I am wondering about the approximate value of the guns listed below. I live in Iowa, what could I expect to sell them for? Also, where are some places in Iowa or Eastern Nebraska that are interested in buying guns?

Winchester with scope Model 100 Caliber 284
Savage Lever Action Model 99c Series A Caliber 243
Remington Arms 12 gaue automatic shotgun Model 11
Remington 22 Long Rifle 22 Caliber

    Does anyone have any experience with a
    Taurus Tracker Titanium in 357.
    I'm looking at one for $450.
    Any comments at all.
    Thank-Ron

    Personally, I wouldn't pay $450 for a Taurus wheelgun (period).

    IMO titanium in a wheelgun is mostly a gimmick, explaining (in part) why Smith and Wesson no longer makes titanium guns after a few years of doing so. Here are a few more of my thoughts on this issue specifically:

    forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=375987
    forums.gunbroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=546838

    Taurus revolvers in particular are also know for variable quality control and (in some cases) antiquated design of the ejection system.

    $450 will buy you a quite nice all steel Smith and Wesson, which, bluntly, will probably outperform the Taurus in every way, plus appreciate in value faster.

    Personally, I don't see the need for a lightweight medium or large frame .357, but if I were after a gun like that, again, I'd look at the Smith 386 PD scandium frame gun.

    It would be an ok gun--for $300 or less. I own guns from both S&W and Taurus and the Taurus will never be worth as much as the Smith. I agree with bean that for $450 you could buy a nice used S&W or even a Ruger GP100. Lightweight titanium and scandium revolvers make lousy .357's to shoot because they recoil a lot more than their steel frame counterparts.

    Beantown you do not know what the hell you are talking about. you know nothing about Taurus.

    Taurus is the ONLY gun manufacturer to make everything at their own facility. From machines to dies to forging they make 100% of the parts and the machines that make the guns & parts. It take only takes Taurus 3mo. or less to put a model revision into production. And 6- 8mo. for a new model. And they are one of the only guns that have a transferable 100% warrantee. Smith and Wesson doesn't have or do that.

    The Ti guns are light. But the problem you are going to run into is their is more felt recoil. and that can be a pain in the A. or hand....LOL
    Taurus hold their resale value because of their warrantee. some like em some hate em like beantown (go figure) I would ask the guy or gal if you could shoot it first so you know if you are going to like it. who knows you may not like the felt recoil.

    Well, I agree.
    I just needed a kick in the butt
    to convince me.
    There are just no used 357 Smiths
    or Rugers around (Revolvers).
    They all vanished.
    Sign of the times maybe?
    I guess I'll have to lay
    down some serious dough,
    but a short grand just upsets
    my stomach.
    Thanks-Ron

    I'm on a wish list at Kittery
    trading post so I watch their
    used inventory hoping a decent
    357 will come in.
    The Taurus Titanium came in yesterday
    ($450) and is gone today.
    I see a pattern here.

    I have a 357 track, six inch barrel. Had it now for about six years, never any problems and is very accurate[:)]

    I carry a total titanium Taurus model 605 in .357mag. Carried it for 4+ years, and not the first issue.

    It does have quite the recoil, but that's to be expected out of a <1Lb handgun in that caliber.

    Say there big boy...you better recheck your facts and get back to us. Taurus is the only company who tries to copy other manufacturer's designs of very good firearms, and turns them into JUNK, with a capital J. They truly show about the quality of their expedited engineering revisions, and new models, as they only function about 50% of the time if you are lucky.

    As for the Trackeer Titanium for $450.00...save yourself a butt ache, and walk away. I don't know if I would even do it for half that, as they are hard to get rid of, after you get them.

    Best

    I bought a Taurus 94 equal to the S & W 34, the cylinders were so roughly machined I had to beat the fired rounds out. Davidson's took it back and refunded my money. If you buy a new S & W from them they have a lifetime warranty.
