One general caution...
If there are any signs of looseness in the barrel to receiver connection when it is installed, pass on it.
Unlike the Winchesters, there is no mechanism for "taking up the slop" in a Savage once it gets loose, which it can do over time, especially if it is repeatedly assembled and reassembled.
It can be tightened by peening the barrel threads, but that isn't a long-term solution.
