Local store has on consignment a new, never fired, with box (don't care about the box) Ruger M-77 in .358win. Ser # is 73-XXXXX (five digits after the dash).
They are asking $600 but think the owner will come down "a little".
I do want a 358 win but was planning on having one built on my MRC action.
What's it realy worth?

It's pretty obvious that you are teasing us. Might as well say you have a trophy elk in your sights and a tag and you wonder if it's too close to the truck to shoot it now!
Not teasing, just really didn't know the value. I had the rifle put on "hold" for me till I get a could get a few comments from more knowledgable folks like you.
I really didn't know what it was worth, to me it seemed kind of high when any old short action can get re-barreled to that cartridge and you will have about the same money in it.
Edited to add - They did come down on the price just a little.
There's a USED one on GunsAmerica for $1250. I'll pay the asking price of $600. for the new one. Even a blind hog can find an acorn now and then, but not too often.
