I have a near new 23B with the plain forend that must be a late one. Bought it years ago from a shop in Middlebury, VT. It was fitted with scope blocks when I got it. One of my favorites.
If you buy it, make sure it comes with at least one Savage-marked magazine. They are harder to find than the rifles and the non-Savage aftermarket ones don't always work.
$400 plus ammo would be a good price here in Southern CA if the rifle is in good shape. (Ammo is over $50 a box).
