Looking for a Savage Model 24 over/under combination gun. Wondering if there is anything specific I should be looking at when purchasing one, any known problems?
Any information would be appreciated. Thanks for the help.
The combo guns with soldered barrels are reputed to shoot good groups, at least for the first few shots. My 24DL .22WRM/.410 3" will shoot .22 WRM or .410 Brenneke Silver Bear slugs to consistent POIs at 50 yds and 30 yds respectively for the first few shots. As mentioned above, the rimfire barrel is not regulated with the shotgun barrel so each has it's own POI.
How I deal with the two different POIs is with a scope. The scope has a tic marked duplex reticle. The center of the duplex is zeroed for the .22WRM whereas the shotgun slug zero is a co-ordinate within the reticle grid.
