Hi everyone. I thought I'd post some pics of my recently acquired Savage 24. This is my first one and I'm very grateful to all those who have shared their knowledge and experience with these guns online. I've always liked the idea of a combination gun and for the type of hunting I do, I think I'm really going to enjoy it. I'm more of a "woods forager" than a hunter. I'm just as likely to come home with plants or mushrooms or fish...I just really enjoy wild food.
So here she is: It's a 1965 (I think) Savage 24 S-A that is .22 Long Rifle over 20 Gauge. The recoil pad was on it when I purchased it but I added the neoprene shell sleeve. Thanks to whoever pointed out that the recoil pad makes perfect on-board storage for .22 rounds. I also added the appropriate Uncle Mike's hardware and a paracord strap. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
Oh, I know the "S" indicated the side lever but does anyone have a clue what the "A" means? I'm guessing it has something to do with it being "field grade". Not sure what the wood is...maple, birch or something.
