Nice info Andrew. This is David. I have the 22 over 20 ga, you checked/cleared it when i bought and brought to you for a once over inspection. Thx again.

I got a 24v in 30.30 / 20ga combo. Colour hard cased blueing on the receiver too. Excellent gun. Filled my freezer many times.

What I remember was the idea for the model 24 and the Ithaca LSA 55 Turkey Hunting Gun was intended for use Fall Turkey hunting. Where rifles were permitted for fall hunting seasons. The savage 24 was chambered for 22Lr, 22 WMR and 22 Hornet. I know the Ithaca model 55 was a 222 and 12-gauge gun. The idea of the rifle cartridge was using velocities below 2,000 feet per-second to reduce meat damage for table fair. The 22-WMR fit the criteria to a T. The 22 Hornet was the most popular cartridge for its accuracy and velocity combined with a 35-grain bullet. It was not unusual, to see Fall Turkey hunters carrying a shotgun along with a Hornet rifle. I never notice ever seeing a scope on the Savage or Ithaca. As far as seeing a scope failure, when it happens the scope flies towards the muzzle. I had that occur on a big bore rifle. The mounting screws shear off and the scope flies an amazing distance in front of you. I witness large front objective bell scopes shear off on scopes from long use with medium case cartridges. There is no indication when it happens, and the separation is a clean break. 😳😆🤣😂

I have a 24D with the satin silver receiver in 22 mag/20 gauge that my father bought me for Christmas in 1967 or 1968. He also bought my brother the same but in 22 long rifle. The stocks are walnut with a Monte Carlo, and the checkering is pressed, not cut. both originally had the side selector button for choosing the barrel to be fired, but both broke within a few years andwe had to replace the hammer with one that had the selector there. Apparently the was a common problem. Dad also got use Williams 5D receiver sights for them as the open sights were just your basic rear adjustable leaf and ramp front sight of some type. I did a lot of squirrel, rabbit, and grouse hunting with that (hitting a grouse with a full choke and peep sight was an extra challenge, to be sure.) I think I took that with slugs on my first (unsuccessful) deer hunt.

I’ve got a savage .22 over .410. Not sure what model it is. Helluva gun 👍

I currently own a savage 24, it’s 222 over 20ga.

Can I make a suggestion can you change background color and lighting, with black background and black shirt gun just blends in

Did these ever come with a 16 inch barrel? If not, what are the downsides of having a ratty example restored with a cut down barrel length?

16" would be an NFA issue with the shotgun barrel.
