I have an old Remington 788 chambered in .308 I bought at Gibsons in 1972. I havent fired it in 20 years, I think I paid $110 for it. Are they worth much. I do know at gun shows 788s in certain calibers bring 600-700 dollars.

Fantastic rifle. Don't sell it for less than $600.00
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I have a carbine in .243. Great rifle. If you do sell it, it'll go fast.

Just pillared and bedded one for a friend. And boy did it need it!
1/32" of slack between the recoil lug, and the stock recess. After that, and a barrel cleaning, it put two inside 3/4" at 100 yards. Third shot it will sling low left, due to heat. But, as a hunting rifle, two is plenty.

The most valuable calibers are…
30/30
44 mag
Those should bring $1000 plus if they’re clean
If yours is clean it should bring $600

$110 sounds fair to me. When can we meet up?

Mighty fine guns as far as I’m concerned. My 223 is is arguably the most accurate rifle I own and it’s 100% stock from the factory. My dad has 243 (not a carbine) the accounted for many a hill country deer when I was a young kid and his 22-250 shoots great as well. I think the $600 mark is on the light end of what it’s worth if it’s clean.
