I understand, but even Chevrolet makes a bad one occasionally. Did anyone check the ammo to be sure it was OK? It is possible that only that ctg. was bad. There seems that if there was a problem that more people would have been hurt. So many possibilities, I'd be reluctant to blame it on ant 1 thing unless sa lab found the actual cause. This is where all the Remington haters chime in.

I had a customer have a Bergara 22-250 blow up on him with factory ammo so it happens

You are initiating an explosion of SEVERAL thousand pounds of pressure just in front of your face. I personally applaud the weapon makers for the quality it takes to keep this from happening more often.
That's really the true answer to your OP, especially with as many watchers as you had.

Looks like a $1000 to $1500 rifle, around here. 257 Roberts should make it more valuable.
Very nice. Hang on to it.

They, like any else, are worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for one at that moment. Heck, a year or two ago, there was a huge run on the .220 Swift special "FIRST PRODUCTION" Rem700 rifles made back in 1990. At first, they were selling for about $3000, so I was tempted to put mine up for sale. But then I decided I'd rather have the rifle. Then later, they were selling in the $3,000s. Again tempted, again chose to keep the rifle instead. Others then started getting into the $4,000s for them in new with box condition. I saw a mint one with box and original everything go for over $10,000 (and I confirmed with the seller that the buyer actually PAID for it), so I decided I could part with mine for that kind of money. I got over $6,000 for mine a year ago, and it didn't even have the original box. The big run on them seems to have dissipated now, as I rarely see them come up for sale now, especially the mint condition ones.
a little late on that - OP said it already sold on GB
You might pick up a Blue Book of Gun Values, or perhaps one of the guys here could look it up with a Ser# and Model for you... I have a couple, but... they'er older books. Cheers

Ok... Try Guns.Com I see they have something there that seems to match up a little, although yours has a laminate stock, perhaps they could shed some light on it for you, just a guess. Your rifle looks like something Lipsey's, or Davison's Distributor, would have the factory make up for them, there are other wholesalers that do it as well, just a thought
Good luck Cheers
