Remington 700ML stainlesss

What would you pay for a Remington 700 ML stainless, scope and with the 209 conversion? Have a sick friend selling one..

Condition, condition, condition. It could be worth nothing, or it could be maybe 350 with maybe more if it has a quality scope. Somebody might pay more.

What 209 conversion & what caliber make some difference

 

[Bkusch53]

.50 cal. and I believe Remington conversion. He just said it uses 209 primers

When I worked in a gun shop for 5 years we would never payed more than $50 for a used muzzleloader. Many customers were put out by that offer and returned a week later for the $50.

Unfortunately the remington conversion is not very good. The one I had allowed so much blow back after 2 shots it wouldn't go off any more. That being said the stainless action is worth more than $50

Any glass on it?

If it has the remington or canadian 209 conversion, IMHO there is little advantage of using caps of some sort.

How is the stainless barrel on the interior? And if it is your friend how much do you value his friendship?

The 700ML in good shape, is a good solid rifle and can be made to utilize BH209 quite easily.

I believe he said when he bought it new it already used the 209 primers. I want to be fair with him so what dollar amount would you put on it?

With a quality scope, I would offer $500, with the option for him to buy it back when he can, up to a year.

Is it a Remington 209 breech plug or a Badger ~ ASG such type? Barrel interior condition?For a simple bore check. Take a 45 acp case or such and polish the head bright. ( I have a round mirror I use)
Drop it down the barrel and inspect ( unloaded barrel of course)
Or if time permits pull the breech plug and inspect.
Those two areas are most important in evaluating a 209 ml.
Used scopes can be “ Caveat Emptor” .
Those that have a lifetime warranty for any owner will have or retain a better value.

This being said and sight unseen I’d say low $175 , high $300 w/o scope.
Hope this helps.
My 2cts.

Thanks Greg and all other comments appreciated

The original Remington 209 system along with the Canadian version of the same are simply vented slam fire systems, not sealed 209 systems. Badger is a great upgrade!
