock pics. They make the stock look old, faded, and abused.

its not too high but if your buddy want's 1600 i'll promise to place in the corner of the safe and wait a few years - you never know!

I get the unappreciated recoil, i've talked 3 people out of purchasing my accumark i'm selling because it's not for the faint of heart. You should shoot my ultralight! LOL - anyway you need to reach a bigger audience like Gunrboker or Guns International if your selling something like this. a good/decent wood stock weatherby mark v someone wants to sell mid teens i'll buy them all and have them sold before the guns get in my possession. This being a hot cal with small following your gonna have to dangle the carrot long enough someone will bite in the right location. JMO - i collect these things older ones though no one like shooting the 6.5-300's i own so why buy a third! but she's pretty and seems like these things were selling for mid to upper 2's if i'm not mistaken.

jwhitty i have 127grain lrx loaded ammo if your interested
