Finances and a disabled wife mean I have to give up my dream of long range shooting, so this rifle will need a new home. So I have a Savage 12 FV that started life as a .223, but has since been rebarreled in 6.5 Creedmoor. It has a like new Criterion barrel, Rifle Basix trigger, B&C stock, in short, the only thing left that's still Savage is the action. Would I be better off selling it complete, or break it down and sell the parts? Appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Sorry to hear of your troubles David.
You should price the rifle like you would sell it in parts. Break it down only if all parts are sold or you may end up holding on to something.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.
I just went through this with a rifle. I tried to sell it complete on several different sites for a while with no takers.
I ended up parting it out. I sold the barrel and action on here, and the stock on ebay. It took a few weeks but I did eventually sell it all. You just have to be patient.
Parts usually bring more than custom builds.
parts sell faster
Thanks, guys, appreciate the responses. Guess I'll post the complete rifle first, then break it down if no interest. Later.
Dave
