    A lot of factors usually determine the value of factory takeoff barrels. Their doesn't seem to be any hard and fast rule.
    It depends on the barrel material, contour, popularity at the moment, whether it's an individual or retailer, etc etc...
    The classifieds here are about the best gauge I know of to determine what they'll bring. Those that are priced right sell. Those that may be priced a little high or the features aren't as desirable sit at asking price. You can check the retailers (site sponsors) who are usually a little higher than an individual but remember they have the associated costs of any business to cover.
    Good luck.

    Takeoffs are usually $100 or thereabouts. A heavy, long barrel in .260, with no rounds through it, would possibly get $200 tops. That's all excellent condition. If the condition is actually what's rated "good," cut those prices in half. Hopefully others will weight in and provide additional info to use for averaging.

    Think you're a little high JK. I dont think I've ever paid quite that much for a sporter or a varmint.
    But as I stated no hard and fast rules.
    What my old man used to tell me about buying and selling old cars comes to mind.
    They are worth what the man with the want and the money is willing to pay when you're ready to sell.
    I'd check some of the site sponsors prices that sell takeoffs like NSS for instance.

    New, take-off sporter factory barrels usually end up selling for $85 - $100 in the calibers you listed. A new, take-off factory heavy to varmint barrel in those calibers usually sell for $150.00 or less. It recently took me 4 weeks to sell a 12FV 26" factory varmint barrel in .204 Ruger. Started at $150.00 and I did not get any bids, just lookers until it was marked down to $100.00. Was a time where a .260 barrel was a hot selling item. The 6.5 Creedmoor barrel appears to be the current rage.

    I have sold two.

    Pencil 30-06 in 18 inch I got $80 for.

    Varmint Profile 308 in 26 inch I got $125 for.

    Both took some time to sell.

    The one buyer was rightly worried about condition (how much use)
    By a pure quirk he was through my city and he was able to look at it.

    My feeling is $75 to $100 normally.

    Don't be afraid of a prefit. Some can be had for something like 200. A lapped barrel is the better option
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    Good question, what are you trying to do?

    Pre fits from a number of mfgs are better overall and clean up and copper coating wise, if its one of the ones that does a good cleanup (lapping) on the rifling.
