Was at a gun show about a month ago, I saw 3 Savage model 24C's for sale. The going price was from $500 to $575. All were in decent shape one was even pristine. I was wondering what you all thought was a fair price since the values seem to always be going up on Savages and especially the model 24C.

I paid $550 for my 24C about a year ago at a gun show and its in really good shape. I was happy with that price, although the wife didn't see it my way lol.

I bought two Model 24 C's at the Tulsa show in April 2014. I paid $400 for one with the side selector and $475 for one with the trigger-guard break. Both are in good shape (great metal but handling marks on the cheaper one). Both have the factory cases that came with these guns. I told the guy selling them he had them priced a bit on the low side, but he said he'd be satisfied with the price on them, so I bought them both.

I just bought my first two. I bid $725 on one in an auction, and (thankfully) I lost it to a bid of $750. I then paid on Guns America, $624 for a 24C series S, shipped to my FFL, who then charged me $32 transfer fee. The same day it arrived, I found one in a local gun shop, a 24D series P, that I bought for $375, plus tax. I just posted a photo in another thread. Both have EXCELLENT bores. The stocks have a couple dings, but nothing I can't live with. Most I see are between $500 and $800.

Wow! Hey, a new member here... just signed up. I was reading an article in the new "Guns" magazine and saw an article about the Savage Mdl 24. This web side was mentioned so I thought I would look it up.
I was given a .22/.410 by a lady in 1970. The combo was her husbands, but he had died. I had helped the lady out and she gave me the gun in thanks. It was the teonite plastic model; the stock had a big chunk knocked out the to toe of the stock. Over the years I replaced the stock and forearm with wood replacements, probably from Numrich. I still have the teonite stock on a shelf in the closet.
I gave it to my son for his son to shoot 3-4 years ago, and he has now grown up to a 20 ga. Benelli Novus and will probably get a 12 ga. this year. My grandson shot his first dove with it. I just checked my inventory book and I don't have it listed. I'll need to get it back to update my inventory.
Anyway, as a young boy on the family farm back in Iowa in the 1950's, I was shooting a Rem. Mdl 24 that came down through the family. A neighbor kid that lived on the farm north of ours had a .22/.410. The first I had ever seen. He was a good shot with it. We used to meet up from time to time and shoot sparrows and ground squirrels along the fence lines. I always thought it was a really neat gun, but a year or two later (1953) when my Mdl 24 reached retirement age (Mfr. in 1925) I bought a Win. Mdl 62A with my hybrid corn detasseling money. A whole $47.50.
When I get the serial number and a picture of it, I will post it back on here. I looked at a couple listed on Gun Broker recently and was quite surprised at the money they were bringing. But it seems like a lot of the older models are bring unbelievable prices these days.
I think I would like to have one of the centerfires over a 20 ga. Maybe a .22 hornet. That would have been a good combo as a kid on the farm for jack rabbits.
Those were the days. Tigerbeetle

Hmmm. I bought my first Mdl 24 in 1958, thanks to DeKalb seed corn (I lived in No. Illinois). Cost was $37.50, which works out to $305 in today's dollars. I must have mowed a lot of lawns and plucked a lot of tassels. Your 1953 Winchester cost $418 today....you were a good saver!

Iowa south of Eagle Grove. I detasseled one more year on a mounted unit. You had to be fast on those things. TB |

Bought my first Savage 24 (but by no means my first gun)second hand for $35.00 in the late 1950's. It was a .22mag/410, the first that I had ever seen. .22mag ammo was rather hard to find and cost about 5 times the cost of .22 LR high velocity. But it was quite accurate and a great woodchuck gun on the dairy farms of Vermont. Lots of good memories. As a side note, I always was taken with the "neat" ads in the sporting magazines, even Boy's Life, for the Stevens/Savage 24's and other .22's. You saw a .22 you liked, saved your hard earned money, and at 16 years old or more, you sent away for your .22 rifle or went into the local farm store to buy it. Those were the days for young boys!!!
