Welcome to the forum. About 10 years ago a person could pick up one of these for 300. It seems they have almost doubled since then. Even more for the more rare calibers.

depends on where you are located. $300 to $400 is a common price. This is an early model so maybe a bit more. Rural areas tend to get higher prices because these are good farm guns.

Right now in or around north Georgia, that gun in that condition and in those chamberings will bring 7 to 800 dollars in a heart beat at any gun show or from an informed buyer. I have seen them go for as much as 1100 dollars, but that guy was a serious collector and needed it to complete his collection. Collectors are running up the prices on those guns everywhere. NOBODY uses a gun like that around the farm anymore because there are MANY others that will work for that purpose and at a much LOWER price. They were once common around farms 50 or 60 years ago, but when Savage quit making them, the COLLECTORS started buying them up and they are becoming much more difficult to find, especially in the condition that one is in. If anyone offers 3 or 400 dollars for it, just smile and say thanks but no thanks. DO NOT Take it to a pawn shop or local gun store because they will try to steal it saying it is an old gun that nobody wants anymore. Take it somewhere informed buyers or collectors will pay a fair price for it or post it on Guns America or Guns International (or both places) and you'll get a better price for it. I'd buy it in a New York minute but for the fact I already have one just like it, but not quite in as good condition as that one is. The finish is a little thin on the color case receiver on mine. I also have four others in different chamberings and use that gun in 20 gage as my favorite turkey gun of all time.
