Rare Savage 24?

[mohavesam]

Just handled my first... A Savage 24-something, with a 20 gauge barrel under a 357 Maximum!

Prior to this I had not even heard of this model, tho ive had a couple with rimfire barrels ove a 20.

Anyone have any detail ? :?: :?: :?:

Yep, remember those. I want a 30-30 over 12 ga.

The 24's hold their value pretty good, used ones go for good money in these parts.
Never seen or heard of one in that configuration.ps

You probably have a 24V series D, can find some info on over at:

and at

I have a 24V Series D .223 Rem over 20 Ga and another set of barrels in 357 Mag over 20Ga, though I reamed it out to 357 Max.

This is factory-chambered for 357 Maximum. My OP as about never having seen these in my travels.

I've seen one and know of a barreled action of another.

Hmmm...

I know a guy who owns one.

The .357 max is supposed to be one of the rarest, I've got a .22 Hornet over 12Ga, not as rare but still hard to find.

24's are out there but you don't see a lot in that caliber. They vary from field grade to fancy, been around since the 40's or 50's. I have several and pick them up whenever I see one at a fair price.
