The value in these target rifles mustn't be compared to original out of-the-box ones, but as a tool-in-being for the sport. Thus the condition of the various parts directly relates to the purpose, the specific shooting sport it has been fine tuned for. With this in mind they would probably make perfect entry level or beginner equipment for that specific shooting sport, which has already been mentioned in this thread. If their origin could be determined, ie previous owners, it would be even better as it could be sold as "kjlkj" rifle that scored "ooii" at "oijoj" match/es.
