Came across a pair of 23-d bolt action Savage rifle. Decent shape, bore pristine. One in 22 hornet, the other in 25-20. The Hornet has a few extra holes in the top for scope mount bases and no open sights.
Wondering what they are worth?
Thanks

Original finish, no extra holes, un-Bubba'ed nice collector condition $500-600.
Refinished, extra holes, farmer grade utility guns half that.
Mine is a .32-20.

I'm just guessing but I'd say probably $300 each at least. I've only handled them at gunshows, but they are neat.

I think this is spot on. I have one in .25-20 that would have no collector value, but it's a fun rifle.Quote:

I'd have to agree with Texas .... but prices are not normal at the moment. Mine is a 22 Hornet and I love/hate it. Excellent accuracy - poor feeding.

Pretty sure the .22 WMR didn't exist when the 23D was in production. And yes, pre-WWII .22 Hornets are supposed to have .223 bores, I seriously doubt even jacketed .224 bullets would cause a problem with an otherwise safe load.Quote:

$300 on the 25-20 and $400 on the 22 hornet. If it was a 32-20 probably would have nabbed it.
I have one in 25-20. Very accurate.
I think I paid about $300. 15 years ago. Make sure they come with the magazine as those are hard to find. I have never had a feeding problem with either cast or J's
Went back to the LGS and it was already sold:(. Not only that, but they had 3 Ruger #1's on the shelf when I was looking at the Savage and they were all gone too!!
