I have this Remington Classic chambered in 350 Rem Mag. I believe it has not been fired outside the factory, but I bought it 'used' so I can't swear to it. I have some ammo that is quite difficult to find - 250 grain factory loads. I also have almost 200 hand loads with 250 grain Interlocks SP some with IMR 4320 and the rest with H4895 powder. These loads were for my now gone down the road 600. I see only one on Guns International for about $1,600 from Cabela's. The last time I tired pricing close too but under Internet prices I was insulted publicly and with nasty PM's. A guy that shared my table at the Sioux Falls gun show sold ten boxes of the much more common 200 grain factory loads for $75/box and it sold fast. If I were to sell it all plus Lee dies, what can I expect to get?

That’s a nice one. If I didn’t already have two, I’d be sending a PM. 😁 I would think $1600 is easily in the ballpark.

Yeah, probably in the neighborhood (without scope). I've had my 700 Classic 350 RemMag since buying new in '85 or '86, wouldn't even consider asking less than $1500 (not that it's for sale!), and it's seen a little more use than yours.

But what I don't understand is why you haven't shot it! Inconceivable! Mine's one of the most accurate rifles I've ever shot.

1500-1600 seems like a good score to me. That’s a dandy 700.

The Cabela's in LaVista, NE, has a minty one in the Gun Library. They also have a 600 and a 660 in 350 RM and a 600 in 6.5 RM. I don't remember what they were asking for it, but if it is like almost every other firearm at Cabela's it is over-priced.

Those 6.5 600’s are more than a little pricey. The 350 600’s are high enough.
I’ll probably regret selling this rifle. I have a 35 Whelen 700. I’m have the barrel shortened to 20.5” and threaded for a suppressor. I’d hate to do that with this.
Not sure what I’d do with the hand-loads since I don’t have a manufacturer’s license.
I really need to start selling guns instead of buying.

This is a really nice looking 700 classic. It’s just a poor time to sell high ticket items. I’ve got a KS Mod 7 in 350 I’m thinking of selling. The 350 is a hammer as we all know. If you list it, GLWS. I really do think it may be tough to move right now for what it’s actually worth.

It's very nice. There was a Remington 673 in 350 Remington Mag on the shelf at the Scheels in Iowa City. It's been there a long time. There apparently wasn't any ammo or components available for it, so folks walked on by. Strangely I popped in another sporting goods store 2hr north of here in Cashton, Wisconsin and they had a 350 RM for sale.

Haven't seen any ammo or brass available in this caliber in a long time. If you do sell it will help to include plenty of ammo/components. It's a beautiful rifle otherwise.

I have over 200 loaded with all being 250 grain bullets and have dies. I have come to dislike the Classifieds here. I may put this on Guns International or Cast Boolits.

Is it legal to sell hand-loads as “components only”?

As the Economy under Biden’s Illegal Administration continues to crumble, so will the “collector’s” gun market.

Personally, I’d keep it and hunt with it. My Remington Classics are some of my favorite hunting rifles.

My classics are some of my favorites too. I like the dark wood.

My 700 classic 35 Whelen isn't going anywhere. I think it's about time to warm that 350 barrel up. Report back with accuracy results. Besides..good accuracy results also help rifles sell. I'm sure you'll be able to produce a glowing accuracy report.

It is a good looking 700 Bugger.

At least with the 350 you can generally make brass if you had to from anything H&H based. Heard folks would hacksaw them to length and form back in the old days. I wouldn’t scared if I had to.

I’ve done it with two cases, 338 and 7mm RM just to see how difficult it might be. It’s pretty easy. Take the decamping rod out, run into full length sizer, trim. I didn’t need to trim the neck thickness for the 600. I don’t know if it would be needed in this rifle. I sent an e-mail to the ATF to see if I could sell the ammo as components only. E-mail would not go through. I called the ATF office in Twin Cities. The guy said that as long as I was not setting up a business to sell ammo I'd be OK as long as the buyer knew it was hand loads.

I'll do you a favor and come up and take that canoe paddle off your hands for you! Lol!

Seriously though, very nice rifle! Only thing I do with 350 Rem Mag brass now is neck it up for my 375/350.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do with it, but as far as pricing, all you can do is put a price on it and go from there. How people react is a reflection on them.

Start high, you can go down. I’d like to have a 35 Whelen Classic for the hell of it.

I don't do anything with Gunbroker anymore. But if that's the price they are selling, I'll keep the rifle.

I did look on closed auctions on Gunbroker just a bit ago. There was only one that said, “Appears unfired” $1,595 plus shipping plus tax. It had a plain stock and no scope base. So if you want to use Gunbroker completed auctions…

I have it for sale on Cast Boolits, their rules say that it can’t be for sale anywhere else.
