Re: Global Rifle price differences
Interesting topic, Bryan. Regulation and economy of scale will probably dictate the supply and demand on most firearms. Shipping costs, etc. are subsidiary to these factors.

The Cabelas’ Remington 700 Varmint is the ADL version for $450 USD. This is the super budget version with poor stock, with a $50 discount.

A more standard model would be the Remington Model 700 SPS Varmint Bolt-Action Rifle for $719 USD or the stainless steel SPS for $919 USD. This latter has a fluted barrel, which my custom gunsmiths here at ScoreHigh frown upon as unnaturally deforming the bore.

Bryan, I would be interested in comparing the international prices of the 700 SPS Varmint here for $719 USD.

BTW, my 700 Sendero came with a monster tool gouge of the crown straight from the factory. Caveat emptor with today’s Remington quality control. I was replacing the barrel anyway so it was no inconvenience, but . . .

I am currently doing my best to avoid a M700 SPS 7MM Mag a local shop has for $829 CAD.

Okay, guys, then let's do best price in USA of the Remington 700 SPS SS 7mm Mag, Stainless Steel.

This is for sale on Bud's Gun Shop online for $616 USD, cash discount price.
https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/97271/Remington+700+SPS+SS+7mm+Mag%2C+Stainless+Steel

Note: Bud's can be real dicks if you want a refund or return or anything out of the ordinary, a very "fuck off" ethos, but if you stick with the program you can get fine prices, currently no taxes, and quick and usually free shipping. They also have a very simple 90-day layaway program with 20% down.

Using XE.com, I calculate this $616 USD price is about:

526 EUR
466 GBP
809 CAD
832 AUD
910 NZD

So, what does this specific firearm go for in your neighborhood?

Sorry. In the interest of wider firearm data, the rifle I have quoted above is NOT the previously mentioned Varmint-barreled Remington 700 SPS.

It is a specific model as noted in the Bud's link.

SPS blue Varmint locally with no deal is $1325 AUD here in Victoria, Australia so $980 odd US

More than the USA Cabela's price $719 USD, but within spitting distance. Not double.

Hi Everyone,

In South Africa, the rifle in the link (in different caliber) is currently sale for ZAR 11 500 from Safari and Outdoor. They are the biggest firearm shop in the Western cape region and perhaps the country.

The varmint barrel is closer to ZAR 18 500.

So that would be USD 872 for the SPS and USD 1402 for the Varmint

Re: Global Rifle price differences
Well, I have just traded a big bunch of computer work for this new rifle:

Remington 700 SENDERO SFII 25-06 26"

in stainless, with an equivalent cost of $1100 USD here locally.

Now I am not really interested in another 25-06, but have plans to replace the barrel, etc. to make this a 35 Whelen AI.

This is going to take awhile before I can come up with the scratch for blueprinting and rebarreling, but Nathan has given me a hunger to try this round. Big thanks to his writings and videos for keeping me engaged in a fascinating endeavor. Kudos, Nathan.
