Today I had a trade offer for a browning BAR in .270. The guy wants my Remington 700 .243 with Leupold base and rings and a Simmons scope. He also wants my remington 770 .300 win mag with a brand new camo stock, and a brand new 6-18x50 bushnell scope. He also wants all of the ammo that I have ( if I had to guess I'd say 150 rounds)
According to him the browning was made in 1967 and it has ( prototype ) or something to that extent on it. According to browning '67 was the first year the gun was made?
Do you guys think this would be a fair trade? The gun I really want is a BAR safari with the boss system in a .30 caliber, preferably a .300 mag.
The issue I am having is giving up my only two deer rifles ( unless you count ar's,Ak's, and sks's as deer rifles) for 1 gun. I'd hate to be at the camp 2 1/2 hours away and drop the gun or something and not have a backup rifle that is sighted in. The guy says that his gun was the safari version before they called them safaris... He also said that he had a problem with the gun rusting so he had a gunsmith put a "ceramic" coating on it. My grandfather looked the gun up in his gun pricing book and says that they are worth as little as $400
ANY THOUGHTS? Thanks guys
