If you choose to sell, the best approach would be to call gun shops (not "box" stores) in your area and ask about a consignment sale. That means that you leave the gun with the dealer to sell after you and the dealer agree on an amount that you will receive when the rifle sells. The dealer gets whatever above that he can.
A consignment sale is almost always better for the seller than a direct sale to the dealer.
Depending on your area, a direct sale (newspaper ad) may be one way to sell, but some newspapers won't accept gun sale ads and in some places it may bring attention from people you wouldn't want to sell to. Using a dealer eliminates those problems.
Note that most price guides give retail prices, not what you can expect on a sale to a dealer, which would be significantly less.
State laws vary, but I don't know of any state that requires registration of that type of rifle (maybe CA?); the dealer should know.
