I have a nice Remington 700 Varmint Special in 223. It’s in a pretty good shape with a nice crisp 2.5 lbs trigger and shoots a consistent half MOA with hand loads at 100Y.
I was wondering what’s the current value of this rifle. I did search on GB for completed sells and it was not very conclusive.
I love this rifle and I’m not planning to sell it. It’s for my personal records.

I’ve seen these go for around $700-750 in similar condition.

Are some calibers more desirable than others? I saw completed sales on GB for the 6mm version that have reached pretty high dollars.

I have the same rifle with a straight Leupold 12X, bought it new in the early 90's it's a safe queen.
Many of California ground squirrel have been on the wrong end of it.

I would think one in that good of shape should be worth at least $1k.

Might be worth more right now

I’d say it would sell for $650 pretty easy.

6mm in that gun seems to be more rare, like the 220 swift, I could see those selling for more..
Gunbroker can be a good feel but will likely disappoint I once had a anschutz chipmunk, or something it was fairly rare because it was kid sized and they didn’t make many and even fewer were imported. I saw one sell for like 1,000 once and mine was like new in box I put mine on as no reserve and it sold for 675. It just depends on who’s looking at the moment it is listed.

Very nice

I'm sure it will sell for $650
That is if I was planning to sell (which I'm not).

This is a very high quality rifle with great fit and finish and a deep bluing that you rarely see these days. It's too bad that Remington doesn't make these anymore (probably too expensive to produce).

A varmint rifle in a barrel burner caliber like the 220 swift..... I would think twice before buying one, as it will probably need to be rebarreled.

It appears that the production of Remington 700 has been stopped. I do have a pretty new 700 VLS in 223 that I was planning to sell because it’s not free floated and only shoots 3/4 MOA (I need 1/2 MOA or better). But even that VLS is now going to become collectable. I’ll just keep it and try to develop a good load for it. With its 12 twist I can use my H335 powder to load some light projectile for it and save my Varget for heavier bullets that I’ll shoot in other rifles.

I bought the VLS new for $850. Right now, even used, they are selling for $900+; which is around the same price as the Varmint Special (which, in my opinion, is a better rifle)

Yea for 650 sale it to me

It is worth whatever someone is willing to give for it.

I have a .22-250 and I don't think I'd even consider an offer under a $1000.
