Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire When You're Putting a Rifle Up For Auction, Include the Scope or No?

I always figured it was a good way to get rid of a junker scope.

I've always hated it when you've got to buy a rifle stirpped not only of scope, rings, but bases. I'm talking gun show here, but that's the usual way. Sure, I understand buying separate items at the gun shop when new, but holy fugg.

All my iron is scoped, rings lapped, bases bedded, and if I ever sell them it's going to be unitized. I'll even have a recent sample target so people know they're getting a shooter.

I can think of an exception. Once, many moons ago, I was cash-poor and was one scope short of covering all my long guns and had to keep pulling a zeroed scope off of one or another to plink with/ hunt/ or whatever. In desperation, I bought a really cheap Tasco (like $30 maybe) to alleviate some of that. I think it was a 3-12X40 bubble pack and it was so dim you could barely see through it. Anyway, I was selling off a low end rifle, cheap, and the buyer "insisted" it have a scope on it.. "No problem!" I said. Win, win for me.

Well he was pulling moldy stuff outta his gun safe the other day.

Probably something I can " Rescue" I bet.
Ya think he is wanting top dollar baller price?
Hence the auction option???



Just wish he would give us Remington 783 ot6 package scoped rifle
types a shot and say what it is.

I bet I got something in trade and some boot that might trip his trigger.
Never gonna know I guess.......

I know he loves the Isreali,s and Jewish people.
Might be a star of david marked 98 mauser Sniper rifle, or a Old school wood stocked Galil or something.


Geuss we will never know.....


LOL!!!

All of the really good used rifle deals I ever got included scopes. Selling with the scope is the best thing you can do for the seller.

no scope.......rings/bases yes

(for me any how)
