I'd go as high as $500 for the .44 Ruger, as they're getting harder to find. The scope doesn't really add any value to the rifle, so you'd just be giving it away. You might as well keep it for one of you other rifles or try to sell it separately. I think 9.3 Mauser pretty much nailed it on the Savage and the 94.
 
The double barrel is around $275.00. You didn't state the combo of the 24C so around $450.00 give or take depending on the combo and not sure on the other shotgun but likely around $325.00.
 
The key thing to remember here, is there are a lot of guys who are helpful, and also a bunch who will try to low ball or poach a great deal before you really know the value. The model 24 and the Ruger will potentially fetch decent money. I'd bet if you put the Ruger for $700, it would be gone that day. You can always lower your price, but you can never raise it.....
 
If it was me ... I would start on the high side if I was in no hurry and see what the offers look like. If you dont like them you dont have to sell - generally firearms appreciate. Just dont be ridiculous. However most importantly I would also provide clear detailed pictures and as exact a description as I could in order that buyers know exactly the condition of the firearms. Unless it is rare or highly desirable - a beater is a beater and is valued accordingly. It is really annoying when a seller declares a rifle in "excellent condition" - and provides unsharp pictures - and you discover after you've paid that the bluing is mottled and worn, screws are missing, the stock doesnt fit properly, bottom metal is badly scratched and there is surface pitting on sections of the barrel. There is a special reserved place in Hell for those guys!
 
The two that will sell quick at a good value are the Savage 24 (caliber/gauge?)... you will get $550; for it... and the Ruger .44, it will net you $600-650... and both will sell fast... the others are $2-300 guns and few will be clamoring for them.
