Savage 24v 222/20 GA.
« on: January 19, 2012, 09:45:58 PM »
This was one of my favorite guns growing up, infact, I shot my first deer with this gun (a coues whitetail).  Does anyone have this model - what are your experiences with this gun, if you have it?   I would like to find this gun again.

I have a 24s in .22lr/20 configuration. One of my favorite guns and perfect for grouse hunting.

I've passed up a few and keep thinking about one.  I have a 30-30/20 that is superbly accurate with a Williams receiver sight and a 22/410 that is my most used gun on my homestead.

I had a 223/20ga that was a real beautiful rig quite accurate.  The only things I dislikeed about it were the hammer mountes selector. and that the scope had to be mounted high to clear the hammer so you could get your thumb in to cock it.  I sold it last month after picking up a nice Italian Combo gun(lighter, self cocking, dual trigger with set trigger for rifle, 12 ga).

I think the savage is a good gun if you can stil use open sights but if you need a scope look for something else. 


This one has turned out to be a great coyote getter in heavier cover.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I have a 22/20ga that I shot many a grouse with growing up. Would shoot them in the head with the 22 if they stood still...Blast them with the 20 if they were moving or flying! Great little gun. Matter fact, gotta get it in my safe...its at my dads house still.

It would be kinda cool to have one with the bigger rifle on it.

I have 24s in that was  .22lr/20ga. I had it reamed to a .22 Mag./20 Ga.. It is a great utility weapon.

I have an old 24 with the barrel selector on the side of the receiver.  22 Magnum/410 shotgun.  Bought it for $35.00 in 1966.  (eat yer hearts out!)  :chuckle:

I have the 24v-a, in .222/20GA.  I absolutley love that gun.  Got a sweet deal on it at a gun show a couple of years ago.  If I am going on a walk in the woods during grouse season, that is what I carry.  I tried the shotgun out at the trap range once and it worked pretty well for that too.
There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

I have the 22lr 20 ga and love it for bunnies and grouse... I REALLY would like a .223 12 ga for varmint hunting I might even go for a 30-30 12 ga

Having one with a 30-30 rifle barrel would be kinda cool since grouse and bear seasons largely overlap.

Do they make a 243/12 gauge model?
