I have been looking for a Savage short action for a while with no luck. Haven't seen one on gunbroker for a while and no good deals on used guns locally. I want to build a medium contour 24" barrel 223.

I am thinking maybe I should buy new and then sell what I don't need. Locally I can get the Hog Hunter with the threaded barrel for a good price. What would anyone estimate I could get for the takeoff 20" threaded barrel? Would anyone pay anything for the hog hunter stock?

Any advice or thoughts would be really appreciated.
