Buyer Tips: Find the Right Fit

  • Define the purpose. Hunting, range, training, or home use—your goal guides caliber and platform.
  • Check ergonomics. Grip, length of pull, trigger reach, and sight picture should feel natural.
  • Inspect condition. Look at bore, crown, finish, controls, and optic mounts.
  • Plan for storage. Ask about safes/locks and safe-handling resources.
  • Know the rules. Bring valid ID and be prepared to complete all required forms and checks.

Seller Tips: Maximize Your Cash Offer

  • Bring completeness. Box, manuals, factory mags, chokes, plates, tools*, and any included accessories help value.

  • Clean & verify. A light cleaning and function check (unloaded) helps evaluation go quickly.
  • Be transparent. Share any upgrades or known issues so we can price accurately.
