And this is just research ive read online. so im no expert so nobody please take this personal cause ive never owned a savage 24. but from what ive read about them the rifle barrel and shotgun barrel can be off from one another. When firing slugs or predator type loads out of the shotgun. I saw cz made a combo a couple years back. Any other factorys or custom makers that make them. A 12/357 is very Appealing as a all around camp/truck gun to run the same ammo as my pistol.
 
There are a lot or drillings and combination guns out there, most are big bucks. The Valmet, I think its Tikka now, is about the price of a good AR I think. I don't know about shooting the shotgun bbl with scope attached, maybe someone on here is more familier with these.
 
I have not heard of any in .357 but I have a Baikal(also formerly marketed by Remington) that is a 12ga over 30-06 that I bought off of Buds Guns for $408 delivered. I mounted an old Weaver 1-3 on it and its a shooter. The versatility of a double trigger combo gun while greatly appreciated for hunting in European countries is often overlooked here. I believe they are available in .223, .308, 270 and overseas 9.3X74. Cosmetically they are ok but they are built like a tank and will outlast you. I will occasionally pack it for spring turkey/bear season and also hike with it in summer for calling or bear defense. I think it is a good value for the money. A load of 3" #4 buck over a 180gr bullet is pretty good company on the trail!



P.S. I have not shopped for them in a while but if I remember correctly, when Russia invaded Ukraine, Obummer placed an embargo that shut down importation. Should still be available used though.
 
This is an old post that I came across, but I thought I would reply to it. I have two combination guns, one is an Italian made Sabatti 12ga over 6.5X57. Very nice gun with engraving, double trigger and the rifle barrel having a set trigger. The second and my favorite in a Valmet 412s, 12ga 3" over .223; not as fancy as the Sabatti. The OP is correct about the Savage 24 barrels being off. What's nice about the Valmet 412s' is you can adjust the rifle barrel to hit were the shotgun hits. I have a scope on mine and adjust the scope so the shotgun pattern is centered at 40 yards then I adjust the rifle barrel to hit were the scope is aimed at 100 yards. I believe the Valmet 412, Tikka 512, and Marocchi 512 guns are the only combo guns having this feature. Valmet sold their tooling to Tikka then Tikka sold the tooling to Marocchi. Marocchi is currently making the 512. These guns are pretty expensive today. In the late 80's and early 90's they sold for approximately $500.00. I purchased my Valmet four years ago, unfired in the original box and sealed with cosmoine for $1600.00. You don't see many of these and far fewer with a .223 barrel. Any Valmet barrel set will fit on the Valmet 412 receiver. They came in double rifle barrels and double shotgun barrels and various combination set ups.

Correction: the Marocchi is now called the Finn 612 and comes in these rifle calibers 222R-223R-30.06-308W-6,5×55-7x57R-8x57JRS-9,3x74R.

There is a person in TX importing the Marocchi Finn 612 over/under shotgun are around $1500.00, 612 gun with combo barrels are around $1,900.00.
 
Not sure of any combo's in the caliber/gauge set-up's that the Op asked about other than the Savage 24's. I have a Tikka from probably the 70/80's that was also sold here with Ithaca's name on it, and 2 Marocchi 389's that are Armsport marked, but were sold w/ Savage's name on them for a short while. All three are 222 Rem and 12 ga. Might even divest of a couple in the interest of some diversity in the stable here.
 
I have two combo guns at the moment, one is a Bernardelli 12ga/5.6x50R Magnum the other is BRNO 5.6x52R(22 Savage Highpower)/12ga. Both are set up with Leupold 1-4x20mm scopes and will shoot sub-MOA groups to 300 yards. I sold an American Arms(made by Marrochi) 12ga/222Rem that was extremely accurate. Picture of them are in my 2016 PM Hunt trip report. All the coyotes I killed on the trip were taken with combo or drilling type guns. The two drillings I hunt with are sub-MOA shooters àlso. All of these are very well regulated to use the shotgun barrels with the scope.

I owned a Sav 24 223/20gà and of all the combination guns I've owned it was the worst I've used and I sold it after one season.
 
Yes, I forgot to mention the accuracy of my two combination guns. Both will shoot MOA groups. Its amazing how accurate European combo guns are. The new Marocchi 612s' have a carbon wrapped rifle barrel to stiffen it and reduce the weight. Also a system for adjusting the rifle barrels point of impact.
