Trued and blueprinted 700 action what's it worth?

[mattp8893]

So I won a trued and blue printed 700 action (no trigger) haven't actually seen it I'll pick it up from my smith next weekend. I have no need for it right now and no idea what it's really worth. It's left handed anyone know a good asking price? The ones I've seen for sale on line are 600-650 but come with the factory trigger as well any input would be great thanks

Depends, in theory if you take a $400 action and dump $500 worth of gunsmithing into it you have a $900 action. The cost to replicate it. This is why most folks advocate buying a custom action from the get go... you'll spend the same money bringing a Remington up to speed.

That's for brand new stuff. Most items I've seen sell on here, with few exceptions, take around a 30% hit for used stuff. So your $900 action is unlikely to get many bites before the price hits about $630.

Some products hold value better, the quality and reputation of the smith doing the work would be a factor.

Well ptg is selling a blueprinted 700 with upgraded bolt for 400. If yours has different threads precluding it from the remage systems I would say that actually lowers the value in comparison but I bet you could command 500 on the market from those who aren't aware of that one particular sale.

Oh....I went digging into their "Actions" section, missing the gigantic ad on the home page. The internet is hard sometimes
