Thank you for checking back in on my question. Probably a '64 then because the selector on mine is on the hammer. I traded a buddy a rusted single snowmobile trailer for it back in the '70's. It came with a #24 Williams receiver sight on it which about doubles the sighting radius and sits low enough to still use the factory front sight. Thinking that a .22 WMR/3" 20 gauge wouldn't be enough for a coyote, I thought that I might like a 24V in a Hornet or .223/12 gauge until I lifted one at a gun show. Some heavier than the rimfire 24's. Slugs and the .22 WMR rounds hit within a couple inches of one another at 50 yards, so I like that 24H-DL for a possible do all rambling around rifle. I do wonder why Savage quit making them?
