New member Intro and Request for estate items value

Have been a lurker for a while but went ahead and joined about a month ago. Just turned 70 and have been a shooter/hunter/guntrader all of my adult life. I have pretty good knowledge related to S/S and O/U shotguns and less experience with rifles and handguns. Kept Brittany Spaniels and hunted grouse, woodcock and quail for many years.

The main reason I joined is because my long time team partner in bass tournaments recently passed away from lung cancer. He asked me to help his wife sell his fishing tackle, boat and firearms and accessories. He was a Marine in Vietnam and was a sniper. He continued his interest in long distance shooting in civilian life and competed in Palma matches. He had 3 very nice custom Palma rifles, 2 in .308 and one in .223. They are all based on Winchester Post-64 actions and have Redfield Palma sights. He also had a lot of reloading supplies, powder, brass, primers, Sierra Match King bullets and various tools and accessories for reloading. Items listed in Reloading classified section. He also had a 2008 Triton 20X HP bass boat with Merc 250 ProXS that his wife needs to sell also.

I am located in Western NC and would be willing to deliver or meet with interested buyers within a reasonable distance.

Best of luck to you in your endeavors. I can only hope that my lifelong friends are this amazing IF they outlive me.

I will try to post some more information and photos on the rifles and other items when I get a chance. Just had disc fusion on Cervical 5,6,7 this past week so it will take me a while to get around to it. I would appreciate guidance from the board membership on establishing fair values for the rifles and entertain offers for the complete collection of stuff. His wife really needs the money and I told her I would do my best to sell everything for fair prices.

He is a very serious flyrod guy now. I hate it when the sons and grandsons grow up and move away. I miss the shooting, hunting, and fishing trips. This bass came out of our fishing pond.
 
Welcome
I’ve had to help a friends widow sell items twice now.
My advice is to price to sell.
Good luck and I hope everything moves quickly.

For sale listing of these items on Reloading, Misc. for sale forum. Take a look..
Good luck and compliments to you for your assistance to your friends family in their time of loss.

Have been called on in the past for the same mission. It is not always easy, every piece conjures up memories of the good times had on the firing line or in the woods or ground hog fields.
