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.
That was a very nice honest review thank you! Subscribed!
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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!
Thanks, I grew up with one of these Savage model 24s. It was a wonderful firearm.
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.
I have this same gun in .22LR/20G and it is the BEST all around gun!
Got the 24v with 20g and .22 hornet myself. Probably my favorite gun!
My dad has one just like that. It definitely is a go to gun for the woods.
Always interesting info, stellar video 👍
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 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'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 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.
A Savage 24 was my first gun as well.
Given at Christmas 1966, Loved that gun and like you wish I still had mine.
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.
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.
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 ?
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 was sorry to see that you took down your last video of the big bore shooting, I really enjoyed that video.
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.
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.
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.
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}
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 remember that 2001 gun digest catching my eye. Great cover pic.
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!
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.
Great videos!! Keep them coming.
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.
G'day from the land down under. Thank you so much for taking time out to make these videos. I have only recently discovered your channel and I thoroughly enjoy your company and firearm collection. I have a few requests if possible. I'd love to see a review of an ATA 686 shotgun, Cogswell & Harrison Certus rimfire rifle. Also it could be nice to see the cameraman from time to time and get there opinion. Thanks again.
Fun vid, old Shooters Bibles have great cover art, keep it up.
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
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 have one, but the stock and hand grip is a plastic material. Love it!
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.
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.
Hey there sir I enjoy your videos Thank you for all the detailed information you provide
Enjoyed the presentation. Thank you for sharing the information. Be safe! - Tennessee Smoky
Thank you! All the best to you and yours!
thanks for the review of an old classic. I have not seen one the 22/410 over and under since i was a young boy.
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...
Thank for bringing this to video
Hi Timothy, You're most welcome - you know how great these are! Have a super weekend and be safe.

🇺🇸>> 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 UA-cam 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" ?
"Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood."

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.
I genuinely appreciate your content as I know others do. You have a great personality, and are the kind of person I really enjoy being around.
Thank you Brooks. I'm glad you're here and that the channel is okay. God Bless.
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.
Just subscribed after watching some of your videos. I love the 24! I have the camper model which was hard to find. Also a 22lr over 410 and a 22mag over 20 which is probably the best hunting model. I saw a 357 over 20 or 12, I don’t remember. Unfortunately I was short of money that time. I see them for about $700 plus these days unless the seller is not aware. Keep up the good work!
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 : )
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.
I inherited a 22/410 from my dad and its my favourite rifle.
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 first gun back in 1963 was a .22/.410 Savage. I wish I still had it...
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'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.
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.
thanks for the memories
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 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!
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.
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 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.
Another excellent video
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!!
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
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!
Beautiful gun. I have an early one and love it. Nice job.
I have a model 24 it's a great go to gun for anything.
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.
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!
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.
Got my well worn short stock .410/.22 when I was 10. That was 60 years ago.
I love the Winchester 37 and the 370. Mine are 16 gauge. I also have a Savage 24HDL deluxe with gold trigger and nickel receiver in 22 mag and 20 gauge. Worth its weight in gold.
Had a friend that had one I cared a 410 bore he had 22 over 410 bore. We brought home squirrels and rabbits for years with them as kids.
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
This is going back in time. A buddy of mine used to use one when we were turkey hunting in Clinton county Pennsylvania
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.
I got mine from my grandfather and I'm 55 now so I'm sure its older but i stripped the stain on the wood there was beautiful light colored nicely grained wood stock i was amazed
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 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 had a Savage 24C, 22LR over 20 guage, and a Savage 24V, .357 Magnum over 20 guage. Loved both of them.
I have had 3 of these and they have all been super accurate.
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 : (
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.
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.
Mike great video as usual
Thank you!
I liked the one Billy from Preditor had M-16 with a Remington 870 pistol grip mounted underneath. Serious firepower
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.
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.
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.
You have the best insight of all firearms arms, and you always have the best foresight about them. I have the exact over under 22-410 I also have the exact Winchester in 28ga my 28 is a 370 which is my first that my dad gave me. Your first example looks like my 370. I assume you called yours a 37 by mistake or I couldn’t see it well enough on film. Thank you for your great information and excellent content.
Glad you've got excellent guns - here is a link to the 37 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Model_37
Thank you for the kind words and being on the channel.
Greetings to you friend! Great to get back to you!
Sweet gun. I like the .410 bore. I have a Stevens single shot and a Mossberg bolt action wjth a blind magazine that holds 3 rounds.
I wanted the one in .30-30/12ga for a while. They were late production. I saw two types of rifle sights. One with the classic elevator ramp and one with the fragile folding sight like the ones on Ruger 10/22s. I didn’t want it at all. I found one with the sight I wanted and bought it. I quickly became disenchanted. Even with the synthetic stock, it was heavy as a pig. I let it go without the regret you had with your light small bore model.
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

I learned to hunt with a single shot .410 it was a great squirrel gun. I never had a double gun except for a 12ga double barrel. I traded it for a pump because it always shot low.
I use to have the 22/20ga Version that came with a 410 aluminum adapter tube, The selector switch was on the hammer it was a 24D . Sadly it was sold but i still have the 410 tube it fits in a H&R / NEF 20ga single shot.
