50's Benchrest rifle

A friend has his dad's 219 wasp that was built in the 50's. a true benchrest rifle of that time era. He needs to sell, but doesn't know what to ask. Thxs DG

You probably need a few more details as to action, barrel etc

Can you post a picture and equipment list.

Check out Bob Whites "the Shooters Corner"......he usually has vintage BR rifles listed for sale with pricing.

As has already been said, some details would be helpful. Most of these rifles don't go for much as their value is mostly nostalgia or possibly varmint hunting. The value will probably be in the action, trigger, scope valued separately. I have bought several vintage benchrest rifles in the past few years for $400-700. Some can be competitive in local club matches. The 219 falls in the nostalgia category. It's fun, but won't compete with today's offerings.

Rick is correct. I have had several and $700 would have to be a very special rifle and great provenance.

$175 sounds like a real good truck gun.
