Not agreeing with you at all. You could get $70+ for the bottom metal, probably another $50 for the trigger and even if the stock was completely plain Jane, at least $25 for that. [beeep], even a shot out barrel could get you $25-$50 on several sites. So, for a $450 investment on an older 700 that for most, is a more desirable action than the current manufacturer versions, you could either have a nice shooting .22-250 or turn a profit of close to $100. Your risk is nill.
