A couple years ago I bought an slb 2000 30 06 carbine new in the box. I scoped it up and was going to use it this year hunting whitetails. Should I shoot it or leave it unfired. Does anyone have a value on it . I bought it because I had never seen one and like the looks of it.thanks for the help
Welcome to the site.
Leave it unfired--- not many have sold within the past year--- in that condition, I would estimate $1,500.00-$2,000.00.
Here is an interesting successor--- the SR1:
