I am at a place in time where I need to move some toys on.
My problem is my guns that are odd and I cannot find like guns on auction sites such as a Wycliffe single shot and a Ruger no.1 in 22-454,
Any help on value? Thanks

Rem 760 in 222 is another

The 760 is easy depending on condition 200 to 500. It would have to be absolutely mint to bring 500 IMHO

Unless you have forming dies and brass even then the fact that it is a really off beat wildcat most likely cuts the value of the NO.1 a couple hundred bucks.

Now if you can find someone that can't live with out it you might be able to get the cost of an original rifle out of it.

What caliber is the Wickliffe...?

the Wickliffe is 270 win

As few of them made I would hope for more, in my area a moderately worn 760 in common calibers is $450

First, Canada has ~35 million with relatively few gun owners; the U.S. has ~315 million people with about 70 million gun owners.

Prices will come down in the U.S. when people cease their panic buying.

The ammunition manufacturers are churning out product 24 hours a day.

Cumberland Gap Arms (name?) is building rifles on the Wickliffe. They start at about $1200. Don't know if they are selling any.

I would guess yours is worth about $700-800 from ones that have sold on firearms auction sites the past two years.

HT, I'd put them on Guns International. That sight seems to have the buyers looking for unusual and higher-end firearms. I've had great luck there. Listing fees with 12 photos is only $10, and no fees when sold.

The 760 is more like an $800 gun. Quite rare and desired by the running deer shooters around here. Not at all priced like the normal 760s you see. The 223 is also desirable for the same reason.

Canada has relatively few HANDGUN owners because handgun owners have been required to get a permit BEFORE purchase or possession for over 50 years, and they cannot normally be carried anywhere except to and from an authorized range. Plus, as a general rule "self defense" is not considered a valid reason for granting a permit. Target shooting or collecting are the two reasons for which handgun permits are normally granted.
But when it comes to rifles and shotguns, Canada generally has as high a percentage of the population as the USA owning one or more.

In the west, (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta & B.C.) and in the Territories (Yukon and NWT) the percentage of long gun owners is higher than in the U.S.

You do find far fewer semi-auto and full-auto rifles, %-wise than in the USA, because the rules for some makes or models simply forbid them altogether, while another batch of them are pretty much owned under regulations similar to handguns.

But single-shot, lever actions, pumps, and bolt actions are as common as grass, and until 1979 could be bought and sold by mail by anyone who wasn't forbidden to own ANY gun as a result of having been convicted of an indictable offense (felony).

In '79, one became required to get a firearms acquisition certificate (FAC) before purchase or possession, but the permit was for the person, not any particular gun and was easy to obtain. With the FAC, one can buy any number of guns, through the mail, with no dealer involvement on either end of the transaction except where local laws specify otherwise. There are a few areas in Canada which have something like New York's Sullivan Law, but they are mostly large urban cities.

About 10 years ago the Liberals got registration and such applied to long guns, but their government fell from power pretty much as a result, and those laws were abolished. In the meantime the western provinces pretty much refused to enforce the new law, and people continued as before. All of the above is "generalized" info, and one can nit-pick it to death, just like anything else posted on these forums. But, that is the general gist of gun ownership in Canada.
