My first .22 Magnum was a 24DLM with a 20-gauge barrel. It was very accurate with the right load, probably because of the stiffness of the two barrels soldered together--unlike the cheaper 24's where the barrels are held together by brackets. Kinda wish I still had it, but gave it to one of my first wife's younger brothers decades ago....
