Good article on the Savage 24. I have a 24H-DL, in .22lr/20 ga. I bought it brand new, years (and years) ago. I went into the local hardware for a box of 20 ga. for my Cooey single shot, and the guy figured I should have the beautiful little Savage. So did I!! I love that little gun, and use it exclusively for hunting ruffed grouse (bush partridge in our area) and prairie chicken. The finish is worn off from many thousands of miles riding around in my truck and from carrying, but it is still my favorite. I wouldn't mind having a 30-30/20 ga. Ah, what the heck.... and a .223/20, and a .22/410.
