Going rate for a Mini-14 Rancher Wood & Blue steel Like new

[Guest Nunya]

I'm considering a trade.  What's the going rate for one of these like new?

Have risen to about $650 on CDNN since Sandy Hook when they briefly have them. Plus $20 shipping/FFL transfer/TICS.

 

$625 is probably quite fair assuming it's indeed a 581 series in like new condition, anything less gets to be better and better deal.

 

Mags figure in more highly on a Mini deal too, as factory ones have gotten rarer and higher priced in the last year for factory ones, and good luck with second party ones.

I'd love to have one of those.....they seem to be pretty few and far between though.

Ok.  Thanks, folks.

I have never really kept up with all the different models but there have been a lot of Mini's coming through GT Dist in the last couple of months. Most were priced around $500-550. $550 for ones with scope mounts. Most are stainless w/wood, a few factory folders. There was one that was more but I was told it was the model accepting AR mags.

I have an ATI 581 model. Good rifle and purdy accurate with that stock on it. Bought a Hogue to put on it and loved the way it felt but it screwed the accuracy up, so I put the ATI back on. Need to find a syn stock and give that a try. Runnin' mine with a 6 pos. pistol grip, laser and a BSA scope. Works good for them ornery 'yotes. And yea, most after market mags suck, although a buddy's Tapco mags seem to work in his. I haven't had much luck with anything other than factory, though. Think I give $700 for mine when it was like new with a Pentax scope on it that I've moved to my Beeman pellet rifle for them smaller ornery critters.

Thanks for the info guys.  I closed the deal, but opted for cash instead.

My mini-14 6.8 has been a nice dependable rifle although finding mags for it has been a problem.
