I want to buy a nice rifle so I think I'm going to do 1 in / 1 out. I looked all over the internet and only found 1 that was a single barrel gun like mine, $8999.00 on a gun dealers website. 2 barrell sets are listing online for 12,500.00.
I know listed price isn't selling price but what is reasonable?
Orig hard case, snapcaps, etc. I've never fired it, may not have ever been fired.
#20-0021, SST, SSBP, BTFE, CPG, 26" bbl, .007/.004.

Dev,
I just can't see spending either $8999 or $12,500 for a Parker REPRO. It has 26" barrel, which are well out of favor. I would prefer to spend more and get a minty original with 30" barrels. I think that the REPRO is worth $4500 retail. But, I wouldn't buy it at that price, because there are so many better guns in that price range.
Phil

We may have to segue over to the Rifles sector of Uncle Davey's forum here, but being a die-hard rifleman (as are all Marines at heart) and loving the Mauser 98 BA and its great clones: Springfield 1903, Winchester M54 and the classic pre-1950 M70, Dakota, and now the Kilimanjaro series 100% made in Montana- what do you have in mind as to caliber, action, maker, sight groups, optics and mounts--I see a lot of good guns locally for sale in my neck of the woods, due to the crapped-out MI economy and now this year with the deer season coming up (firearm 15/Nov to 30/Nov)and the deer population way down due to summer drought and disease- a few good possible bargains around- FYI

Phil It's a BHE, not the much more common DHE, Reproduction. I would say a gun such as yours should start at $9000 at least. The BHE Repros were hand engraved. Very nice piece, especially in your configuration. JR
Be strong, be of good courage.

Regardless of some people not liking Parker Reproductions, there is still a significant market for the gun. $4500 is ridiculously low. Obviously.
My guess is its more like $7500 to 8500.

My guess is its more like $7500 to 8500. In 2008 I would have agreed with these numbers, but in 2012 I believe ~ $6500 is more realistic. Besides the economic climate of today, this particular gun's configuration will also hold it back.
