Sportviews are a decent quality hunting/field scope. I've had them mounted on "Pre-64" Model 70s, Remington 721s and Ruger M77s (5 or 6 different .30-06 hunting rifles) - only because they worked better for me than some of the Weavers and Leupolds that I've had (that cost 3-4 times as much). I agree with the value assessment of the rifle in general, though.
Are you a Pawn Shop or other dealer? I am curious, because of the firearms being tagged and the 'inventory notes'. With the statement that these are your father's hunting rifles - and you know nothing of them (sounds peculiar to me) - leads me to believe that you are a dealer looking for a price on these to sell. If your Father owned the shop before you and these were his inventory - you could say these were **his hunting rifles**. Nothing wrong with that at all - I'm just curious.
Hi Jim,
All of the items I've posted were my father's personal guns. I will keep a few, but I simply have no need for such a large collection. I'm trying to gain enough knowledge to make sure I don't get fleeced, but my feeling is that most of these guns have a lot of life left in them and would be better off in the hands of people that can appreciate and enjoy them instead of collecting dust in my house somewhere.
There are a few that I will definitely hang on to, and I won't lie... even though I never inherited dad's passion for shooting, this "inventory assessment" has definitely rekindled some excitement to get to a range!
The "inventory notes" I have referred to is nothing more than a little box of index cards that I just recently found in the house. Just my father's personal records with some notes he recorded for each individual gun.
I've no doubt he would MUCH rather see these in the hands of people that will actually use them (as long as I don't get ripped off in the process lol!)... since joining this forum and seeing how many others were just as enamored with firearms as he was, I've started to wonder if he wasn't a member himself at any point!
