What is the value of this rifle in about 95% in the .244 caliber? I saw one at a gun show today and they were asking $1200.00 for it. Thanks.

Not sure what book value is, but OUCH!

I think you could get the Holy Grail of 760's (a .223) for $1200.

$1,200 seems like a lot of $$ for that rifle, unless you are a 760 collector with that particular hole in your collection or it is an upgrade to your current rifle.

I saw a minty 5-Diamond Remington 760 in 244 Rem at the LaVista, NE, Cabela's a couple of years ago for under $500 and posted it somewhere on 24-HCF as a heads up for 760 guys. About 2 years ago, I came across another 5-Diamond 760 at the same Cabela's, this 1 in 30-06, and bought it just because it was in such nice, high 90% range, shape.

I was at a gun auction on Sunday. There was a 760 5-diamond there in 300 savage. The checkering on the forearm was worn just about smooth but still visible and the buttstock had some pretty good scratches and 1 small gauge.The bluing was gettin kinda thin in a couple spots and had a couple scratches in it too. It had an older bushnell banner on it with the see-thru rings. It sold for $625. I went to $400 and bailed out as there were still 2 other guys bidding on it.I figgered $400 was enough as rough as it was. If that gun could talk I bet it coulda told some stories though'.

Jeesh...that seems like about $600 higher than it should be. Unless you reall, really want it.

I got them down to $900.00 with a period scope. The .244's were only made for I think 3 years. This rifle is in better condition than I had originally thought. It is in very collectable condition and very hard to find. I saw the one at Cabelas and it was in very rough condition. I saw one about 10 years ago NIB in the standard grade sell for $350.00. I should have bought it. I think that I will purchase it anyway.

If you like it and it will make you happy, grab it.

We've all done it... it's your turn!
