Dr. LouValue of Sako AII Deluxe in 22-250
I don't have access to my Blue Book and would appreciate a little help with the value of a Sako AII Deluxe in 22-250 with the newer Hunter style stock, that is in "like new" condition. I have found these rifles to be going for $1200-1600, but would like to know what the bible says. Thanks, Lou

hayseed51Lou - Looks like 100% - $1185, 98% - $965, 95% - $750... As you probably know, and can see, precise condition is everything in these rifles.
My 2 centavos - BB does seem somewhat low compared to the real world. I too have seen many listed in the 12-16 range. However, I see very few actually sell at that price. Usually it takes a special piece of wood or uncommon caliber, or both to make a sale at top dollar. Since the economy took a dump, a slow market has gotten slower.

Dr. LouThanks, you're help is much appreciated. I gave $1250 for the rifle, but it came with a Nikon Monarch 6.5-20, original Sako rings and S&H. Now to make it a 358 Win.
