    Hard one because I wouldn't want a spare stock if I was buying, what would I pay..... If one came up near me at £700, I would be in my car

    I have spend around a grand getting my 0.177 PE where I want it to be, but that included purchase, a Venoman sleeving to 25mm, complete re-blue and a CS800 stock to replace the original beech stock that had been snapped and badly repaired.

    £750 would be a fair value for the rarity.

    I'd go a little less, as they are a bit crap at 12FP, so need need to factor in a sleeve down conversion.. but still £600 min.
    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.

    I bought 2off pro elites over a year ago. Id day your. 177cal should be worth around the £750 mark due to the calibre rarity.

    Personally no more than an HW80 with whatever stock, but that’s me
    If they were that great, people would have bought them instead on HW’s at the time eh

    I'd forgot about that Paul!

    You will find it at the bottom of the page fellas so will need to go through a lot more gun porn I'm afraid.

    Right if its the last picture on the page, then the walnut isn't the most exciting.
    I'd put a valuation nearer £650 than £750. Here are the reasons why: a good example is worth £550 for rarity, a tad more for .177. The additional stock another £70. For more that £650 the rifle needs to look sexier with more colour to the walnut.
    It is a rare rifle and not cheap in its day. £550 is a premium for a second hand rifle. Not many rifles second hand have any premium and most are in freefall until they hit the good value compared to new stuff. So the Pro Elites are already demanding much and doing exceedingly well when most rifles don't. Top price still have to compete with the custom stripey numbers that look the bucks.

    Having said that someone might have snapped it up at the top figure and be happy as punch.
