Value

Real value 250 to 350 or so depending on condition. But because in today's instant gratification world no-one can be patient enough for sellers to come to their senses you see them listed, and people paying, up to 400 to 450 or even more.

Ive been looking for awhile and would be all over one for 250-350 . Problem is I never see renegades in person only hawkens . Bought a very nice .45 Cherokee recently . First one I ever seen . thanks

There's a Renegade Hunter on GB. I think the starting bid is like $350 iirc. Looks like it's in great shape.

It may come to buying off GB and I'm ok with that for the right price . Probably find a better deal after deer season is over . FBC

I don't really want a single trigger though .

It's all about when and where you find them. I've paid as little as $80 to over $350 for nice ones, that's about my upper limit. Earlier this year I bought one at an auction for $220 in brand new condition, with the manual and warranty card still zip tied to the trigger guard.

The deals are out there, and they tend to be better right after deer season. It used to be that you could always find deals after deer season because people would buy them new and not get into muzzleloading like they thought, but since T/C quit making the sidelocks you don't see as many of those deals anymore.

You'll see some deals at online auctions, but be very careful with those. I've seen several that looked great on the outside, had only been shot once, and had completely ruined bores. It only takes one time of not cleaning it.

I just purchased a lightly used renagade for $300. I found it on gun broker. It was for sale by a local shop so I picked it up and saved on shipping so with tax $330 out the door.

Bubba, do pre warning rifles sell for higher prices on average ? Thanks

Ferry Boat Captain, please check your PM's for a way to get what you want.


Failing that, IMO the best way to locate one would be to take a road trip to look at the used gunracks in funshops, especially ones that have a rack of guns that have had several birthdays there.

IME, many shops that cater to younger folks who prefer a modern gun to a sidelock regard sidelocks as not desireable, and usually price them low.

If I don't find any displayed, I ALWAYS ask if they have any that aren't on display.

Thas is how I was able to buy this pristine .45 T/C Seneca for less than $100

( top, below - with my .36 Seneca)

Jumping in here just to offer my green with envy congratulations on that purchase!

As to the original question, I think it's getting tougher and tougher to find these old TCs in nice condition for under $300-$350 any more. I was fortunate to pick up a New Englander and a PA Hunter at an auction last month paying $225 and $200 respectively. And I feel that I got a great deal on both of them.

I jumped in and bid on a penny auction on GB last spring for an excellent condition Hawken. I bowed out at $350. If my memory serves it sold for over $500. Yeah, the majority of front stuffer hunters seem to be gravitating toward the unmentionables, but it's apparent that those of us who still prefer traditional and appreciate those old TCs are willing to pay good money for them.

I'd like a Renegade 54 myself to add to my small but growing collection....as well as a Seneca 45

 

[Bert621]

Nice clean shooters are worth $300-350 around here. Freight seems to be going up big time though on the online sales, $40-50 in conus

 

[BP Addict]

I've sold them on Gunbroker in nice condition for $450. That includes free shipping and insurance.

Hope this helps!

There are several on GB now. I won't bid on any BP rifle if the seller doesn't have a good clear picture of the inside of the bore. Most are using fishing bobber lights to drop down the bore and they show the condition of the bore. I bought 4 of those bobber lights and have used them myself to show bore condition.

I sold a 50 Renegade about a year ago. It had a rough stock when I got so I cleaned it up and refinished it. The bore was perfect. The reason I sold it was because the comb on the stock felt so high to me I couldn't get my face low enough to easily see the sights. I didn't say anything about that and let my bud shoot the gun and then he said the same thing. So it wasn't just me. Or maybe it was just me. I don't have a big boxy head or a fat face either. You may want to shoulder one before you buy one.

Those are rugged guns and I like that they don't have the glitz and flash or brass fittings. And the barrel is thick enough that you can have them bored to a bigger caliber if you want. One in .58 caliber would be a real thumper if you hunt big animals in the woolly woods.

Hmmm… wouldn’t that be taken to mean that the real value is within the range of $250-450 dollars? Essentially, any rifle will “worth wha a buyer will pay for it.
