Hi. l just want to know the 1993 MSRP of a NEW Remington 40X KS single shot Rifle in 223Rem.
l only want to know what the gun cost NEW in 1993. Not interested in gun value.
Looked all over the net, Tried Snopes and Duck Duck Go. No help. All l want is a Dollar NUMBER!
Thanks

Bad news: I can't seem to find that exact model of gun in that exact caliber in order to find its price at the time.
But! Good news! I found a gun trader's guide published in 1993 that has a bunch of similar models! I have no idea which of these is the exact gun you're looking for the price on, so here's everything they had about a "Model 40X Remington":
Hopefully you'll be able to ID it from this list, if it's even there in the first place. The book I got this from is called "Gun Trader's Guide" by Paul Wahl, 16th edition, published in 1993.

Mighty fine detective work there.
From the box: ''MODEL 40XB KS VARMINT SPECIAL''
''BOLT ACTION TARGET RIFLE KEVLAR STOCK''
''223 REM CAL''
Right side of label: ser # ''060xxxx B''
'' catalog 5991''
thank you again 458
Now, After 30yrs l finally got my retirement GUN.
The question IS: What was MSRP for a Model 40XB from Remington in 1993?

Ah, exact MSRP might be harder to find but at least the book I posted above says it was valued to sell at $785.00 in 1993 for that particular model of rifle. I don't think that's MSRP though. I'm going to go through some online archives to see if I can find an old gun store pamphlet or sale flyer with that gun, dated for 1993. Here I go.
Oh wait, nevermind. Went back to that book to check how it determines price and found this:
So it turns out these ARE the retail prices for those guns in 1993. Well, there's your answer! A Model 40-XB Varmint Special Rifle used to cost $785 in 1993.
MODEL 40XB KS show up at 905. Don
Thanks DON. $905 is a bunch cheaper than a $17000 gunite pool or a $100K divorce. But, that's the price of freedom. Govt retirement ck is still coming.
