I have quit hunting due to age and lung problems and have an extremely good shooting mark x in .458 winchester magnum. It split the original stock and has a Bell and Carlson fiberglass with an integral sling ( doesn't bother your hand when shooting)., shoots clover leaf groups at 100 yds. I would like to sell it but have no idea what it's worth. Can anybody give me an idea what it's worth. Condition is excellant. PS. Bought new in late 70's or early 80's. It's a pretty light weight rifle for a 458. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | ||

I have three of the Alaskan's now and I paid between 425.00 which was ridiculous and 875.00 with original sights and stock. Great rifles but at the moment, 600.00 would be the top from what I have seen. Gunbroker has seen several come and go with starting bids of 600.00 with no interest.

There was (maybe still is) two of them listed here on the classifieds and both with original wood stocks. I don't believe either of them was sold.....I think jeffeosso is quite a bit high on his estimate. I'd say more like $400-$500 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

The were listed at $700 and $900, and both had cracked stocks. I think one that had not been messed with or damaged should fetch $600. I sold one for $600 several years ago. The world-wide demand for Mark X rifles dropped by 75% when Frank Martinez decided to spend his fun money hunting in Africa.

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

In my opinion, compared to their competition, the MK X actioned rifles are severely under-valued. The actions are built of quality materials and the barrels are well built and accurate. Since Remington now imports their 798, which is the same barreled action, prices for used rifles are still low. Here in Alaska your file should bring $600-700. Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Thanks for your input guys, I'll list it for $595.00 and see what happens. It has been magna-ported, which i like very much. It made recoil tolerable yet didn't increase the muzzle blast like a muzzle brake does. velocity is like a new car, always losing value. BC is like diamonds, holding value forever. | |||
