I have a Remington 700 SPS in .308 that is in like new condition, I am thinking of putting up for sale. I don't know what I want to replace it though. I am thinking of a Springfield 1911 US GI 45 acp. Would that be a good even trade? I do have a Nikon Prostaff 3x9x40 on it now but would like to keep the scope. What do you guys think? If I sell the rifle out right, what would be a good going price with and without the scope? Scope cost me $200.00.

I was just on gunsamerica checking prices of both the 700 SPS and the Springfield 1911 GI and they seem to be close maybe $100.00 off without the scope for a new one. Any thoughts?

I'm right up the road from you if you want to do a cash deal on the Rem. A .308 is on my want/ not need list. I have nothing in that price range to trade.

I am stewing over it now Swampghost. I don't know why, I just was looking at a gun book and started wanting. I just really don't know what I really want. I'll think it over for the next few days and give you a PM. Thanks.

There was a time when I had 1911's running out my wazoo along with Lugers, Broomhandled Mausers, 1903A3's, .303,s...... I'm a WWII buff.

Sure wish that I'd kep't them as well as my '64-1/2 Mustang (one of the first rolled out), my '68 Chevelle SS 396, '68 Firebird, '68 GMC 3/4T pickup (just a mule of a truck) ........

Swampghost- +1 on the '64 1/2. My mom bought one in July of '64, a year before I got my license. It was Orange with a black vinyl top. 289, 4bbl carb. Not a hi-perf but fun for me....Sorry for the Threadjack...

This is more of a public PM.

I got the 'stang from a lady that had seen it at the '60 NY auto show and placed her order when it went into production. Mine had the straight 6, auto tranny and Sears A/C, pretty much a dog until the 'r's picked up a bit.

White on the outside, red on the inside and a droptop. I never checked but it may have been one of the very first convertibles.

The body of the original (1960) was designed by Osca/Maserati. Fiat supplied the engine and Ferrari the transmission. How do I know this? Dad bought the car and I blew out 3rd gear learning to drive, took 3 mos. to took get the gear from Italy.
