Only one way to find out. Buy it and try it.

I noticed that there are no photos of the bores. Also, I went to the individual pictures and clicked on the box in the upper corner to enlarge the photos and saw a lot of pitting and chewed up screws on the receiver. Looks to me like it has been submerged at one time. griffy

Submerged? Then it's a terrible deal! Good thing I'm not in the market for one!

Don't feel bad. I paid $350 for an S-D. I pretty much doubled the price with repairs and mods. I bought a $500 pistol and spent $300 on a trigger kit, night sights and a laser (which didn't work out). Messing with guns is fun. You learn a lot, and it keeps you busy. If you want a project gun, it helps if it is cheap.

Probably the most I've ever spent was to buy a used Ruger 10-22 ($95) and then buy trigger kit, barrel, new stock, scope/mounts, Aimpoint, another stock, magazines, magazine loader and so on. I'll bet I've got more than $500-$600 in that thing. So yeah, I'm what John Barsness calls a gun loony (in a good way).

I realize this is an older post and that this gun has been sold, but just thought I'd add my two cents worth. I have one of the same models in .22LR/.410. Admittedly, I bought it a few years ago, but only paid $75 for it. Hold up! Before I'm accused of stealing the gun, let me describe the condition. First, there was pretty much overall pitting, with very little of the original finish on the barrel or frame. Both the buttstock and forearm had been replaced and it had one broken firing pin. A replacement firing pin came with the gun. Both bores were in good condition. It functions fine, but looks like crap!
I post this to stress the point that just because it's a Savage 24 (I own nine in various calibers and gauge combinations) dosen't mean it's automatically worth X number of dollars. An all original 1957 Chevrolet, with 38,000 original miles, with excellent paint and interior, no damage and excellent overall condition, may be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. A 1957 Chevrolet that has been parked in the weeds for the last 50 years, that's rusted out, bad interior, and questionable engine, may only be worth a few thousand dollars. Both are 1957 Chevrolets, but both aren't worth the same money. The same principle applies to the value of Savage 24s... at least it does for any I'm buying. Buying? Don't pay too much for a Savage 24, just because it's a Savage 24. Selling? Get all your Savage 24 is worth, based on it being a Savage 24... and the condition it's in, relative to mint condition. Not all 1957 Chevrolets are "collector" quality and not all Savage 24s are "collector" quality either. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Savage 24s are my favorite, but I own a few other guns of various manufactures, calibers, gauges, and configurations. I feel guns can be a good investment... if you don't pay too much for them initially. Don't be a sucker!

I bought a semi auto shotgun last month, just beat to heck. I paid $300 more for it than I did for the brand new one I bought years before. We do dumb things with our hearts (sometimes other parts), instead of our brains.
