Do you guys think tradin a Remington 700 for a Trijicon ACOG 4x32 is a good trade? It has all the raised lettering, larue mount and it came from a guy in the military has the horse shoe recticle

Run the serial number past Trijicon first. They won’t warranty or even service ACOGs that originate from MIL orders unless you are .mil yourself.
Really? Well that’s handy for sure

Is it a basic 700, or one of the more expensive models? If it’s a basic model then jump all over it. When you call Trijicon make sure to ask them the year of manufacture. Tritium has a 12 year shelf life, and last I checked Trijicon charges around $500 to replace the tritium.
It’s a 700 police edition.308

In my area that rifle would bring about $500 to $600 on the used market. If the ACOG is legit and in good shape it could bring between $500 to $1400 depending on what model it is and its age.
He says his buddy in the military had it when he got out but if it was issued too the military then it wouldn’t be warrentied

Then don’t bother. That scope is stolen government property and Trijicon will report it to C.I.D. or N.C.I.S. if you call.
That’s what I was worried about

That’s why I’m bein cautious big time

That’s funny because I manage a lgs, and I called Trijicon just two weeks ago to verify the authenticity and date of manufacture of two ACOGs that a customer brought in to sell on consignment. Trijicon’s technical support was more than willing to help me.
Sound like legal speak/mumbojumbo. Trijjicon answered my question regarding a scope mount purchased using walmarts market place. The pruduct is marked by the mfgr of the mount not trijjicon. They assured me the mount codes and info matched what it should. I said good enough, mounted it a couple years ago. Its still great.
I have seen many “used accog” on ebay. I really dont trust the legitimacy of a quality scope for a whole $150

I would stay away from that deal only because the ACOG offered to you very well may be stolen from our military. Not sure how Trijicon would react if you call and give them information from equipment they supplied on a govt. contract.
If you really want an AGOC, I would suggest you save money until you are able to buy a brand new one that you know for sure wasn’t stolen.
If that is a PSS then the stock is definitely not the standard SPS stock (shitty plastic stock) that flexes all over the place, PSS’s have a McMillan stock. Both my mid 90’s PSS shoot pretty good with the factory McMillan stock, but I have moved them around in different clothes (magpul, XLR, KRG) a few times. Currently they are both back to the original stock now.
It’s an HS precision but I’d like too change it too a Walnut m40 style

No horse shoe reticle in the MIL as far as I know, which may not be much.
Stolen or not, you want to know how old the tritium is. I’d call Trijicon for the date of mfg and the remaining warranty on its illumination. They will tell you who it was sold to, date of mfg, service history etc.
I personally would not trade the rifle for the acog. But I have a number of each.
