I finally got a nice clean Savage 24V series B at the Gun Show in .30-30/20 Gauge. I had to pay $400.00 but the metal finish is perfect and the black walnut stock is really nice. I will post pics soon. The guy wanted $600.00 to start with which is nuts IMO.
These guns are getting expensive because they are very popular among us "survival enthusiast"
This is about the best combo that they offered IMO.
