Savage 24 - anyone have one?

[Koda]

As far as I know there is no direct eqivalent now aside from the Savage 42. It only comes in .22lr or .22 mag over .410 though.

Ugly as sin too

The 12 ga with high power rifle (.308, .30-06, .243) are rare.

That one doesn't appear to be a Valmet, but for a while Valmet did make some combos for Savage - without the ability to swap barrels. For a while I wanted a Valmet switch barrel combo - but they are expensive. Maybe someday I will trip over one of these for a reasonable price while I have the $ to spend.

this would the the ultimate do it all rifle.

Does anyone make an equivalent new anymore or are these old Savages alls that left of the idea?

The Chiappa Double Badger is a similar concept and looks a lot nicer than the Savage 42. I have the 22lr/20 ga Double Badger, shoots OK. I do wish it had a single trigger and external hammer though.

I had it in my head they stopped making those. Guess I am wrong.

Looks like they .243/.410 model but no MSRP listed. The others are over $500 for a .22lr model.

I can't believe I came across this blog! I have the 24. It was give to me as my first gun by my grandfather in the late 70's, .22 over 410 and the selector is on the hammer. It did not have a site on the barrel so he made one and he also did some adjustments on the trigger for me. He was a master at guns. He even loaded me buckshot for that thing. I killed so many squirrels with that thing and rabbits too. My father was furious because he believed girls had no business shooting guns, but what my father didn't know was that 24 was nothing. I had been shooting my grandfather's Colt 1911 for 2 years before I ever got that 24. I still have those first's in our gun safe. Mine was a great gun. I can't wait to see my grand-daughter with it.

I thought I owned one of every model, including the nickel 357 max until I saw someone has a 43/2? Really? I would like to see the barrel markings on that one.

Nice . Could you post a closeup of the barrel markings? I have never heard of this version.

Clarinets!

I have a 22/410 and a 222/20. 22/410 sits loaded in the front of the safe and the 222 has went missing as of late lol. With that caliber being somewhat pricey to shoot when you can find it I've let it get lost into the safe somewhere

 

[arakboss]

Tigard Pawn 4 More still has one. It is 22lr over 410.

I don't know if you're a reloader, but Starline has .222 Rem brass in stock on their website. I just received 250 cases a week ago.

 

[Spitpatch]

For years, my ONLY .222 was the Model 24. Of late, I seem to bump into them and now have a few. I got PPU brass not long ago without much trouble, and Starline really is picking up the ball and running with it on "weird stuff" like this.

I have that problem from time to time - I went looking for my Win '92 and after searching a lot, I found it buried under multiple handguns (in their cases) in its original box. I took it out, wiped it down with Ballistol, put it in a VCI bag, taped that up and then put it back in its box - not I am going to find which of my hard cases that will fit into.

I could see myself owning one of those.

I still want to find a .308/12ga one

A friend has one that's not a Savage. Baikal, maybe?
He figures it's a good "get home" gun.

Decent woods gun too. Not much game you can't get with it. Get you a Lee 12ga loader kit and a .308 loader kit and you can reload in the field too.
