REM 722 40X 22LR HV BARREL SERIAL # 0089 MINT

Manitou,

If it is a US Property 40x it has less value than the commercial guns. It will be stamped US under the front scope mount (which, BTW, lowers the value too...these guns were not originally set up for receiver mounts)

I'd say $2000 ish

I own two 40X rifles with lower 2 digit serial numbers than any mentioned here and both are factory D&T for receiver mounted scopes. Perhaps you're thinking of the Win. 52 models. One of these rifles I bought from a Rem. engineer and was among the 1st batch of CF 40X's made. CF models were not generally available to the public until more than a year later than the rimfire version, although several were made available to a few BR shooters. These rifles were made off the 722 pattern, which were all D&T for receiver mounted scopes, so no reason to treat the 40X line differently. I don't think there is much likelihood that any of these 2 digit rifles have U.S. markings. That contract came somewhat later. Beautiful rifle manitou, but no idea of value. Don't see these early rifles on the market enough to establish an average.
 
I was fortunate enough to be able to buy three 40X RF rifles from the CMP back in 2005-07. Got two of the XB models w/heavy bbls, which are the later versions, based on the 700SA action; didn't receive the older 40X std wt bbl based on the 722 until after I'd given up hope of getting one. The older 40X was beat to crap, the bolt s/n didn't match the action s/n, and the bore looked pretty poor when examined with a Hawkeye borescope. I sent that action off to Jonathan Elrod at Modacam Rifles to have the repeater conversion for V22 magazines done, then re-barreled it with a Benchmark 3-grv blank when I got it back. Was so pleased with how well this rifle cycled & shot that I sent one of the 40XBs to Jonathan for the same repeater conversion. A good friend really wanted the other 40XB in its original condition, so I let him have it. He bought some CMP-sourced Redfield iron sights for it, and is enjoying teaching his daughter & son how to shoot with aperture sights. Looking at the invoices from the CMP, I paid $370-$380 for each of these rifles, which obviously was a bargain. I'd jump at the chance to buy another original U.S. marked 40XB in nice shape for that price...and this time, I'd keep it in its original configuration as a target rifle.

Those were bargains for sure. I ordered my limit of them when they first came up for sale.
