how much do you think its worth?

[weejohn 3]

here are a few photos of my

tikka t3 22-250 stainless/synthetic. i have been thinking about changing rifles to a 243

and thought i would ask you guys roughly how much it is worth?

from new it has only probably fired around 300 rounds and the rifle is in perfect condition.

i would be keeping the scope but the rifle could go with the t8 mod and optilock rings and bases.

accuracy wise it shoots 1/2 groups at 100 yards with federal ammo, 40,50 and 55 grain bullets.

 

any rough guestimations will be much appreciated .

 

i have edited to add i have tried guntrader but there are no rifles like this for sale second hand

Put a NV scope on it,and get the .243 as well

i had thought about it cheater but unfortunately i really dont think i could find a decent nv dedicated unit for £1600.

Why the switch to 243?

[weejohn 3]

thats a really good question , i really am perfectly happy with the 22-250 but more than anything i just fancy a change i suppose. ballistically with lighter bullets the 243 is a flatter shooting round so is still perfect for fox but i am wanting to get into reloading and the 243 has a huge range of bullets to choose from. i was in the gunshop yesterday and was told that they would give me £350 for the bare rifle or £450 with the mod .

Save your money. Buy your reloading kit keep the .22-250 !!

 

If you are shooting Fox why do you need any more bullet weights than offered in .22 from 40 - grn ?

i agree all though you would find it hard to go higher then 60 grains out of a 22/250 in less you have a 1 in 9 twist.

 

most 22/250's are 1 in 14 so 55 grains is about the limit. i no the steyr ssg is a 1 in 12 so you could use a 60 grain in that.

 

if he is offering you tht price for the rifle he will have it uo for 500 for the rifle or 650 with the mod i bet so i would sell private. put it on guntrader i would ask 550 for it

there is nothing wrong with it john what gunshop did you go to

[weejohn 3]

i do agree that if i was only going to be using it for fox i would just stick with the 22-250 but later this year i will be starting to do some deer stalking.

 

thanks for the input jamie g

it was borders gunroom.

 

another option i have is to get it rebarelled in 243 as 2 rfd's said this was possible.
