Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Price check on Remington 522 Speedmaster.

I bought a Remington 552 Deluxe speedmaster ,good wood ,no cracks,all blue on barrel but a lot of blue wear where you would carry the rifle in your hand,good bore.
Made in 1981.
Was $300.00 total a bad deal ,good deal or so so?
Not looking to sell just curious about the price.
Thanks
Craig

Your not hurt

If its "clean", you're good. Not much wiggle room left, but still a decent buy.

Hey Craig, your model # in your title thru me off but I see you corrected it in your ad (522 vs. 552). Anyway I just sold my mint 552 speedmaster locally here in Pa. for $325.00. It was a safe queen with absolutely no wear, cracks or dings. I'm pretty sure that was strong money for this model. I haven't seen your rifle but I have seen them at gun shows in various conditions. Not that it mattered to me from a performance stand point, but I noticed that a lot of these 552's used were missing the deflection shield on the ejection port and many were missing the sights (late model were set up like a model 700/early models were welded on and notched in up front) or ejection handle (round knob). At the gun show, I saw them anywhere from $200.00 poor condition and up to $395.00 in pretty much 95% condition. It sounds like you did alright. Kimbo

Thanks guys .

Those are great rifles and the will fire all manner of 22rimfire.

You did good.

My brother paid $200 for this rifle at the Puyallup gun show 3-26-2011.

I have turned the gamma up on the pic to see the bluing [the stocks look darker than this].

It was made in 1967, it does not have a scratch on it.

I competed at every gun show for years with him to see who could get better deals. He is stiff competition.

That the first gun I ever used to take small game. I ended the day with 3 cotton-tails, 4 Jack-rabbits and a whole day full of great memories. I can still smell the gun powder in that cold winter air.....thanks for a blast from the past!!
