Should I make this trade......

I have a Ruger M77 Compact in 7mm-08. Wood stock, blued, Simmons 3x9. I bought it 12-15 yrs ago for my sons. They both killed their 1st deer with it. They have outgrown it. Last time 1 of them shot it the scope got him. The scope can be moved forward and/or a thicker recoil pad put on it. It is a HANDY gun to carry in thick Mississippi woods. I finally took it this morning to my LGS to see about a recoil pad and moving the scope. Turns out the owner really wants this gun for his 2nd grandson.
He kept asking me what I wanted for it. Finally I told him I'd trade it for the 2 HiPoint Carbines he has in stock. 1 is a used 9mm with an extra 20 rd mag. He sold this one brand new and the guy traded it for a .22 for his kid. Price tag right now is $225. The 2nd is a new 10mm($349). He'll also throw in a box of 9 & 10mm ammo. I also think I can keep the scope. I was kinda joking when I said it but he wants this Ruger. This Ruger hasn't been shot in 10 yrs and I would kinda like to have a pistol carbine. I don't have grandkids(yet). And I can always buy another rifle. Although I do have 2 30-30's in the safe now.
So, what do y'all think? Is the Ruger worth 2 Hi Point pistol carbines?
