"Blue Book of Gun Values: Twenty-Eighth Edition" Book By S.P. Fjestad.
This is the most recent published edition. And what most gun shops base their trade in value and new prices with in my area. If you advised exactly what it is you have I can look it up for you. I dont know of any reliable on line pricing guides.

I'd say bring it into a gun shop. You can look around on gunbroker.com too if you want, but keep a couple things in mind. First, you have to figure out which 700 it is, there's about, well, I don't even know how many variations over the years. 30? 40? Something like that. It's hard with pictures on the internet, but be aware of what kind of shape it's in. Also, unlike ebay, gunbroker has no initial auction fees (except in the form of options) and you can relist free forever, so maybe 95% of the auctions the people are kind of fishing and asking too much. On the other hand, there's a shipping fee and a transfer fee unless the buyer has a licence, so that's maybe $40-$50 too. If you see the exact gun selling for $350, the guys probably actually paying (after shipping and transer) like $400. But if some guy is asking $600 and not getting it and it's relisted 50 times, well it's probably not worth that much. Hope that helps.

It is difficult to appraise firearms without seeing them. What condition is it in? What caliber is it? Is it scoped and are you including the scope in its sale/value? Is it the ADL, BDL or other?
A Model 700 (say the BDL) in a popular standard caliber (.30-06, .270, .25-06, etc.) should bring between $250 in used but good condition to as much as about $400 in like new condition.
Magnum calibers (if the barrel isn't shot out) would increase the value by fifty or so dollars. The same for harder-to-find, good calibers like the .6mm Remington.
Best.

gunbroker.com will show you what they are selling for on the open market and will give you a better indication of the true value than any gun shop would.
I'm in the market for a similar rifle. Email me with the specs and I'll make you an offer (a fair offer based on gunbroker.com)
