Last summer I found an old barreled Remington 700 LA (blued) with a shot out 30/06 barrel on it. It looked old and well used, definitely wasn't a safe queen ... but not something that couldn't be easily cleaned up and made new. I got it for practically nothing because the guy had no use for it and saw no potential for it where I saw it as a great platform to start a custom build. I've since decided to go with a 6.5 build and for that I need a short action. I know I could go with a 6.5x284 or 6.5x55 with this action but I'm not really interested in those calibers and am leaning towards the 6.5x47L.
Any idea on what this action is worth? I know new ones are in the $500 range so I'm thinking this has got to be worth at least $300, if not a little more but obviously my market is limited to someone looking to do a custom build with it. I've been keeping an eye on local pawn shops to try and find an old short action 700 to do a trade on but no luck so far.
Also, if you have a short action 700 for sale or trade PM me!!
