No, the only shotgun gauges that the Savage 24s were chambered in were .410, 20, and 12.

Rifle barrels were chambered in 17 HMR, 22LR, 22MAG, 22 Hornet, 222, 223, 30-30, 357 MAG, and 357 MAX.

I still have them in 22MAG/410, 22LR/20, 22MAG/20, 222/20(x2), and 223/20.

The 22MAG/410 is one of my favorite woods loafing firearms, it shoots Brenneke slugs with surprising accuracy. I wouldn't shoot medium game with them, but coyotes and other animals of like sizes would be fair game.

I have seen a 24V in 222 rechambered to 225 WIN, but that looked like a potentially dangerous conversion to me. Bearrr264 talked about rechambering a 357 MAG to 356 WIN, a conversion that looked extremely dangerous to me.

There used to be a really good review of the Savsge 24s on the Tech Notes section of the Beartooth Bullets site written by a guy named Marshall Stanton. He claimed to favor the 30-30AI.
