Quoted:
Hive, I have a potential deal and need some advice. I have this DPMS 308AR for sale/trade. Guy has offered a Remington 700 SPS Varmit with bedded factory stock and TPS 20MOA rail and TPS rings 30mm for my gun and mags, no scope or rings on my part. What amount of cash should I look for? I was thinking 250-300 but I am always bad at these things. thanks in advance, The way your rifle is set up, I'd want $500 difference. Negotiate from there. Craig |

Semis always have the potential to be worth more. What are you looking to gain going bolt action?

Is the 700 a 308 also?

I'd say 3-4 hundred in boot.

The 700 is also 308.
No matter how hard I work at it, I can't shoot the semi 308 well. thanks for the opinion gents. Craig |

If it were me I'd throw in a better trigger and get a different barrel for the DPMS. Also weaver brand products don't exude quality to me and the scope is entry level. But if your looking to scratch an inch by getting a bolt action the Remington has a good following. Though I'm more into Tikkas, CZ, And Savages.

One thing to check, if it has the plastic camo stock you'll be looking to relace it ASAP!
Those things are junk!!! |

I'd not make that trade.
The stock that comes with the SPS-V is complete shit, it belongs in a dumpster. The barrel is pretty lack luster as well. Sure he's got a decent base and rings on it, but that doesn't make it really worth that much more to me. If it had a better barrel and stock on it I'd consider it, but as it is I'd not bother.

I'm with K1, I wouldn't make that trade. If you're in this position, I'd just sell the DPMS and consider purchasing a different rifle. The SPS is okay but the stock is shit. The fact that this guy bothered to bed it is an interesting decision, to say the least.
If it were me, and Budget allowing (of course), I'd consider a Tikka CTR or Remington 700P/PSS. If you want to get a cheaper rifle that is still incredibly accurate, look at a Savage Model 10 (or 11 in the Hog Hunter model). In the budget realm, I'd also consider a Howa. |

Thanks for help guys. I didn't do the trade and still have the DPMS.
I will keep for now but still have it listed for sale. If it sells I will buy a bolt. I either want a remington 700 5r or the Savage 10 with 5r. Thanks, Craig |
