One of my brothers started out with a Savage 24 model and his choice was .22 top barrel and .410 on the bottom .. He walked into the forest for 50 years with that firearm and always brought back upland birds .. His only complaint was the cost of .410 shells was double of what .20 gauge were selling for but other than that he always said it was the best hunting firearm he owned ... True statement about those models , i know fellows who after all these years still use the Sears model O/U .22 /410..I'm 76 now and i don't think my brothers Savage will ever give up on him..
They are built like tanks. I love mine - it is a pre- 1968. Don't bother with the new model 42 - they have a bad review.
@@huckleberry490 I know I have a .410 also for years!
I could never understand why .410 cost way more than 20 gauge shells do ..
@@normanmallory2055 because they are not as popular so not manufactured on the same scale , I have a 410 model 24 too and here the ammo is so scarce I buy it wherever I get it
I’ve got my Dad’s Savage over and under after he passed . It’s over 60 years old and my favorite small game gun , accurate and never lets you down .
I bought my Dad the same shotgun many years ago…he passed away a few years ago and this combo rifle /shotgun came back to me…
I bought my first firearm a few months ago at 49 years old. I now have three. I'm hooked. I'm so glad I found your channel. It's like rifle college or something. And I really appreciate the lack of heavy metal intros and over-production.
@Bo Zo It really is fascinating.
Better late than never. Welcome.
@@jamiehess4211 Thanks.
I hate those stupid intros. I too appreciate this.
@@simonsmith2642 👍
A Montana Highway patrolman asked me what my Savage 24 V on the seat was for. I told him I might have to shoot something. It was my favorite firearm 35 years ago. Grouse and coyotes , .223/ 20 gauge combo. Lots of other stuff as well.
I had one, 357 magnum over a 20 gage, it was the most accurate rifle right out of the box I ever owned.
In 1965, my father was stationed at Ubon, Thailand. He and some other sergeants started a rod and gun club with the CO's blessings. Dad soon found a way to buy fishing tackle and guns thru the BX 'for the club members'. He said a lot of Aussies joined the club just to get the Savage, they loved them. Many of them he even mailed to Australia for them, things sure were different back then.
1965 momma was...... 9? i think 9. and she was popping rats with one of these for her dad on the farm in DENVER!!! times were good back then {except for the segregation bullshit obviously}
to earn money for a horse her and my aunt took .22 20g savages around denver and killed rats for ppl and businesses for .10
Good day. I'm from South Africa and I've got a Carrero and Astelarra .22/410 It is one of my favorite firearms. I almost sold it once but luckily my son convinced me not to.
Thank you for bringing back many wonderful memories of the first gun my dad ever gave me. He put a simple Williams receiver sight on it, helped me zero it, then turned me loose on the local rabbits, startlings, and what have you. The 24 was a terrific development, and it's a shame that Savage didn't do the original justice when reintroducing it. You, on the other hand, did a fine job paying tribute to this gun.
I just had this gun passed down to me from my grandfather, very excited to try it out
I have had 2. One in 22 over 20 ga. and one in 22 mag over 20 ga. Love them for quail and cottontails in the arizona deserts.
I had a Savage mod 24 .357 mag over a 20 ga in my younger days, I miss that gun.
how are the 357 ones? momma said she adored her dads savage .22 20g.
I have the same gun
I had a Savage 24C, 22LR over 20 guage, and a Savage 24V, .357 Magnum over 20 guage. Loved both of them.
The 24C gets my vote. Handy to pack along...
Got the 24v with 20g and .22 hornet myself. Probably my favorite gun!
Mine is an early 1950s model 24, 22/410, walnut furniture with the button on the side. My stepfather gave it to me for my 13th birthday, my first firearm. His father gave it to him in 1957 on the condition he quit smoking. LOL! As the story goes, his father repoed it a few times as he started smoking again. My two brothers and I got our first squirrels with it. Some 410 shells didn’t work well. It liked the green Remington shells. A 50 round box of 22s seemed to last all day! I had the barrel re-blued, the receiver re-antiqued, and a new walnut stock fitted around 1992. It’s a beautiful and classic firearm. I always thought the black painted aluminum trigger guard looked a bit out of place though.
In total agreement. My "amble in the woods " gun is my double 410,I sometimes think I shoot better with it than I do with my 12 bore!
.410’s are so fast that they almost make up for their lack of power.
My synthetic stocked rossi weighs 2 1/2 pounds.Used within its limitations a 410 is an awesome gun.
lol my brothers main trap/skeet gun is a .410 double.....after using it as such for about 10 years he is now 'banned' (via good natured abuse) from using a 12ga for club shoots....as he says, once you get halfway good with a .410 you find that you just need to wave a 12 bore in the general direction of the target clays flight path and they just fall apart......
@@unhippy1 take away his bead sight next. 🤣
@@john-paulsilke893 Probably wouldn't matter. I know I don't use the bead for trap/skeet. Point and shoot with both eyes open. Very fast and effective.
My first gun was a Savage 24D given to me by my father when I was 12 at Chistmas. 22 mag/20 ga was a very handy combo. My nephew now has it.
you'll put your eye out
The over/under with the barrel selector on the hammer .22/20gauge Savage
Very useful hunting rifle
Still have mine.
@@fredlaughlin6343 I still have mine too.
My Stepfather let me use his. I wish I still had that gun.
I have this same gun in .22LR/20G and it is the BEST all around gun!
I've owned one of those old side lever Savage model 24 s-es since the mid 1970's. Runs 22mag on top and 3"20gauge on bottom. Man, that thing can get you by for 90% of what you might need it for in the field. Rifle barrel is stupid accurate. The 20 gauge is (real world) cheaper to feed than a .410 ( I know it shouldn't be that way, but it is.) Toss in a slug round and it can deliver enough snort for bear protection on a hike in Grizz country. Love it.
Agree with you on Everything in your comment!! Great, versatile guns, 20 gauge 3" is much better and cheaper than .410! What is the deal, there are plenty of .410s out there, why the high price? Some people think all the Taurus Judge and Bond Arms Derringer owners are Hoarding It!! (Hey, just kidding guys!) Blsgs, gg
My dad has one just like that. It definitely is a go to gun for the woods.
In the early 70's I had a Savage Model 24 in .30-30 over a 20 gauge. I mounted a variable scope on it and that proved to be outstanding for deer and anything that could be had with a shotgun (I am still horrid with a shotgun). I have looked for another for a number of years, will find one sooner than later.
I still have my 30-30/20 Ga. with a 1-4X Leupold scope. Great guns. I also have my old "Bunny" gun, Steven 22/410 (plastic stock) from when I was a kid in the 1950s.
That sounds useful.
When I was a kid I had a Savage with a 12 gauge and 22 Hornet.
Thats an awesome combo, those are worth some coin.
Dane Boro: Amen brotha.
@@daneboro6847 it sucks my mother bought it for me and it got stolen. Still to this day it bothers me
Had a Sears .22/20Ga. I think it was made by Cooey. In any case it was rusty and a bit gritty but killed more rabbits, squirrels, porcupine and deer then any other gun I ever heard of. In five years it probably killed nearly every day and often multiple times in many of those. Not a fine rifle by any means but a solid dinner table gun. That and my step dad’s artillery Luger would get you a quick $100,000 if I could find them, and neither gun is actually worth but perhaps $2,000 for the pair.
@Cliff Yablonski Twice? I've killed coyotes at 175 yards with my Hornet
I also have a 24 in 22/410. Great little woods roaming gun. I'm mounting a vintage receiver sight to mine to help with older eyes and somewhere in my collection of "stuff" I have a set of sling swivels built for it. Great little guns.
I have the Savage model 24, it was my grandfather's in Tx., handed down to my dad than to me. I hope it stays in the fam for many yrs to come. I love shooting it as do my grandsons.
I have the 22mag over 20ga 3" mag. It has been cerekoted for better weather resistance. Makes for a great truck gun on the property.
I have two, Savage over and under combos. A .22 - 410 and a .222 - 20 ga. They are the most useful guns to roam around with. The .222 is remarkably accurate.
.222 & 20ga!?! I’m there brother!
and the 20 gauge is great, remington 3BK 20 pellet buckshot is excellent, for those that have not tried I highly reccomend it.
Even with the heavy trigger! 👍🏻
Still have a Savage 22 lr/20 GA over under I got for Christmas when I was 10. Great little gun that is now my sons.
I have the 24v .222 over 20 gauge. My 20 is near useless but off sandbag my 222 will shoot 3/4 inch at 200 yards love it.
My dad has one and it was the first real gun I ever used. Handy, reliable and you learn to make the shot’s count. It’s not like a fine double with the quick second shot. Reloading is almost as quick as resetting the hammer and selecting the other barrel.
My 1st gun was the Stevens model 22-410, my grandfather gave it to me when I was 8 years old. It's the same gun as the model 24 Savage, Savage owned Stevens, and they stopped making them. The Stevens model 22-410 had a plastic stock, and the problem with the plastic stock is prone to brake. Stevens made them from 1938 to 1950, after that Savage made them, and renamed it as the model 24. But you are right, it is the perfect do all firearm.
I used to look at the Gun Digests when I was a kid and pick which guns I wanted out of the buying guide in the back lol The Savage Model 24 was one of the guns on that list. The 30-30/20 ga. was my preferred. I think they also made them in .222, .357 and also 12 ga. I believe. What combination with what I don't recall. Great video!!
Have one in .22/20g, bought a .30-30 rifled insert for the 20g, hunted everything in my State with it.
Sorry , my question was for Henry🙄. You’re the first I’ve heard mention such a thing . Rather than ask a load of questions , would I simply search 30-30 insert for 20gauge ? Any particular manufacturer ? Oh , I just realized , the gun I’m about to buy is the 22 over 410 model … Still possible? Thanks !
My family had two different 24Ds, the 22 WMR and 20 ga. They were my woods gun when a teen in Northern Arizona. I think my father actually covered them in the late 60's in an article in Gun Digest as a family firearm. The second 24 selector did fail, but was an easy fix. When a late teen, I tried to buy a 223/20 ga but the production was intermittent and I left hunting.
In the 60s my older brother had a savage 22 short 410over and under.
He’s gone now and that’s the only thing I have that was his.
Needless to say I cherish that gun💙☮️🇺🇸
Have it engraved with a memorial. much less likely to be stolen in a breakin {according to a stats website for gun thefts}
approximately, ball park type figure, how many guns do you own? I'm fascinated by your knowledge and ability to produce a seemingly endless supply of amazing guns for our edutainment. Many thanks Sir, and please continue your sterling work.
A little over 40 years ago the first gun I found under the Christmas tree with my name on it was a 24v 357 mag 20. The original was stolen back in the mid 80s but I have its replacement and still use it from time to time. If anyone finds one with a "survival kit" (matches, bouillon cubes, etc) in the buttstock it's mine.
Wow! The savage mod 24. I’ve had mine for some 35 years ... it was my dads I looked up the date code and it was a 1963 mfg but it had the selector replaced by a small switch on the hammer as the small knob selector would break... its still there just do any thing.... I love this combo break action gun.... so simple yet so capable...

🇺🇸>> THE SOLUTION TO THE U.S.A. DEBT & THE COVID-19 IS IN MY MESSAGE HERE:
Watch the video called
'THE MONEY MASTERS' by Bill Still.
Then also watch the video called 'THE SECRET OF OZ' by Bill Still.
Then you will know what action we must take when organized !
Give me thoughts about the two videos after you watch them.
I know what will completely get rid of the U.S.A. debt, but many of us have to demand this from the politicians (our public servants).
If the politicians won't listen then the military has the right to defend the U.S.A. against "all threats, foreign and DOMESTIC" !
* Please watch the 2 videos I recommended to you first, then we will talk.
⚠ Maybe we should STOP focusing so much on non-essential distractions and START focusing on who controls the money system.
⚠
THE LOSS OF CONFIDENCE IN THE U.S.A. DOLLAR CAUSES VALUE LOSS IN THE U.S.A. DOLLAR !
People, please stop talking negative about the U.S.A. dollar.
Yes, most of us agree that the dollar would be better if the privately owned Federal Reserve business would be replaced with Congress taking back their Constitutional right to print the dollar again as they did before the year 1913.
* Please watch the video documentary called, 'THE MONEY MASTERS' by Bill Still.
The U.S. dollar currency has value in most countries on this earth because modern day technology has made it almost impossible to counterfeit. Gold and Silver can be easily counterfeited !
It costs many thousands of dollars to own a machine that accurately tests Gold and Silver for counterfeits.
* I personally own a little Gold and Silver as a novelty.
By you and others criticizing the U.S.A. dollar pushes us faster towards a One World Order cashless digital currency money slavery system !
Please research past history from many hundreds of years ago on how Gold and Silver was made scarce by corrupt politicians.
When Gold & Silver is made scarce it causes many, many problems.
Send all the corrupt politicians that got the U.S.A in debt to communist China to have them pay off the debt in the China slave labor prisons !
* President Trump can create an Executive Order to wipe out the U.S.A. debt.
Then allow Congress their Constitutional right to print non-debt based money again as they did before the year 1913.
The words 'FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE' will then be replaced with the words 'UNITED STATES NOTE' back on our cash.
If Congress does not do this soon we are going to be in a lot of trouble ! !
Why isn't President Trump taking action by implementing this ?
This would truly help "make America great again!"
I and many other American's are not afraid of the corrupt Federal Reserve bank. "We The People" are the government. The U.S. Constitution clearly explains this! The politicians are our public servants. WE SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID TO FIGHT FOR THE TRUTH ! ! !
Watch the historical video documentary called
'THE SECRET OF OZ' by Bill Still.
It explains that Gold and Silver have been made scarce by banks that resulted in depressions and many other serious problems. This fact has happened often in many countries.
Most people need to fine tune their critical thinking skills and research abilities.
~DNA ALTERING VACCINES & THE COMING CONTROLLED MONEY SLAVERY SYSTEM~
LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO WHAT Jeremiah Babe said over 5 weeks ago on his RUclips channel .....
He said, "The prices of GOLD and SILVER are manipulated !"
Please research past history from many hundreds of years ago on how Gold and Silver was made scarce by corrupt politicians.
When Gold & Silver is made scarce it causes many, many problems.
*Now, I want you all to think carefully about the logical conclusion here.
The evil elitist that manipulate the prices of Gold & Silver can make a new law that says you can't "buy or sell" with Gold, Silver or Cash.
Their new form of "money" will be a computer chip in your "right hand or forehead" that can be scanned just like your bank debit cards at all stores.
How many of you have 7 years of food stored up in your houses or in your apartments or on your property ?
Why would anybody invest or put their trust in Gold & Silver that is manipulated by very evil people ?
Question, how many of you will be willing to trade your guns and ammo in for food and medicines?
How many are going to let themselves and their family members go hungry to the point of starvation by NOT accepting the new 666 "beast" money system ?
How many of you will allow yourselves or family members suffer with an injury because you refuse to have the injury treated at your local walk-in clinic or hospital that only accepts a computer chip in the "right hand or forehead" ?

I got one used 56 years ago and still have it, 22lr/410 with a plastic stock. Shot many rabbits and partridges with it, great survival gun.
I inherited a 22/410 from my dad and its my favourite rifle.
Stevens was the first to put out the 22/410 over and under and the gun you show here is a copy of the old Stevens 22/410 over and under. My Stevens 22/410 was passed down from my Grandfather, to my Dad, to my Brother, and then to Me. Great video !!!!! GOD Bless !!!!! James and Judy Hopper
I have the same model of savage although mine is chambered for 20 gauge I absolutely adore that gun. Although on my model the selector for the barrel is on the hammer itself strange but very cool.
I have one of these that my dad had refurbished as an heirloom and I love it. It was the first rifle I shot and my dad let it hit me in the face as a learning point in my life.
A friend in Florida who recently passed,used a Savage .22WiMR / 20Ga for much hunting , head neckshot close range on hogs he did also with care ful placement. Otherwise excellent Osceola turkey gun, and coyotes,
Was easy to carry it on the bicycle, if he saw a yote, it was quick end for them.
I found one of these after watching this video. It was missing the selector switch, which I found at Numrich, I think. Very fun to shoot.
SAVAGE 42. “They say it is the same. And, it is, only it isn’t.” Cracked me up!
Thank you!
Hi James - Glad you bought the Savage and got the part to bring it back to life : )
The model 24 was the first rifle/shotgun that I shot as a kid. Dad had a 22/410 like the example you have in the video. For years it was the only firearm in the house. After growing up and leaving home someone broke into my folks home and stole it. I am a baby boomer, so it was during the 1960’s that I handled dad’s. I am not sure when he bought it, probably in the 1950’s. I started looking for one about 15 years ago. I ran into several over the years, but they were bear up or too pricey. Even the beat up ones were pricey. A couple of years ago a 22lr/20 gauge popped up in a pawn shop here in Flagstaff. It was a later version with the barrel selector on the hammer and a plastic trigger guard. The trigger guard was broke and the shoulder stock was loose. It sat in the shop for several months, probably half a year before negotiating a price to my liking. I got it home, tightened the stock, replaced the trigger guard,, and cleaned it up. I then took it to the range. The 22 is accurate and produced a good group.I am still looking for a 22/410. And I wouldn’t mind finding a 22 Hornet/20 gauge. I think they were the best farm guns ever produced. And they breakdown so easily into a compact package.
Hi Stephen - Excellent information and history - thanks for the note. I'm glad you tuned up the old one - plenty of life left I'm sure. I like the sounds of the Hornet combo! Take care and good shooting!
For the lone squirrel hunter: pop a 22 into the suspected nest and get him with the 410 as he runs.
Use a burlap sack for your kills. If you have an abundance of water available you can drop the bag in a bucket of water after putting some iron in it so it will sink completely to kill the fleas. Or hang it up 100 feet away from your camp, preferably on a line with a retrieval string on it, and wait for them to get cold. The fleas will jump off after a few hours and you can then clean the hunt for dinner without having the fleas jump on you.
That's illegal in most states.
@@fideauone3416 what, drowning fleas? the dirty little bloodsuckers have it coming.
I dreamed about having a Savage 22/410 when I was a boy, but never did get one. Now I am old and have no use for one, but just thinking about it brings back good boyhood memories. Back then I had a Marlin bolt action 22, which was very good. I recently gave it to my younger brother, who also used it when we were boys back in the 1950s.
Best gun channel by far! Thank you so very much for all that you do! Blessings!
I am humbled. Thank you and God Bless.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns do you know what is the world's lightest .410 single shot shotgun made in the United States of America ?
Growing Up in Nevada, There Was One Behind Every Front Door, and In Every Farm Truck.
Back in the 80's a writer for The Rifleman did an article on a Second hand Savage 24, I Believe It was the. 357 over 20ga. Where a gunsmith cut it down, Re-choked it, put a cartridge trap in the stock, sling & swivels, and Turned it Into the Perfect outback Companion.
Hi Ronald - That has to be a very handy gun! I wish they made the 24 again - and a model in that configuration. I've always found the .357 to be one of the most useful rounds in a rifle. All the best to you.
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns On a Unrelated Subject. there Was an article Written in the Early 80's in American Rifleman from a Man Living on a Remote homestead in Alaska. And the Title was something like, The Five guns, ( or Calibers ) To live in Alaska, ( and Were available anywhere in Alaska & Canada ) Was 12ga. .375 H&H, 30-06, .22Lr. & .357 mag. And All these years later I Still Agree.
P.S. he also carried a 4" S & W model 66. This was His Do All Combination for Ranch and Outdoor Work.
Very good video! Thank you very much, very detailed. I have been a bush pilot for more than 30 years, countless flight hours south of the Orinoco River in South America visiting remote places. I often carry a 16x16 / 30-06 Drilling Sauer & Sohn for those same reasons. Very compact and versatile. Capable of knocking down wild cattle or pigeons for food. For me there is no doubt that "combinations" are the solution for a survival plan! Thanks again for your channel, the best!
I was sorry to see that you took down your last video of the big bore shooting, I really enjoyed that video.
My brother's first shotgun was a .410 Model 37A. I have never seen a single shot built so sturdily. It was like a little bank vault, no rattles, no movement of the forearm. It was just so built. I am guessing it was 1961 or 1962, because my brother was born in 1949 and had to have a shotgun at 12 years to go hunting with Dad. I was there many times, not all of the time, but sometimes I got to go along. That little .410 had a real quality 'heft' to it. It really felt so solid.
I like Gun digest ,I have 40 odd books ,I have found them very useful and have learnt a lot from my readings. Theres lots of facts in them unavailable on the net.
Again thanks for your excellent presentation
Thanks, I grew up with one of these Savage model 24s. It was a wonderful firearm.
The groves are for something like a 1.6x with brightening, ie a low power scope with a big objective lens so you can see in poor light conditions that wouldn't allow the iron sights.
My first gun back in 1963 was a .22/.410 Savage. I wish I still had it...
I have it in 30:30/20 gauge. Bought it new maybe 35 years ago. Figured it would work for everything from small game to deer sized game. Enjoyed the video.
Your very fortunate man. Excellent combination.
My Savage 24 is a .222 over a 20 gauge!! Love the thing, and take it with me every night to go check the cows!! Very versatile and accurate!! Have a nice bag on the stock that holds an ample supply of each type ammo!!
Managed to come across one of these a year ago. Needed a little TLC, but finished up great! Love it! Accurate as hell. Keep it up at my camp as my camp gun for varmints. Couldn’t be more perfect!
I have one, but the stock and hand grip is a plastic material. Love it!
I restored a 24B for my brother-in-law, it was a project and I gained a real appreciation for the rifle. After I was done it looked good and functioned perfectly. I wanted one, but have never seen one for sale. A few months after I returned the weapon to my brother-in-law we visited, and he had drilled holes in the stock and forend and screwed it to a wall.
Great video! I totally agree/sympathise with your comment on regretting selling yours in the past...... potentially the best all around long gun I have ever owned. My present multi purpose is a Mossberg 500, .410 pump.
I've had a 24B, .22/.410, for some 35 yrs and now my daughter has adopted it for around the house, the bar selector is not operable but I replaced it with a later model hammer with the selector built in to the hammer,,,,,,best rabbit/squirrel gun I ever owned.
That was a very nice honest review thank you! Subscribed!
I never doubted you were a humble and sensible man but your endorsement of such simple yet useful guns, just as much as the finer things in the firearm world, should leave nobody in any doubt whatsoever with regard your sensibilities.
The barrels were brazed together just like double barrel shotguns. The brazing or silver soldering takes place in a special oven or by the high frequency method, the solder is kept to a minimum in order to avoid overruns and spills. It's quite an art to get to such a level of perfection that the solder cannot be seen. Some double shotguns were tin soldered but it was superseded by silver or brass on account of coming apart when blued in a caustic hot bath salts thus requiring the more complicated and time consuming method of slow rust bluing.
Yes, it looks like art, the barrels “brazed” together rather than joined with more parts/screws. Seems like the barrels would tend to stay parallel(?) to one another over time being soldered their entire length. But I know nothing😐other than I’ve been in search of one built this way and wow! are they prized nowadays. And I think I found one 🤞🏼. Thanks for your knowledge !
No wonder they stopped building them that way. I’d think that people who know how to do it are few and far between now. Are double barrel guns still built the same way or ?
@@lisacolbert5987 Some small shops and big names like H&H, Grulla, Garbi, etc. that produce a few pieces a year use the old method. Guns that come out of an assembly line employ modern technology for barrel joining, the primary method being silver soldering with high frequency to heat the barrels and melt or fuse the silver alloy which will form the joint.
@@chapiit08 Although I don’t know all of the tech terms , I figured as much. “Welded” together but nowhere near as pretty a finished product. Makes me think of small shops that only produce a few violins a year and have a waiting list.
@@lisacolbert5987 Double barrel shotguns are regulated so that both barrels hit at the same general spot about 20 meters away. but custom built guns can be regulated as per customer's specifications. I know of an Italian gunsmith who built his own 16 gauge double with parallel barrels and a special trigger system that allows to shoot a single barrel or both at the same time, which requires of a reinforced frame and locking system to withstand the pressure generated by both barrels going off at the same time which produce a 4 meter pattern at 20 meters. It's a purpose built gun designed and built to hunt some type of bird whose name or description I can't remember at this time. If I can find out more I will post it.
I have an early Cooey , given to me by Dad when I as ten. It w probably a good 40 years old then , in 1967. I still use it. The Barrel and lug are forged from one piece , and everything else milled as well.No stamped pieces , at all. Even the Hammer is wider and heavier then usually seen. I haved fired everything from #7 birdshot to rifled slugs through it , and it just keeps working. I love it for partridge shooting. It's quick to the shoulder , and you can carry it all day with little effort. It is my first choice , When bird season opens.
You have an ace in that gun - if only they still made them. Your Dad bought well. God Bless.
My first gun was a model 24 in 20gauge/ .22lr. Got it for my 11th birthday. It sure taught me how to make every shot count. I took many ducks, pheasants, chickens, and partridges with that gun. I still have it after 43 years.
A Savage 24 was my first gun as well.
Given at Christmas 1966, Loved that gun and like you wish I still had mine.
JUst came across this video and had to watch it. I got my 24DL on my 10th birthday from Dad and will never give it up. It's in 20gauge and 22 mag on top, selector is in the hammer, not the button like yours, monte carlo stock and nails chucks like a dream. Good to see others appreciate a great design too.
That's a great combination - I find the .22 Mag. a very versatile cartridge and in the 24dl with 20 Ga - you're set! Thanks for the note.
The best surprise coincidence with my twin brother and I. On our 18th birthday I bought him a Savage model 24J DL in .22 lr and .410. He had bought me a model 24 in .22 mag and 20 gauge. I still have both , my 70th birthday is coming up , I’ll take both out with my grandson and ‘appreciate’ them.
The first gun I got as a kid was a Savage 24 in .22/20 ga. was a great all around gun. Had a Williams peep sight and was pretty accurate. Had a “ fancy” checkered stock with white spacer.
I got a savage fox double 20 gauge and a Winchester 320 .22 so traded the 24 in on Ruger .22 auto pistol.
I’ve had a couple more 24s over the years but always sold or traded them down the road. Had one of the “ tenite” plastic stocked ones even.
One that I always wanted was the Camper model , shorter barrels, and had a trap in the stock to store some shells. Came with a case that held the gun when you broke it down.
Finally a couple years ago I go to a local auction and there one sets!...Trouble is they also had a real nice High Standard .22 Military Target pistol which I bought instead. Oh well.
I was just using my Savage 24D. I do love it, although I've always thought the trigger was a bit heavy. It definitely has improved my shooting in general though as now I can shoot my lighter triggers that much better.
It's true - the trigger pull on a lot of these is character building.
The triggers on the later models are much heavier than the earlier guns . Interestingly , you can tell them apart rather easily with just a look . The triggers on the later guns have a stamped out , cheaper look to them , while the earlier ones are a pleasing rounded machined part . I have one of both and my early gun has been cut back and the front sight replaced so that when it's taken down , the two halves are the same length . Someday , I'm going to take them apart and compare the springs o see if I can perhaps significantly lighten the pull on the newer gun . It's horrendous !
open up the gun , take out the spacer behind the hammer spring , grind it down ( I cut mine in half) , put it back , perfect trigger pull
I have the Model 24H in 20ga./.22WMR. It was my first gun 47 years ago and I would never think of selling it.
I just got my Grandfathers 24 from one of his friends, was the first firearm I ever shot. I’ve been using it or upland hunting since the day I got it back in my hands. Scrap the 42 plastic and bring back the 24.
I have a model 24 it's a great go to gun for anything.
Over/Under .22/410 guns like this were the most commonly found among my friends while growing up on the farm in the 50s. Thanks for showing everyone the utility of these guns.
Thanks Rich : ) You know Rich - it's always so good to hear from you. Hope you and yours are happy and well. Keep shooting. : )
@@UnitedStatesOfGuns It's always good finding one of your posts. Since the shotgun on the model 24 is chambered in .410 it's worth mentioning my first personal firearm was a Stevens Savage Arms Model 59A .410. I took more game, varmints and predators with that gun as a teen than I have taken since.
The new Chiappa version is a good substitute and a fine firearm.
This is true
My selector for which barrel to use is on the hammer.
Mine too that's an older one he has had one of them with a tenite stock
Perfect! I had been thinking of asking you about the Savage 24 on Patreon, knowing how you seemed to like drillings. My dad bought me and my brother Savage 24Ds (I believe it is actually called a 24H-DL) with engraved satin silver receivers and checkered walnut Monte Carlo stocks in 1968 saying that they were guns we could do almost anything with. Mine, which I still have back in the States, is in 22 magnum/20 gauge with a Williams 5d receiver sight on the grooved top barrel---probably not ideal for quick shots at grouse., but I did get some and numerous squirrels and rabbits and the occasional groundhog. The only problem I ever had with it---and as I recall; my brother's had the same problem---was the the side-button selector failed and had to be replaced by buying the newer hammer with the selector on it. Those parts are a bit hard to find nowadays. I guess the comparative rarity of them now means the price is a bit up, but I would never sell mine.
parts are available on Numrich gun parts, Side selectors changed over the years, Numrich has diagrams of each model.
This is going back in time. A buddy of mine used to use one when we were turkey hunting in Clinton county Pennsylvania
I had a bunch of these,...camper model in a bag,the very nicest silver DL and J models. up to the coveted 30/30 and .357, mostly in 20 ga. Not so much the interested in .410's. To my thinking, the rare .223 model would be tops today.I'm not talking about new models,of which I know nothing. They are great if you could have or carry only one gun. Double duty on small game and up . In the last 20 years a M24 brings real good money. Up to $800. So I let someone else enjoy them, and got interested in another platform. Several variations in stocks,hammers and selectors. Some early ones were brazed together barrels.There was a cantilever scope mount,a see thru by JB holden and a magnetic mount. Ramp rears ,then fold downs.I would prefer the williams receiver sight with the small insert removed. Still could be accurate and fast with both barrels. Your eye auto centers thru that big peep very quickly. Thanks for another great video.
My Savage model 24 is 30-30, and 20 gauge. Added a red dot sight, and sling mounts
Awesome David!!!
Couldn’t find one, even a bout 20 years ago. So I had a Harrington and Richardson single shot 223 and got an extra barrel in 410. Great guns so far. Short system for a carry along, I keep one box of 223 and 410 together in its case, just in case. Not hardly any kick, but much fun.
My go to gun is a Savage 24 in .22/20 gauge. The versatility is great.
That's a gem - wish I had one. No luck yet : (
Mike, as a 12 year old the .22 over 20 Ga version was a birthday gift from my parents. At 26, fresh out of the military, I was starting a family, short on cash, and "stupidly" sold it.
40 years later, that is the last firearm that I have sold... lesson learned. Good news for safe manufacturers...
stories like this are why i kept my first run nocino sks which is a fuckup according to a gunsmith i took it too, it has a Russian bolt in it that the numbers actually match on. got it from a shipment that sat in Canada for over 20 years in cosmaline. same story with my east German Makarov. both ive been offered 3x what i paid. and im NOT making that mistake
@@rattyratstuff7125 p
My first gun - given by a dear Uncle. For all the guns I own, I will be most proud to leave this gun to my son and grandson. Savage is an American company.
I remember that 2001 gun digest catching my eye. Great cover pic.
Yup sir it's soldered. I have a 24 se 410 22 it's taken everything including close rang deer with slugs . Mine is steel.
Got my well worn short stock .410/.22 when I was 10. That was 60 years ago.
I put a zero power scope. Works great . Makes the 22 barrel easy to shoot more accurately because of the cross hairs and no magnification doesn't bother when using the 20 gauge barrel. The only scope mounts that would grip the receiver grooves were Warne steel.
That's an ideal solution.
Got me a Savage 24v SeriesD .357 Mag 20G Beautiful piece of Nostalgia. Can't say enough about it!!!
Bravo!!!! That's not easy! Now you're ready!
My father-in-law had the Savage over/under in 20 guage. First and only time I ever saw one. Never got to shoot it. He handed it down to his son.
I immediately recognized that Winchester 37A however as it was my first shotgun, given to me on my 14th birthday in 1973. 20 guage and that year was my first deer hunt. Using slugs, shot my first deer with it, 4 pointer..(four each side), at a range of less than 10 feet! Only a large tree stood between me and that buck as he tried to run past me down the trail. I still have the Winchester today as it is a cherished gift from my dad who passed away 12 years ago last month.
North Dakota Ham 4 on each side means 8 pointer
@@jonmeray713 yep...that was it. Large deer...nearly ran over me! My dad also shot an 8 pointer that year but he was a bit better armed with a Colt bolt action, .243... with a scope. Ironically, I shot my deer at 10 feet and he shot his deer out on the prairie well over 400 yards.
This combination gun was oftentimes the weapon of choice around the farm when the family could only afford one gun to do everything. They put a LOT of meat in the pot over the years.
In german language this weapon is called Büchsflinte ( rifleshotgun) or Bockbüchsflinte ( when over/ under type). Those versions in .22/.410( 36 GA) are in german language countries common as socalled ,Schonzeitwaffe', Schonzeit is those part of the year , in which by law hunting is not allowed. The german hunters csrry such a ,smallbore' combiation gun in , Schonzeite' for the reason, that a final shot to a wounded animal is neccesary, or to shot poaching cats or dogs ( which is allowed in some context) or to shot ,Raubzeug', which means,, in some context it is allowed to shot foxes, weazles or crows. Also in german language countries the ,Bergstutzen' exists. This is a gun with a large bore barrel and a small bore barrel,, both rifled. In case of the Bergstutzen, the small bore barrel is a replacement for the shotgun barrel of the ,Büchsflinte'.
Hey good evening really enjoying all the videos so much information I have a savage model 24 in 22 magnum over 20 gauge I've had this gun for 51 years my dad bought it for me as my first shotgun so much sentimental value appreciate the video I hope you have a wonderful evening
Combination guns are one of those rare instances where you can get multiple uses without sacrificing functionality. A neat sporting gun and cool to see another gem from savage.
My first gun was a savage 64. Great little .22, I bought it with my tip money from Starbucks haha
Fun vid, old Shooters Bibles have great cover art, keep it up.
I've got a Gaucho single-shot 20-gauge, made in Brazil; breaks open by pulling back on the trigger guard. I also have a Stevens single-shot .410 shotgun. But for a woods/rambling gun, I typically carry either my Winchester 94 in .30-30 or my J.P. Sauer and Sohn drilling in 12-gauge/8.15x46R.
Years ago I bought a big box of ammo at a widow's yard sale after sorting through the boxes as to what I could use, I found a leather pouch in the bottom, opening it up I found and all metal broke down .22LR/.410 it had Bauer Rabbit on the side. I have since found out it was imported by Garcia. The pouch also had a pocket for a box of .22 and a box of 3 inch .410. It lived under the seat of my pickup for years next to my compact fly/spinning fishing kit, then one day in a fit of stupidity I traded it off at a gun show. Someday I may find another, as for the combo I always wanted one in .308/12 gauge or some other use full big game getter
My Savage is a model 24 C 22 LR 20 GA 20 inch barre ammo in the stock with a case go's in my truck and my backpack i got it in 1976 it is very good gun , it will cover bunny to bears and a Ruger in 45 LC what i carry as a backpacker and truck gun ,
You're ready for anything!
I have a old Steven's 22-410 before savage bought them out, love it. Great fun little gun.
My dad had same caliber set up. I don't remember the make.
I have a Baikal MP-94 chambered in .22 win mag / 20 gauge. Love it. I think it's a more solid version of combo then the savage. I do love savage though. Great video. Keep them coming :)
Yes I have one of those two in a 22 mag 20 gauge then I also have a 223 12 gauge just love shooting both of those guns and then I have a Savage 223 buy 20 gauge
I have a .222 over 20ga that was gifted to me by my grandfather. Makes for an excellent varmint/turkey gun. Been looking for a .22 over 20 24c for small game hunting.
Howdy ,get a 22 lr or mag chamber adapter. It works well
@@lrae1100 I see MCA Sports makes one for the .222 remington. Just need to pull the trigger and order it.
@@UziNineMillimeter my 24V was a gift also it had achamber adapter too you ll like it . the ejector not so much 👍🏽
My first gun was a Winchester 37A youth in 20 gauge. Still have it. I also now have the savage model 24 in .22/.410 and 12 gauge/ .30-.30 Love them all.
Perfect arsenal.
I bought one of these when I was 16. I’m now 73 and gave it to my son last year. It is a 22 Lr over a 20 ga. It will take a 3 inch shell. It has the barrel selector on the hammer.
The things that last....
Mine is the 22 long rifle over a 20 ga. Every time I ran across someone while squirrel hunting they would ask if I wanted to sell it. Still have that gun and yes I still squirrel hunt with it.
I have a savage 24c,.22lr above the 20 gauge barrel,also has a savage made .410 insert that slides right in to the 20 gauge barrel.
I have a Savage model 24 in 22 mag/20 gauge and use it for when I'm whistling in foxes. I found it ideal for this as some foxes would not come in close for the shotgun so you could reach out and get them with the 22 magnum. The only down side was fitting a scope securely was difficult. Thanks for sharing!
