Lol...Sell is where I'm leaning. I'd like to throw a few bucks into something else, a zombie iron-sight gun but most would end up in metal.
It's all costly when it comes to guns. My CZ Shadow 2 handgun is $2300 and my sniper rifle is $12K+. Dumb really, but cheaper than water skiing and owning the ski boat, or a drag car for instance.
That depends on the rifle and calibre, how desirable it is. Most competitive long range shooters moved away from the .308, myself included, and so they are not as desirable for competitive purposes, but to hunt sambar here one must have a minimum of 30-cal so many hunters want them. This lad is intending to use it for multi-purpose, probably more in the field so it's more interesting to him.
Generally though a rifle will loose money. I've broken even a few times though, if it is something not readily available, or if someone is impatient.
It'll help the lad out, and clears out something that doesn't get used at all. I'll pull in some cash too. More room in the safes mean...Room for something different. 😂

How well do they hold their value if kept in excellent condition, which I presume yours are?

Fair enough. Well yeah, might as well pass it along then if you don't use it much and have an eye on something else :)
