I'm looking for a valuation for a friend for his CO2 match rifle.
Any ideas fellas what he should be looking for realistically....?

Purhased new 09/04/02.
Slight rust on muzzle end of barrel and front barrel weight as seen in photos
CO2 Cylinder included (TW6.4kg/GW11.4kg)
Case not included.

I have only ever seen one for sale,that was at city air weapons and they wanted £395 for it...Forgot to add that it was a left hander,so maybe not relevant to a right handed model...

A left hander would be a lot less common and could probably command a higher price, but also the dealer has to make a profit and pay the dreaded vat as well as offering some sort of a warranty so these factors would take a big chunk of the price.

The rust also spoils things a little (but probably not the performance) so my guess would be closer to £250.00 as CO2 rifles are not really that desirable compared to PCP or even the resurgence of interest in SSP rifles

Strange really as CO2 pistol interest has never really wained.

A nice looking rifle,which sadly is probably worth very little now

Up to £250, Beeman's Blue Book (which as an American publication tends to over-value European guns) has it at 475 Dollars for one in 90% condition.
