Default Browning Belgium BLR in 308 Win

Gun is in very good condition. Old style high gloss blueing is about 95%, slight wear at muzzle, rest is bright and clean, average walnut, typical hunting and handling marks, but no chips cracks or gouges. Bore is shinny, excellent condition, shows little useage. Anyone have an idea what I should be paying for this, asking is $900.

It's a tad rich.
More likely $650-$750

I have to agree with Dick ... especially when you consider that for ~ $1,000 you can buy a 'brand-new' BLR.

I'd offer $600 cash, and see where it goes from there. But in the end, I wouldn't pay any more than $700.

Good Luck
