vanguard. ehh. Market it as a great 1st hunting rifle or one for ladies/youth (esp. out West) and you may get some bites! you could walk into a NY shop and sell it pretty close to that on the spot. I got one for my kid a few years back (.257; $450.) When he wanted to trade up to a better quality 300 WM, we sold it to a newby who took his first deer with it. it wouldn't be the first choice of hunters on AH IMO. Also much extraneous BS going on in the economy now (my g/f spends a vanguard a month now on gas to commute, et. al.!)
