Old savage 24V value
« on: January 23, 2011, 06:08:03 AM »
I have an OLD savage 24V. Only has a 4 digit serial number. .222/20guage metal is real good no rust. Wood has some scratches mostly cosmetic nothing deep. Im thinking the gun is 40-50+ years old I'm not sure. It has a fox engraved on one side and a turkey on the other side of the receiver.  Any idea on what it's worth?

Savage chambered the M24-V for .222 Rem in 1967 only, and your gun books for about $350, +/-.

You should research sold/closed gun auctions (only), like gunbroker or auctionarms, to find out how much someone recently been actually willing to pay for one in like condition.

That is a fairly uncommon chambering, I have a 30-30 over 20 gauge.  I would not be surprised to see it bring $400.00 plus if it is in good shape.  Larry

It's not all that uncommon.  I bought one last year for $250.00 at a gun show.  Took it out and shot it.  The 20ga worked fine, but the .222 would not shoot good.  Brought it home and took the barrel off.  Put it in a gun vise and checked the straightness of the barrel.  Barrel was bent, took it back and got my money back.  Went down the line and found another just like it.  Kept looking around and found five or six more, all in .222-20ga.  Saw a few .22LR over .410s.  Then I found what I really wanted, a 24F in .223 over a 12ga.  Bought that one, paid $375.00 I'm happy.  .223 shoots real good, and the 12ga has removable chokes. 

My son Sky comendeered it.  He carries it in his truck all the time.

Thats not true, that statement is an error in the blue book that was never corrected and should say it was first produced in 1967.

The 24V in 222 over 20 gauge is actually the most common chambering of the 24V, being first produced in that chambering in 1967, and chambered in that combination every year from 1967 till Savage went into Chapter 11 in 1988 or 1989.

I've seen them at gun shows for $450 to $650.  I traded a .223/20 for mine and am very happy with it.  It will group 1-1/2" at 100 yd. and I got 4 woodchucks with it one day last summer at 50 and 150 yds.  I have a reduced load that approximates a .22 Hornet that shoots as well as the full power load.  The shotgun barrel is regulated to the rifle barrel (it's a miracle!).

I also have a Stevens .22/.410 and Savage 24's in .22/20, .22 mag./20, and .30-30/20.

I have a 22/410 that I got for my 15th birthday.  Lets see that was...a lot of years ago.  I shot it until the sites fell off and then had a 'scope mount' welded on top.  Value of that gun..priceless!

So, RJ, you got one for your 15th. birthday. I was 15 in 1962 and also got one for my birthday, .22 WMR on top and .410. It resides in pristine condition in my gun cabinet, and has put many a grouse in the pot and no number available for jack rabbits, chucks, magpies, ground squirrels, and everything else. About as fine a rifle as I've ever owned.
