I have a Ruger 338 RCM walnut stock, lefthand I'm thinking of selling. Any ideas what to ask for it? Blue, open sights, as new. Thanks

Prices are all over the map. When CDNN closed them out they sold for $499. Now they seem as rare as hens teeth despite the fact ammo is difficult to find. I would sell with a 14 day auction on Gunbrokers.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Maybe $850.... Sold mine and shouldn't have. Best 2.5-3" shooter I ever owned. Took the nicest Black Bear of my life at about 20 paces. Did not measure the group as it only took 1 round! I am sure i had a non typical representative of the average accuracy with them. Great balance and short enough to be about perfect in the woods.

I bought mine thru CDNN for $499. To be honest this is the best hunting rifle I own IMO, perfectly balanced rifle. It's difficult to give the Ruger RCM rifle much value because the cartridges are commercially dead and I've no idea where you source ammo from. Unfortunately they're worth what someone is willing to pay and given the circumstances of the dead cartridge its probably minimal. Then again I could be wrong.

Its does right around 1" four shot groups with barnes 185TTSX and something like 1.25-1.50 with 210 partitions. I can't say I did much load development with it as that was much more than i needed for my application. Sure is handy, it will be going to Ontario for moose in another 7 weeks.

Drew a maine moose tag, thinking of taking it. Shot 210 nosler partitions in a 1 1/2" group Sunday. I have a 300 win mag model 70 and a 358 win Sako so it's kind of in between and ammo and brass is hard to fond.

Great rifle a factory custom needs to be bedded to prevent stock from splitting.

I too grabbed a CDNN close out. Have a few hunerd pieces of brass. I am probably a bit younger than some of you. But I really warm up to that rifle for some reason. I resurect it out of the safe once in a while. Think I have a 3-9 with illuminated dot on it. Sooooo flippin Handy.
Called in a pretty stout cinnamon boar a few years ago and fed him a 185 TSX at 38 yards. DRT!
Please God, give me some good tags this year....
