Hello All,

Please pardon my noob question, I participate in other areas of the S&W forum, mostly having to do with M&P pistols and competition shooting. And I think it's painful every time some Joe writes one time asking 'is this a good price or not'...

So, I hate to be a hypocrite but that's my purpose of writing... I'm sincerely sorry if this is annoying to anyone...

The good news is I'd very much like to ioin this part of the S&W family, but I need to buy-in first, so to speak.

I have the opportunity to purchase a slightly used 15-22 from a local resident...

The rifle is a stock 811062 with 100rnds through it... Condition is excellent.

Asking price is around $600.

I can see MSRP is $520. I've never bought something over retailer cost; is this a 'fair' price or more of an inflated 'market price'?

I have no reason to think the seller is trying to turn a profit; I get the sense that he just wants something different or out of the 22LR rat-race we're all experiencing right now...

Any input or guidance would be very much appreciated... I can see on gunbroker right now there are two of these for 300 bucks, but the auctions aren't ending for a few days so that really doesn't tell the tale...

Thanks so much for any tenured advice, I really appreciate the experience...

Cheers,
Sal
