They were/are sweet little things and the two I handled and fired in central Alaska were great - accurate with the 22lr, just right for out to 30 yards or so with the shotgun, and (bonus) better than average with slugs - quite good, actually. Not too heavy at about 6 1/4 lbs, 18" barrels (no choke), a simple buttstock trap for 2 shells and 10 lr, a factory case for the broken-down gun - well, the 24C was a dandy. They were extra sweet rigged up with a sling. Here, I'll let some pics give you an idea:

The little guy is the 24C, of course.





OK - wipe the drool off your keyboard, please.

I'd like to find a couple in good shape, but they are rare. Savage is missing out by not re-introducing these babies. These are a real back-packer's pot gun and better than sticking your arm down a bear's mouth. Only reason I didn't buy one when I could? It was the only Savage M24 at the time that had a 2 3/4" chamber instead of a 3". Stupid, I know - but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
