I think its a pretty good deal.Check the magazine to see if it's original or aftermarket.The original one has a knurled handle on the bottom and has Savage stamped on it.The aftermarket has no markings.The original magazine sells from anywhere from $45.00-$85.00 + depending who is selling it.The aftermarket sells for less than $35.00.If it comes with the original I would jump on it.If it has the aftermarket,I would haggle a bit.These are very good shooting rifles.

P.S. How's the mag?

The mag works fine in my 1922 but not in my 19 - go figure.

The magazine for the 23aa is different from the others. you can get those for $10 or so and they don't have a knob on the bottom.

From an old Stoeger catalogue (not dated but probably from right after WWII).

A Model 19 target was $33.40 with 19-M $41.75.
A model 23AA was $27.75.
A model 3 was $6.25 and model 4 was $12.25.

Helps explain why the 19 and 23 are such good shooters - they were high end, expensive guns compared to the standard #3 and 4.

My 23AA is one of my favorite open sighted, offhand guns for shooting.

Search here for 23AA, lots of info and posts.
