Howdy! I’m new here and not sure whether asking for comments on the dollar value of a couple of rifles is appropriate, but here goes. I’m looking to sell two of my father’s rifles: a model 722 Remington, .222 w/ 26 inch barrel and a model 722 .257 Roberts. Both are in very good condition. Any advice, guesses, etc as to what they are worth sold in a private sale in Kansas, where such sales are legal?

In nice condition, I'd probably expect to get between $650 and $800 each.
Personally, I'd keep at least one of them,...my preference would be the .222.

Check Gun Broker and Guns International for gross approximations of value. Of course, value will vary on condition of the fireman. But that'll get you started. You could also check a Blue Book.

Prices are so arbitrary for older rifles that it's about impossible to know what they'll bring.
Put something on Gunbroker and it might not even get a bid. Or, 4 people who are big fans of that particular rifle may all want it bad enough to bid it up well beyond its typical value.
722s have a lot of interest. If they're in nice original condition, you might get a very good price for them. But usually, nice original condition is necessary to bring top dollar, of course.

Thanks! I’m going to use the $3 to buy a senior coffee and sausage biscuit at McDonalds. I’ve been using Google which is how I ended up here. I’ll probably offer them for sale on Armslist. The .222 has a 15x Lyman SuperTarget spot on it that I think would sell better on EBay. I’m tempted to keep the triple deuce. I used to shoot varmits and targets with my Dad. I had a .219 Donaldson Wasp, custom made by a friend. I bought it used. We did the hand loading together. I think it was a 30/30 brass necked down to .22. Or maybe a .30.06. Beautiful wood. Heavy duty bull barrel, Mauser action, set triggers, etc. Dad used to say it was “ the which to which there was no whicher.” I don’t shoot anymore so I’ve decided to pass the torch. I think I sold the .219 to buy a field grade 20 gauge Ithaca that I sold to buy bicycles for my kids. Well, enough reminiscing. Thanks again. More comments welcome.

There isn't a more gentile cartridge that is still capable of everything than the 222. Good luck with it and only do Armslist if it's face to face and you're armed.

Since we doing what’s it worth.... What’s this worth? Enough to buy a decent toenail clipper with something left over.
If you love someone set them free
If they come back no one else liked them
Set them free again
