I have a 22/20 and CB caps shoot 1 inch to 25 yds. Very quiet. Haven't put a scope on b/c of the 20 ga recoil. Mine shoots slugs to the same point of aim to abt 50 yd so it is a multi-purpose small game deer gun. Great fun.

Come on! I passed up a couple more fox squirrels this afternoon. I've decided to not kill anymore unless I see one in a color phase I don't have. I have four on the wall now (much to my wife's dismay) and this recent one is the same color as the one I mounted last year, only bigger. This one will go on the wall at the gun shop I work in. I would love to kill a white, or mostly white one and a buddy said he saw a red one that was the color of a red fox. Would plug him if I saw him.

I've got three 24s (the .22LR/.410, .22WMR/20ga, .357 Maximum/20ga) and all of them have stiff trigger pulls. They are all relatively heavy but at least they are crisp so I don't complain too much. Where did you find the .357 Max? I have a M24 in .223/12GA, which I like quite a bit. I also have a Baikal M94 in the same caliber combo, which I actually like more, mostly because it shoots more types of .223 better (twist rate). It is rather rougher than the Savage, taking three men and a boy to break open and close until worn in, but much easier to locate for sale (Bud's Gunshop has them). I am looking to get a .22LR/.410 Baikal soon, mostly for the squirrel hunting aspects. I would love to find a .357 Max combo.

I bought it in the Gun List back in the late '80s. I'm pretty sure they were made only for a short time in '83 or so. I have never actually seen another one and I suspect the Max is the rarest caliber in the 24. I load a 180 gr XTP to about 2000 fps in it and killed a doe with it a few years ago.

I love the .357 Max. I have a Contender with a 10" .357 Mag barrel that I had rechambered to the Max, and it pushes 180 gr JHP to 1650 f/s. Haven't shot any deer with it yet, but a couple of hogs have expired rapidly when shot with it. Looking to get a Contender/Encore 23" barrel in Max one of these days. If you ever want to sell the Max...

I have a CZ Model 584 in 12 gauge over 7x65R. I have been looking for the 22 2r rifle insert for years that would make this gun the cats meow. If you know of any inserts that someone us will to part with, I would love to hear about it!!! Thanks and good hunting.

I had every intention of buying one of those and kept putting it off until they stopped importing them. Story of my life... Have you contacted CZ-USA about the inserts? Even after they stopped importing the 584, I emailed them to see if scope mounts were obtainable, just in case I found one (never did), and they said they could probably arrange to have mounts sent over from Europe. Might be worth a call if you haven't asked.

I've owned 3 M24's. Two 22/20ga. the deluxe models that I've since sold ( regret) and an old 22/410 that was my Granpa's that I still own. They're great little guns!

Those little 24's are great squirrel and rabbit guns! My first gun was a model 24 in .22/.410 that Dad bought used in 1966 for me. I've still got it and a .22M/20 gauge and like you I'm having trouble with the sights these days and I've been thinking about scoping them.
I was concerned that the groove type mounts wouldn't stand up the recoil on the 20 gauge though. What mounts did you use on yours and anyone who has scoped a 20 ga., Any problems with the mounts slipping?

Anyone have a favored type of scope mount that holds up to the recoil of the shotgun barrel?
