What's the most surprising price you've seen lately?
One of our local gun nuts passed away last fall. His auction this week had a remington 700 bdl 22-250 w/ a leupold sold for $2500+

The Remingtons (pre-2000 for sure) have gone nuts.
Used to be able to buy used 700s short actions for $600-800 all day. Now you can’t touch them for less $1200-1400 and up.
Ten years ago it was all in the pre-64 model 70s. Now everyone wants 700s.
I made it to a few gun shows this winter and it’s crazy what they’re getting for them. Makes me wish I had a few of the ones back I’ve sold/traded over the years.
What’s crazy is you don’t see any of the “cheap” 700s that started around 2000. The stupid triangle barrel, SPS cheap stuff. I’m betting a fair number of them got tore down and the actions used in a custom build since that route has gotten so popular.

Remington 760's and 7600's. Around here you used to be able to walk into any gun shop or show and walk out with a decent 760, especially in 06 for 375-400. No that are atleast twice that and the rarer ones are out of sight

Even the ol' $150 commercial "Hawkens" blackpowder guns 4-5-$600 now. I was wheeling and dealing on an old TC at a show a month ago. He wasnt stupid priced, $300, but still a tad high. I’d have given him $250 but he wouldn’t budge. Also found a Bear Kodiak Special Deluxe which is one I don’t have in my collection and they’re really hard to find in good shape. They only made them in 1960, they used clear glass which was notoriously bad. Stress cracks and pulling away from the wood. I’ve never seen one I’d call in shootable shape. Always wanted one for the right price knowing I’d have to put a couple hundred into it to make it shootable again. He wanted $400. He was kind of a cranky old turd. I made my offer and he said he may as well take it home and burn it for less than $400. Hope it kept him warm.

Yeah, I bought those for 5 to 600 pre virus. Almost kept one for myself in 17 rem before I had one put together.
Saw a guy asking 3200 on some forum the other day.
JM stamped Marlin lever actions 5 to 7 not very long ago, now 1400

They should have called the .17 Rem the .17 Fox.
Best fox caliber out there.

Asking $435 For just the barrel. 15 years ago I could buy all the components plus a fancy grade maple blank for $600 to build a full stock longrifle. Now it’s a grand or better, and that doesn’t include any wood upgrades, just a plain Jane slab of wood.

It’s a long action which over here aren’t near as hot as the short action chamberings. There was a .25-06 at the last show he had $1400 and change on, it was not on his table a few hours later.
