What is the value of a 257 Roberts Remington 788?

Answer 1

It all starts with condition; i.e. bluing and stock finish etc. If everything is "as it left the factory" (i.e. no modifications to sights, stock, or metal) and is "as new" condition, the value would be $500-$600 to a Remington collector. If not, its value goes down dramatically from there, based on its condition. 257 Roberts is not a rare caliber in the 788 but it has a good "cult" following today and that would add maybe $50. to its value, as a "shooter", over some of the other common calibers. "shooter" 788s sell for between $250-$450, again depending on condition, condition, condition.
