B-Square is NDNT so it won't effect value much. If he has the original rear-sight, pivot pin & pivot pin cross pin (so it can be returned 100% to MilSpec, then that would add $50~75 to the asking price.

Savages are not "rare", or "collectable". In fact they were far & away the most common of the No4Mk1*'s made. Savage made more No4 Mk1*'s than all other factories combined.

If it had been a No4 Mk1 (no *) then it is rarer as they didn't make that many before switching over.

I'd not go a pile of money just because the B-Square is ok, but not great & likewise the Bushnell. I'd guess, not having seen it, or checked anything on it about $350 in today's whacky marketplace.
