while waiting for my savage 17 hornet a gun dealer friend of mine just offered me a savage 24 in 20 gauge 3ins mag and 223rem i think its the v model its has the walnut stock i have to say its minter, its has a 6 power scope mounted on it, does anybody know what the twist rate in the 223 rem is and what you think of these model 24 the price is right on it the gun has no work at all well looked after do i buy it or stay well clear of it, atb steve
 
I had a Savage 24V and hated it. It was a .223 over a 12ga 3". The trigger pull felt like 20lbs, the selector switch on the hammer was difficult to operate with glove hands but the real issue was with the POI. When using my scope I had to aim at least a foot and a half high while using the shotgun barrel. Try that when aiming at a running critter.
 
Sold one here a couple years ago and it was pretty nice, I had a gunsmith work over the trigger so it shot pretty well,. Poi was pretty close so I could use the scope even for flying birds. I did dislike the selector on the hammer but it wasn't that difficult to operate. It was a 223 over 20ga walnut stock.

I found a 12 ga over 5.6x50R Mag Italian O/U with two triggers and the rifle trigger was a set trigger so I sold the Savage to finance the Italian beauty.
 
They are handy guns for multi species hunts.

Not legal in all states to hunt with both barrels loaded at the same time if anyone else is looking at them.
