Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Price check on an A bolt, please

I have a like new(less than 30 rounds fired), Browning Abolt Stainless synthetic, with the BOSS system in 243 Win. I can't find another one in 243 Win to compare it to.

A friend of mine says that they didn't make very many 243's in this configuration and did not know what to value it at.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

5-700 range

Boss hurts the value to me

I'm not big on them either, but that being said, they do certainly work for "tuning" a load.

PM sent.

We are talking air rifle recoil.

$900-1000 . Maybe more to the right buyer

I sold a micro Hunter A-bolt in 204 Ruger a year ago for $750 shipped.

That rifle would easily bring 1000 on an auction site. Maybe 1200. The boss may hurt value to a few but not the majority.

Thanks for the input everyone

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!

That would go for a good bit more these days. Esp in 204

Dang I'd love to have one of those in 243 or 25-06.

Check your PM.

More I think about it, I don't think Ive ever seen the 243 in stainless stalker with boss. I know they were made but don't know how many. I have one in 280 and would trade my left arm for it OP. That may be a hen's tooth u have there

That's kinda what I was figuring as well. I've spent the last couple days trying to find another to compare it to, and came up dry.

I have a couple in 223 nib and one nib 22-250

I have at least 7 SS A-Bolt's all the BOSS option from 7mm-08 on up to 375 H&H.

The smaller caliber were not produced with a BOSS option in the same volume as
larger more popular calibers (ie 270,30/06, 7mm Mag, 300 WM). So price point
could run a little higher and also depending on the part of the country as values
can vari if a local sale vs. internet.

Most of these SS version rifles trade in the $600-$800 range on average depending
on condition and caliber.

I've seen the BOSS option all the way down to 22-250.

As a side note, the first rifle I ever bought with my own money was a Stainless Stalker in 270. It must have been 1992 or so. the damn thing corroded sitting in the gun cabinet. I always oiled it. Can't say it was rust, but the stainless had dark colored stains on it. Sent it back to Browning, they media blasted it and I sold it. Not a good experience for a guy just starting out and spending a lot of money that I didn't have much of.
