Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Estimated price on BRNO VZ24

Selling a Brno VZ24 IN .257 Weatherby with fluted & ported barrel. McMillan stock black with spider webbing fitted by factory. Action & barrel rust inhibited coating, Timney trigger, jeweled bolt. Zeiss 3-9x40MC scope.What price should I advertise for? Thanks.

About half what you paid to have it built. Factor the scope in separately.

If you have a semicustom rifle in a standard cal that you want to sell at 1/2 price I'm interested in buying.

It depends on the quality of work and name of the maker. I bought a really nice 1909 Argentine with a Shilen barrel in .280, 3-position safety, custom bolt handle, Brown Precision stock, etc. and it was all put together by someone who knew how to gunsmith Mausers so the quality was high. Original cost when it was built was around $2,500 20 years ago I was told. I paid $600 at a local gunshop. When I decided to sell it, it sat in the classifieds on here for a year or so and I think I got around $500.

1/2 original cost is probably optimistic on a custom Mauser...

You may get lucky on Gunbroker, I'd guess you'll get between $500-600 for the rifle. Sell the Zeiss seperately, worth more that way. Most return would be to sell the stock seperately too.

I've said it before and I'll repeat myself, NO ONE builds a Mauser and actually believes they will make any money on it. You build a Mauser, because it's a Mauser.
