Title: Would you do this trade?
Post by: the Ward on March 10, 2013, 08:54:24 AM
A friend of my buddy has a sp10 like new only shot 5 times wants to trade for my rem 700 s/s 375 ultra mag.Would this be a fair trade?The rifle has appx. a box of shells thru it and i haven't shot it since 08.I would love to have a 10 again (had a bps back in early 90's)but i don't know what a sp10 is worth?He said he would take $700 cash for it with 5 or 6 boxs of shells with it.Love my rifle but i live in Ohio and don't get much use out of it unless i hunt out of state(pa)So my question is is an sp10 in like new condition worth $700?From what he told me its one of the first ones made(low serial #)Thanks for any input!....ward

If it is truly LNIB, then I would buy it or swap immediately. They run from $750 to $1200 on gunbroker usually.

No brainer, make the trade, or pay him the money.  Either way you are ahead.

In Kansas and Nebraska I usually see used SP 10's no lower than $ 850 for a decent one.

slightly off topic-what is the "going rate" for sp-10 barrels?

Since the rifle is a 375 ultra mag and guessing you probably don't hunt grizzly bears or cape buffalo on a yearly basis, I'd do it. But only if he wouldn't bite on the $600 cash offer.
