I guess that would primarily depend on who wants it and what they want to do with it.
The one advantage of the factory RUM chambered rifles is the longer action cutout and magazine that enables it to be used as a repeater with cartridges such as the .338 Edge instead of a single shot. The .300RUM is a beast that's too much for most anything smaller than a T rex unless it's downloaded or you find some factory "power level" ammo. It's also a powder hog making it pretty costly to shoot even if you handload.
I'm guessing it's an older flatback as most of the ones chambered in 300 ultra were, so unless it's a lefty (rare as hens teeth) or you have a specific need for a cannon I'd guess what a 116 flatback would bring should be about right. Maybe the upper end if you have a buyer wanting an edge project with the longer mag. (400ish, more for a lefty). Unfortunately bases and accessories (except quality scopes) don't typically add any value to used rifles and would probably be best sold separately as they will fit a long action Savage. A private sale would probably be best as pawn shop or gun shop may offer around $200. I did see one on the big auction site that went for $650 with an aftermarket stock but most of the completed auctions closed with no bids so as with anything it depends on the buyer.
I have a lefty 116 in the back of my safe that I picked up many years ago from a fella that said it was just too much gun. He was pretty much right and I'll never shoot another white tail with it. I haven't shot it for years but keep it around just in case of one of those pesky garden rhinoceros shows up or maybe I need to shoot something 4 counties away. Good in theory and versatile in theory with incredible ballistics numbers on paper but not real practical especially at full power Most of the fun stuff rarely is.
Good Luck BHJ
