Hey guys,
I have a Savage 24 Series S, 22 over 20 gauge. I have always known that it's fairly accurate. I took it out to see how well the barrels were lined up with each other. Not too bad, the 22 barrel is just about dead on, and the shotgun barrel, shooting 3/4 oz Breneke KO slugs just a bit left but into a nice cloverleaf. The range was 40 yards, and I also shot a 1 oz load of 6 shot just to see how that patterned. Point of aim was the bottom of the black diamond. 22 ammo was Aguila Super Extra, not the guns favorite, but not too bad. Shot pattern is not very tight, but would work ok on birds and small game inside 40 yards.
I guess I could drift the sight to get the slugs a bit closer to POA but it's only about 2-3" left now. Plenty close for what I need. Here's a picture, hopefully it will work.
