Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds FS: Savage 24v 222 over 20 gauge

Anyone interested in a nice 222/20 Savage 24v? $475 Nice shape and I believe the serial reflects a mfg date of 1951. PM or mail me at chuck @ ridgewaybodies . com

have you shot it? How are the barrels regulated to POA?

Ohhhh....I used to drool over one of these when I was a tenny bopper.

I loved mine - and regretted selling it.

Shortened the barrels just above legal and it actually improved the regulation.

Best truck gun I ever had.

Buy it Braindead, and save me from having to do something desperate.

What is the choke on the 20 gauge?

Thinking this would be perfect for a fun turkey gun, with the 222 on top for the coyotes that I always see when turkey hunting...

FWIW, Savage didn't introduce the 24V until the mid-1960s, so this combination gun probably isn't more than 25 or so years old. The "Series" roll stamp did come along until sometime later, but I'm not sure when the Series C falls into the time-line.

All of the 410 and 20 gauge 24s, except for the 24C, were cataloged as having full chocks.

Serial number starting with a C is going to be mid-70's I think, can be more specific when I get home.

Be a nice rig to have.

The "newer" versions had the separation between the barrels. I had a 22LR/20 ga around 1970 and it had a solid connection all the way to the muzzle.

I just bought one of these but not as nice as this one. Someone should snap it up! How do you mount a scope and what kind of a scope can you put on it without getting the old "scope in the eye routine" when you shoot the 20 gauge? I don't like the scout mounts but I'm afraid to get my eye knocked out.

I have a variety of 1.5x-4.5/5 and 2-7x scopes on my Savage 24Vs and have managed not to get scope bit. I've shot a few doves, grouse, and ducks with the scope set on low power. Any good quality 1" tube scope should have enough eye relief to make shooting with a scope safe, as long as you don't creep the stock or have the stock slip off your shoulder.

Mine shoots great. Someone should buy this.

Rifle was made late in 1975..

Thanks for determining the age. I used info on savage24.com to try and decipher the serial. Guess it wasn't accurate, lol. I have no idea the exact age. I've had it for years and never fired it and really don't have a use for it.

They are neat guns... I have a Hornet x 20 and a 22LR x 410 and they are fun to play with...

I have one that is my turkey/coyote and carry on the 4 wheeler gun. Its killed about everything. I have a old Weaver K4 with post reticle that works really well. Never had the scope come close to hitting even with 3" mags. My shotgun shoots a little low but easy to compensate if you know about it.

i have one 410-22lr great squirrel gun just a little heavy.

Guys, you think the price is reasonable?
