A dealer has a new Marlin 45/70 Guide gun in stainless which is new.I have the gun in blue and has been shot about 50 times and in real good condition.

He says he will trade with me.What would be a reasonable amount to
give for boot on the trade? I just want a ballpark figure because by not seeing my gun,there is not enough info to come up with an exact figure.Thanks.

When I bought mine the stainless was not available.

  According to the latest blue book, the blued guide gun has a MSR of $631 and the stainless has a MSR of $744. If your blued gun is in excellent condition, no scratches, nicks, marks, etc..., it is listed at $365....

  4wheeler around my area the stainless guns are going for about $80 - 100 higher than the blued ones so I would guess you would have a trade difference of about $150 to maybe as high as $200 being as your rifle is used , you should do better by selling your rifle yourself and them buying the stainless one
