I think it depends on where you plan on posting it. Here on LRH, everyone knows the cycle and the market (me, I would only consider buying a rifle between Dec-Mar to get it cheap). Similarly, I'd only buy a boat when the lakes are frozen or a snowmobile when I'm trying to get a tan (ha).
Put it on gunbroker in September and post a photo of it next to a trophy elk/whitetail/mulie and a photo of 1/2" groups and watch the idiots go nuts over it as they frantically try to figure out how they are going to kill that "once in a lifetime" bull that they booked a hunt for at last years sportsmanship show.
If you really want to get top dollar for it, find a local business owner that's making money hand over fist and has suddenly realized that he needs a hunting hobby. Take him to the range, give him 5 minutes of shooting advice, lay him down with your rifle and let him shoot a dime sized group at 100, and ring a 10" gong at 500...... name your price and giggle as you drive home. Hate yourself the rest of the season because you know **** well that he won't shoot it again until he wounds an elk at 926 yds because he printed a drop card and assumed he could pull it off
Sorry, I'm feeling a little feisty Friday..
