To trade a luger or not ? for a REM.

Got a BYF code 42 Military Luger all matching Sn's and the period correct FXO mags and a nice black made in 43 flap holster with loading tool. A friend wants it bad and has a Remington model 740F premire grade 308 auto rifle that has gold inlay game scenes on it and is heavily ingraved, like new, no box. I can not tell if it has been fired. BB list this rifle NIB 8,000.00 I believe. 98% 6750.00 95% 4150.00 Made in 1959. But I know these rifles have a poor hunting rep. but this one is not per say a hunt model but more a collector piece. Now I know I can always sell this Luger for more than what I got in it, but the Remington's rep is not good, even though she dressed beautiful. I'm afraid I'll have a classy rifle that nobody will pony up the BB value on, even though it is worth more right now than my military luger. Someday down the road for my grandson's college education should I decide to sell. Which will be more sellable do you suppose and worth the most considering my luger is the most encountered model? I almost forgot my Luger rates 95% condition I would say. I've never shot it.
