I suppose the other thing to consider is the difference between what people list for & what things will actually sell for. Not necessarily the same thing. Although in saying that, I pocketed $1400 for my near new Savage 16 .270 recently. But that was for the whole caboodle- suppressed, good quality optics, several boxes of ammo, bipod, case, sling, cleaning kit etc. Second hand rifle with basic optics wouldn't be worth a grand.
Shot well, & alongside a T3 I do rate the Savage 16s. Bought mine brand new & it shot sub MOA first time out of the box with both SSTs & PPU. Mine was accustocked. Basically same price as a T3 new. I do like the floorplate mag rather than a detachable box too. Pretty hardy too- mine survived a fall that left me with 2 fractured vertebrae & all it sustained was a tiny scratch a couple of mills long.
