I have Granddad’s Model 24. It hasn’t been out of the safe in years can’t remember if it has a suffix designation. Granddad bought it in the ‘50’s sometime it is .22lr/.410 3”. Nice wood furniture and a color case hardened receiver. I have been in possession of this since around 1964. It still looks as good as when it was new. I have shot countless rabbits, quail, dove with it. I am 75 and in probably not too many years it will go to my grandson.
Now that is cool! I love to hear stories of firearms passed down through the generations. I hope your grandson will cherish it and keep it in good condition as well. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching too!
I got a 30 30 over 20ga. 20 ga takes 3” magnums too. Checkered walnut stock with swirly blueing on the receiver. Inherited from my Dad. And his Dad owned a gun shop here in town. So Dad inherited from Grampa. I love it and will someday give it to my son. Shot a lot of partridge and big game with it. My motto when carrying this gun was that the bottom barrel will fill the pot but the top barrel will fill the freezer.
They have the equipment to do it and they already make single shot, break action rifles. Sadly the only thing available in new firearms that I know of, is the Savage in a 410/22 combo. Thanks for watching!
Interesting gun. They must be pretty rare today, Gunsamerica didn't have any of the 30-30/12 versions. I could see how they could be quite useful. Nice looking range, by the way.
I’ve seen several survival rifles from Savage and other brands over the years. I would feel really great about carrying this gun into the woods with me due to the caliber/gauge combination for this gun! The .30-30 works really well for deer, 12 gauge can fetch you about any bird you want to eat with the right shot, and you can load buckshot or slugs, as well! Great options here!
Gotta start messing with mine again! Think I got my trigger down to under 3.5 pounds…or less. I need to polish the chambers. On my first outing with it I had a12 gauge trap load stuck in the chamber after firing. I had to tap it out the empty hull with a cleaning rod. Figure polishing might help with the release. I also acquired a bunch of 22 hornet brass and tons of hornet specific projectiles to do some accuracy testing.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview yeah it was the first time shooting the gun when I had stuck hull. Was using cheap 7.5 shot federal trap loads for testing. Didn’t happen again, but I haven’t shot it much or I should say after the test it’s been collecting dust ever since. I figure a good chamber polishing will help release them. It worked in my 223 H&R so I’m guessing it will hopefully fix the issue in the savage. It looked it the brass stuck under the extractor on the 24f.
I found one in a gun shop a few years ago. Bought it. Had some issues with the 12 gauge not firing but had that fixed. I put a weaver mount on it and a red dot. You can still use the open sight thou. A butt sleeve to hold extra rounds w/ a check riser works great. Then a got a 8" rifled insert for the 12 gauge tube. Not it shoots 12 gauge/ .30-.30 and .22 long rifle. Take this with me everywhere. With the different types of ammo and shells, this is great for hunting, camping , or anything.
I've collected Model 24's for years and have about every gauge and caliber combination they made. From .22LR over a 20 gauge up to a 30-06 over a 12 gauge. For a total of 54 Savage 24's. in the gun room. The one I'm looking for right is a 24V 22 swift over a 20.
Production started in 1938 under the Stevens name. About 15000 were sold to the Army Air Corps as survival guns. I've got a 24D 22 over 20ga. The trigger is awful, but I'll deal with that.
How was the trigger pull? I had that exact gun many years ago and the trigger pull had to be at least ten pounds. I eventually sold it because of the trigger and the weight of the gun, especially with a scope. Thanks
I honestly don't remember exactly but that leads me to believe it wasn't too high or too low, at least nothing out of the ordinary. Thank you for watching!
Great video mate! There's not enough info out there on the Savage Model 24 F's. Appreciate you documenting it and I like the butt stock shell holder mod as well. I have a 223/12G version and love it! Cheers, ASC.
I just got done stoning the trigger in my 22 hornet/ 12 gauge. After four times of stoning and testing I bet it still breaks at 5 pounds or more but really crisp. Before I started it literally hurt my finger to pull the trigger. I don’t see how these guns are worth anything except for a novelty which explains why they don’t make them anymore. I have plenty of other guns with lighter triggers that’ll be way more accurate for hunting so this gun will probably sit in the closet until somebody pays me twice is what it’s worth.
I need one of those sssoooo bad..i,ve looked for years and never found one..i pretty much live in the woods and want a combination gun for everyday carry...and 30-30 12 gauge is what i need..
I,ve actually talked to savage arms and tryed to get them to make them again..we talked back and forth but as we known their not making them yet..it,s to bad..i also have another gun maker i,am talking too about combination guns...a falling block action with diffrent barrel sets that can be changed out easily.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview Yea i did a search last night ... so much for for just going out and buying one.. that bad boy would cover every animal you could find in FL .. perfect bush rifle
My Brothers and I had identical Model 24s in .22LR and .410 shotgun, back about 50 years ago. I late refinished the furniture on mine. They were good reliable single-shot guns, but I always craved more gun. This 30:30 and 12 gauge combo would do the trick. They show up every now and then on guns international. Towards the end of the Model 24's run at Savage Arms, they put the shotgun barrel on top and the rifle barrel below, which I think is a better arrangement. The other issue with most combination guns is that it is hard when using open sights to shoot accurately with both barrels. Either you dial in the rifle barrel or the shotgun barrel, but seldom both. There's a term for that property but I can't remember its name.
This was the only 30-30/12ga combo I had ever seen, so when my friend offered it to me for a review, I had to say yes. I've seen lots of the .22/410s and they still make them today, but this combination was a rare one.Thanks for watching.
That joker is awesome! Idk how u come across that one. Always wanted the 12ga/223 model. Would be a very practical gun. And the 22/410... 🤔Hmm. Thanks for the video!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview I like 22 410 I used to have one of the little Springfield armory ones I wish I would have kept it if I would have known they didn't make them anymore I would have never sold it! And you're welcome great video!
Saw a great rifle/ shotgun combo back in the nineties. It was either Russian or Turkish and had a sighted .30-06 on top and a 12 gge. below. Beautiful gun would have made the perfect hunter!
Nice, thorough, video. I own a 1940 Model 24 .22/.410. My Dad gave it to me when I first became his caregiver in 2013. It’s a sweet little gun and a fun introduction to .410. Safe shooting, All. Grace and Peace 😊
The .22/410 combo is still available surprisingly. I wish they had some larger calibers still available. Thanks for the compliment and thank for watching!
You'll have to check the used market, the only thing they make these days is the .22lr/.410 or the .22mag/.410. The model 42 Takedown. Thanks for watching!
Nice video sir, if you have 32/40 + 16 bore gun which is combination gun will you add video on RUclips I will be very thankful to you sir I am from India mumbai
more game has been and still is with the 30-30 than all other rounds put together ! but I still love the 06 ! the 308 ain't bad though ! love the 303 but you can never find and ammo ( have the jungle model , love it )! would like to have the 1903 06 !! cool vid !
Oh, I don't think you can order one of these, they've been out of production for a long time. I'm sure there are firearms auction sites where they may appear from time to time but people tend to hang on to rarities like this. The current model that Savage makes is only chambered in .22/.410 if I'm not mistaken. Thanks for watching!
You'll just have to look around, maybe check your local shops and gun shows. There are some online gunbrokers that may have them listed too. Other than the .22/410, there haven't been any new ones made in years.
Anyone interested I. Buying one of these I would check out the Tikka first. In my opinion it’s a better gun, not that the savage Mod24 isn’t a good gun too, I just prefer the feel and look of the Tikka better.
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview yeah it’s on my Christmas list but I’m not holding my breath. I have a Savage 24 M 22lr 20 gauge but I fell on it and broke the spur on the hammer and cracked the stock 😢 Beautiful firearm though.
Savage needs to resurrect this whole model 24 series. "Survival" combination guns would sell like pop corn at a movie theatre these days. There are potential combos that Savage never even made back when that would really get people standing in line for one. 12ga and .30-30 sure seems like a wilderness survival gun to me. Even grizzly bear could be taken with that.
I agree. I think the only thing they have available right now, is the model 42. The only caliber choices in the modern one is .22lr or .22mag over a .410 shotgun barrel. I would imagine its tough to fulfill the wants of all the shooters out there but the 22/410 combo seems to be a great choice for the beginning hunter. Thanks for watching!
@@SmallCaliberArmsReview They could sell a ton of them with .22lr/28ga barrels these days. .410 is dying a miserable death. Ammo essentially non existent, And heard of scalper prices of $25 or more a box, but see 28ga at Wal-Mart regularly in this ammo crisis.
