i need a little help here

i have a fella that wants to sell a remington 22-250 varmint and the problem is he doesnt know what he wants for it ( anesthesia doc) he has enough money to burn wet mule and he buys the best so i believe the gun to be in great shape and shot less than 100 rounds - he bought it worked up a load and put it up - says he doesnt shoot it and wants someone to have it that will use it lol well that person would happen to be me in a big way - all i know about the gun is i know it has a 40x receiver and has a nice leupold on it - i will not price it for him so he told me around 1200 or 1500 exact words there- well first i have to make sure the scope comes with it and if it doesnt i have a scope to put on it but my question is -- what is a GOOD or fair price for the gun alone and for the gun and scope - i feel sure with his money its either a fixed 24 or 36 or a 6.5x20 leupold - either way i need to know what the gun itself is worth at a good price - if its terribly high then i would just as soon have one of the short tactical rifles like the 223 i have that shoots so well - i know the 40x is supposed to be great - never owned one but i sure would like to have this one but i dont want to go overboard just because of the receiver- he says it shoots great and is going to let me keep it for a few weeks and i can let him know - i will post exactly what it is when i get it but if someone can give me a rough idea about price and the 40x if its worth the extra - thats what i need to know thanks scoot
