Savage Model 24
 

my dad has a model 24 o/u .223/12 gauge. Do they still produce this? how valuable are they. im guessing he got it in the 80's, correct me if im wrong cause i dont:fighting0007: even know when they produced them or if they still do. His has an old woodland style camo on it. i must say its very heavy but sick as hell! so just tell me about this gun, thanks!

No longer made.....too bad....fine guns too.

The one that is in high demand and high priced is the wood stocked 22 LR over .410.....

Sorry....I'm not sure how the bigger gauges are faring in price.

Your Dad's gun is most likely a model 24F. The 24F was the last iteration of the Savage over/under gun. You can find a used Savage model 24F over/under for $300-400. Some guys want $500-700 for theirs but they seldom get that much.

I was infatuated with them for a while. The older wooden stock guns were solid guns...that were absolute tanks. The newer ones are OK...but some have the scope mounts attached on only one side and the scope will move with some pressure on it.

The problem with them lies in the fact that with 2 barrels, they cannot both be completely accurate. They are set at a slight angle to each other...and eventually they will not shoot in unison. I had one that I put a raised scope mount on and the .223 was sighted in using the scope, the 12ga the iron sights. That worked the best. The reason I did this was because the point of impact was about a foot different at 50yds.

I had another 12ga/22 hornet that was a great gun. At 50yds they both would hit the 12ga w/ slug and the horned would pretty much group on top of each other. At 100yds they weren't bad...but not great, either.

I had a lot of combos of them until I realized that I never really needed both guns at the same time...so I sold them and replaced with more practical guns. I was a nice newer .223/12 the other day with rings on it...the shop wanted $400 for it. That's pretty standard.

Just saw a 223/20 ga. at a gun show this past weekend. There was a $500.00 tag on it. It was still there when I left. I generally see the .22/.410's going for around the $350 range, if in nice condition. I grew up on one of them..... killed my first squirrels and rabbits with one.

My nephew had a a 50's vintage 22/410 that he inherited from his Dad.. I hunted with it years ago..It was solid and in nice shape..

He sold it at a yard sale for $150 last summer and thought he did did a hell of a stroke of business...

I'd have liked to have kicked his butt, but I clenched my teeth and kept my mouth shut...

SOMEBODY was smiling after that transaction...

wow, no matter what gun i inherit from my dad whether it be his JC higgins 16 gauge to his m77 ruger, i wouldnt sell them for all the money in the world.

Mine is 24V .30-.30/3"20 ga...Bought it used at a Gun Shop for $200 in 1997

My Savage over/under is the model 24F in .22 Hornet over 20 gauge. Most of the Savage over/unders do not work well with scopes because the barrels are not regulated: They shoot to different points of aim. Mine is unusual in that respect, the barrels shoot to the same point of aim.

It is a heavy cumbersome gun but it is great for called in coyotes. Number 3 or 4 buckshot from a 3" shell will take a coyote out to about 50 yards.

...... That should make for a really sweet turkey combo too..... 3" 20 ga. in #2 or bb's with the Hornet.. Yessir!!:hail:
