Bought two savage combo's
« on: August 12, 2010, 02:45:09 PM »
Like a dummy I sold my savage model 24 .22/.410 a few years back. Well today I walk into a pawn shop & they have two on the rack. I could not decide what one to buy, so he gave me a deal if I bought both. The are both in 98% cond. I gave $850 for the pair.

#1- 24J-dl .22/.410

#2- late model 30-30/20ga with black plastic stock

Congratulations...

And welcome back to the combo club....

Are you going to shoot slugs out of the 410?

When are you going to take them to the range?

I plan on going to the range next friday if my Midway order comes in. I purchased some scope mounts & see-thru rings.

Yes, I have some .410 slugs I going to try.

Well the 30-30/20ga shot 1" groups @ 50yds. Should be good enough for a brush gun. The 100yd range was crowded, so try @ 100yds next time. I was shooting Hornady Lever 160gr factory ammo. Going to hand load some 150gn bullets when I get some dies.

The .22/.410 shot great. Sighted in dead on @ 25yds. ended up with a 10 shot group about the size of a nickle.
